Neo Workxx » to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the West

Out on the lawns at SW19, the spirit of John McEnroe is not just alive and well, but spewing obscenities. Modern-day male tennis players are more prone to emotional outbursts -- whether thats raging at umpires, breaking rackets or dropping f-bombs on the grass -- than their female counterparts.Thats not conjecture, but analysis of the data -- the Wimbledon Diary has been crunching numbers (almost with the same enthusiasm as some of the competitors have been crunching rackets).Serena Williams received plenty of attention for bashing her racket on the grass during her second-round match, and then tossing it behind her into a cameramans lap. For that, she was fined $10,000. And the biggest punishment of the tournament so far went to Heather Watson, who was fined $12,000 for whacking her racket on the turf during her opening-round loss.But, according to the latest list that the International Tennis Federation have published, only one other woman has been fined during these Championships, with Spains Sara Sorribes Tormo docked $1,500.That takes the total fines to date for female players to $23,500, which is still considerably less than the men, who have had $39,000 taken from their prize-money. So far, some 13 different men have been fined, with Australias Nick Kyrgios appearing twice on the list, once for unsportsmanlike conduct in the opening round, which cost him $2,500, and then for swearing in his second round, for which he was fined $4,000.The man with the largest fine was Serbias Viktor Troicki, who lost $10,000 for ranting at an official: You are the worst umpire in the world.Remind you of anyone?Macs art attackMilos Raonic and McEnroe, the Canadians grass-court consultant, have been bonding over a shared love for modern art. No doubt McEnroe -- an ESPN analyst -- has been telling Raonic about his encounters with Andy Warhol in New Yorks Studio 54 nightclub. McEnroe first appeared in Warhols diaries in 1979.Not that McEnroe was that impressed with the artist. The tennis player just thought of Warhol as this weird guy who was always at parties taking pictures. He was astonished when Warhol turned out to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.Quote of the dayMurrays coach finds extra driveAndy Murrays coach, Jamie Delgado, is a local. He lives in Southfields, which is a 10-minute stroll from the All England Club. But you probably wont see him walking along the pavement. Delgado told the Wimbledon Diary how he often prefers to order one of the tournaments courtesy cars to take him to and from his home.Cover your ears: grunting is here to stayThe other day, before making the trip to London, Pam Shriver went to watch some junior tennis and must have been tempted to stick her fingers in her ears.My boy plays junior tennis and I was at a tournament in California and heard a 12-year-old who, pound for pound, had the loudest grunt Ive ever heard. That gave me pause. I thought to myself, Urrgh, were just letting another generation just grunt away. I dont see anything that the game is doing, such as in the rules, to change this, Shriver, also an ESPN analyst, told the Wimbledon Diary.This echoes what Nick Bollettieri has been saying: grunting isnt about to disappear any time soon.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- For most Big Ten Conference football teams, a step-down game is one to put in the win column.After being blown out by now No. 8 Washington in Chris Ashs coaching debut at Rutgers, its hard to know what to expect when the Scarlet Knights face Howard on Saturday.Rutgers did not play well in dropping a 48-13 decision to the Huskies. They trailed 24-0 after the first quarter, 34-3 at the half and 48-3 after three quarters.Howard will be playing its second straight Big Ten foe. It opened with a 52-13 loss to Maryland in a game it trailed 42-0 after three quarters.Howard gives us as a program another opportunity to go out and show that were improving, and weve got to go out and compete to show that we came back from last Saturday, Ash said.Since taking the Rutgers job, Ash has insisted that rebuilding the program isnt solely about wins and losses.What drives me is to get a team of individuals, coaches and players to go out and try to perform to our potential, he said. Did that happen Saturday? No, it did not, and thats what Im really disappointed about. Do I hope we win every game? Absolutely, and thats what we want and thats what everybody wants, but at the end of the day -- at the start of it, I want us to be a program that goes out and performs to our full potential every chance that we get.Howard coach Gary Harrell said his team had chances against Maryland early and did not make the plays.You have to play better and you limit the mistakes if you want to get the results that you ultimately want, Harrell said of playing teams in a higher category.LAVIANO IN CHARGEChris Laviano won the starting job as Rutgers quarterback and thats not changing after an up-and-down performance against Washington.dddddddddddd.Ash stressed that Laviano has to protect the ball better. He put it in jeopardy while running and again when he was under a pass rush.He put the ball in harms way, and he needs to get that fixed, Ash said. Thats a big deal. We talked a lot about that in the decision making process to name Chris the starter. Chris has earned the right to be the starter here based on what hes done from spring and summer and through training camp, but he needs to protect the football.GOOD STARTHoward receiver Kyle Anthony was named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference rookie of the week. The 6-foot-3 freshman from Miramar, Fla. caught a game-high 7 passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to Maryland. Two of his other receptions went for first downs.LAST DANCEThis will be the final game between Rutgers and Howard for the foreseeable future. The Big Ten Conference frowns on its football teams playing against FCS opponents, and Rutgers will no longer play the Bison. Its last game against an FCS team will be next season versus Morgan State.Rutgers has won each of the previous four games against Howard by a combined 165-39 margin. All games have been played in Piscataway, with the last one ending in a 38-25 win.PRESIDENTIAL MEETINGPresident Barack Obama spoke at three college commencements last spring: Air Force, Rutgers and Howard.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
