The Useless Critic 2.0

As entertaining as it was yesterday to see that Maria Sharapova took the podium with a silver medal (I forget who got the Gold, someone not important), but today’s Men’s Tennis final between Great Britain’s Andy Murray and Roger Fedasomething might have been more appealing. There you have it, the British Andy Murray won Gold on Center Court in Wimbledon. After always coming up short, and never earning a major Grand Slam Title and always coming up short in second or third place, Andy Murray now has a Gold Medal in Men’s Singles Tennis.  He might be exuberant   at times.

I don’t know who took these, but I am pretty sure they photographed them with a potato.)  Serena Williams took Gold: Who the Fuck Cares?   Maria Sharapova took Silver This was really beating me up. I frequently state that I am the world’s largest Maria Sharapova fan, not in size…just in the size of my heart! Bam, suck that Williams! Anyway, on a serious note, I was really hoping for Maria to win her first Gold Medal at the Olympics. In the famous words of Will Ferrell “There is nothing wrong with silver,” but fuck that noise, I wanted my Maria to win Gold. Instead, that boring tater salad Serena Williams took gold. That’s the kryptonit...
