    Len's Top 5

    Happy Tuesday everyone, here's my Top 5 for September 15, 2009 from Len Berman Sports.

    1. Quick Hits

    Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina pulls the stunning upset. He knocks off 5 time U.S. Open champ Roger Federer in 5 sets.
    Ho Hum, the Patriots trailed Buffalo by 11 points last night in the final minutes but Tom Brady rallies New England to a 25-24 win.
    In a possible playoff preview, the Yankees beat the Angels 5-3.

    2. Long Live the King

    Was that a blip on the radar last night or the changing of the guard? After a lackluster start, Juan Martin del Potro bounced back and dominated the great Roger Federer. In 1981, John McEnroe did it to Bjorn Borg, and Borg walked out of tennis. I'm not convinced its the end of the line for Federer, but just like boxing, tennis players can age in a hurry. There are always younger Turks like del Potro coming along to claim the throne.

    3. I'm Sorry

    A simple phrase that Serena Williams just can't say. She didn't say it in her news conference or in her first press release. It finally said she was sorry yesterday on her website. But after she won the doubles yesterday, she couldn't utter that simple phrase when Patrick McEnroe gave her the chance. Leads me to believe somebody else writes the stuff on her website.

    4. Tuesday Morning Quarterbacking

    Now that the first weekend of NFL football is finally over, a couple of thoughts. With all the hoo hah over quarterback Jay Cutler leaving Denver, and showing up in Chicago. Denver won, the Bears lost.
    -----
    New season, same old same old. The Lions, Raiders and Bengals are all winless. Detroit, who else, yielded the most points of any team.
    -----
    And you knew it was bound to happen. Michael Vick shows up in Philly, and Donovan McNabb cracks a rib. Even though they signed Jeff Garcia yesterday, Vick could be running the Eagles (after his 2 week suspension) faster than you can ask "who let the dogs out?"

    5. Name Dropping

    Last night at the U.S. Open I sat next to Stanley Tucci and right behind Judd Hirsch and Matthew Broderick. Tony Bennett and Bruce Willis were across the aisle. Pretty cool. And in a weird juxtaposition, Jack Nicklaus was a few rows away. I was wondering if he was thinking, "aha, Federer is stuck on 15 and Tiger on 14. Maybe my record of 18 majors is safe afterall!"

    Happy Birthday: Hall of Fame pitcher Gaylord Perry (Mr. Spitball). 71.
    Bonus Birthday: Mr. Conspiracy, director Oliver Stone. 63.

    Today in Sports: Muhammad Ali beats Leon Spinks in 15 rounds to reclaim the heavyweight title for the third time. 1978.
    Bonus Event: Pie charts! USA Today is born. 1982.
