One of the great things about the phone call is that it’s a free-for-all among friends  That’s also… Continue reading →

John McEnroe got into trouble for not calling Serena Williams the best tennis player in the world. He called her the best female tennis player but that was not enough for NPR. I am for equality. Let the women become part of the men’s league. Tennis and golf are great sports to try this experiment.
