Tennis will never be the same after Harkleroad
Tennis was a sport played by coy women. Little TV teases like Sharapova and Kournikova. Women known as much for their beauty as their backhand. Women who show a lot of leg. Women who have necklines almost cut to there. Women who wear sexy outfits on the court and get caught, by photographers, in bikinis and mini skirts off the court. Women who knew marketing was as much about being tall, blonde and lithe as being a dominant force in the sport. All that changed last week.
Ashley Harkleroad appeared in Playboy. It was not a little tease of an article. The photos delivered everything as promised. She was there in various poses with her tennis skirt, sports bra and a few pictures with neither. It was everything you would expect from a pictorial in Playboy. It was a professional tennis player in all her glory.
This was not Sharapova in a short skirt on Letterman. This was not Kourikova in a tight sweater on Leno. This was a tall, blonde and beautiful, professional athlete as naked as the day she was born. Granted she is not one of the world’s best but neither was Anna Kournikova.
Ashley Harkleroad has blazed a trail. Never again will we be satisfied with a glimpse of cleavage on center court. Never again will we be content to see upper thigh on a rush to the net. Never again will a bikini shot on the French Riviera bring the same attention it did before Harkleroad. We have seen the promised land and we like it.
It will, from this point forward, take skin to win. No longer will a marginally skilled player with looks, like Kournikova, be able to smile her way to millions. She will have to produce more than a bra less t shirt shot on Sports Center to get attention. To be considered a tennis sex symbol she will have to produce the goods.
Tennis stars will now be like movie stars – their clothed beauty will be expected and not cherished. They will have to do something more to get notoriety. They will have to do a “Harkleroad’ to get famous.
Either that or just play great tennis – that will work too!

Paula Creamer needs to pull a Harkleroad
Paula Creamer needs to pull a Harkleroad
For those of you who have been locked in a closet without Internet or television – a “Harkleroad” refers to a mediocre women’s tennis player named Ashley Harkleroad – who shed her clothes for Playboy magazine.
Ashley Harkleroad is currently ranked 72nd in the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Singles Rankings (as of Jul 28, 2008) but she is first in the minds of every male tennis fan that has seen her pictures. She looks great without covering but she is certainly no Maria Sharapova. She is neither Maria in looks or skill.
It was my first instinct when I saw Ashley Harkleroad’s photos, if golf wanted to keep pace with tennis, in the glamour division, Anna Rawson would have to pose for a major magazine. Preferably the “Wives Pictures” section of ClubHusband. Yes I know Anna isn’t married but we let single women who look like Rawson in too. I have rethought my position.
Anna, in my opinion beats Ashley in the looks department but skill level is probably pretty close to even. Both are closer to the bottom of the rankings then the top. So given the fact Ashley Harkleroad posed first – Anna probably isn’t enough to make us forget about tennis.
Now take Paula Creamer. (something I have dreamed of often ) Paula is every bit as hot as Ashley Harkleroad. In my opinion Creamer beats her in every category except we have ( at least I haven’t yet ) seen Paula in all her glory.
You combine the looks, with the fact, Paula Creamer is currently ranked fourth in the world in her sport and golf has a real chance of surpassing tennis as the sexiest sport.
All golf has to do is convince Paula Creamer to wear a short golf skirt and not a lot else on the pages of Playboy. After all she has already been in Palm Springs Life. How much different can it be?
I am sure the old hags who run the LPGA will get right on that assignment. Remember when Natalie Gulbis posed in a bikini and they dropped their teeth? They are not exactly forward thinking intervals.
The LPGA needs to realize if they are going to get the publicity and money tennis commands they need to be bold. They need to be daring.
They and I need Playboy pictures of Paula Creamer!
By the way the women’s British Open golf tournament starts tomorrow

Lance Armstrong is an idiot…Kate Hudson can play with me!
Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson have broken up. The reason reported was “schedule was too busy”.
How can a guy, who found time to ride a bicycle through France every year, not find time for Kate Hudson? He has got to be the worst scheduler ever or the testicular cancer made him like bike seats more than hot blondes.
I am married. I have several children of varied sizes and shapes. I have four blogs to write. I have two websites I edit. I have two Boxers, dogs not fighters. I have a foot and a half tall cockatoo who jabbers endlessly and wants attention constantly. I have a full sized chimp and a half sized midget. To say the least – my life is full.
If Kate Hudson wants to pal around I am available. If I was single, like Lance, I would be very available but wives tend to frown on getting too friendly with Hollywood starlets. Very unreasonable people those wives.
How can Lance Armstrong not find time for Goldie Hawns kid? Talk about a mother- in – law you could get into? Wow, the fantasy alone would be worth freeing up some schedule.
I am tempted to call bicycle boy myself and teach him about the use of Daytimers The only reason I don’t is because – me like most men when we hear a sex kitten is newly single – have an illusion she may show up for brunch or a late night snack. Preferably in reverse order and on continuous days with a little spooning in between.
Yes I know I am married and the midget and chimp tell her everything. So does the cockatoo by the way. The boxers don’t - because I bribe them with snacks. Married or not, men still have fantasies that one day while banging out a senseless article like this - a small, cute long haired blonde with the body of a cheerleader will take us away from all this.
I am sure it would have happened by now if I could of just found the time.

Rambo surprise me
We rented Rambo the fight continues and belive it or not it was pretty good. A lot gorier than the other three. Stallone maybe be 85 but he still kicks major butt when he gets in a jungle.

Wipeout
Again if you haven’t seen Wipeout you need to. It may be childish and slap stick but it is still hilarious. My nineteen year old son, Chris, makes fun of it but he always happens to be in the room when it is on the television.
The “big balls” are to TV what Earnhardt was to NASCAR.
The best thing ever!!!

Wednesday Morning
Not much coffee yet so bear with me.
Big Brother 10 was pretty good last night. Mostly because the head of Household gets most of the air time and Keesha the Hooters Girl is HoH. So we saw a whole lot of Keesha in a tight tank top. The did a challenge or competition or whatever the hell they call it where they layed in a flower bed and was watered, fertilized and had worms dumped on them. Don’t even try to tell me you guys who saw it didn’t think about dumping your worm on Keesha.

Jessica Simpson’s shape is liked by Tony Romo
I saw a report today on E explaining Jessica Simpson wouldn’t be dieting before marrying Dallas Cowboy’s quarterback Tony Romo. They explained - Tony likes Jessica’s shape just the way it is. No kidding?
All men east of San Francisco like Jessica Simpson’s shape just the way it is, you moron. She may be dumb as a door but she is built for fun. Her buxom little body topped with blonde flowing hair makes even the most die hard Redskin’s fan envy Romo.
I don’t care where she thinks Buffalo wings come from, I would eat hot wings with her anytime. She may think Chicken of the Sea is chicken, but who cares as long as she lets the oil glisten on her full pouty lips.
Jessica you just keep being you.
If Tony changes his mind and has a problem
There might be a few guys willing to take his place.
