SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The bigger story is whose idea it is.
Is the USTA obeying in advance or did they get a directive from somewhere in the government or the power elite?

I think they're just scared of the DOJ that is a) just a personal sue machine for Trump and 2) just a bottomless pit of tax money to pursue those whimsical lawsuits.

Meanwhile, great to see Nick Folk still in the league swinging his steady leg, back with the Jets after cranking out the two best statistical years of his career with the Titans.
He had a good thing going with the Pats but idiot GM Belichick decided to draft a PK in the 4th round (apparently, no long snappers were available) and moved Folk on to Tennessee. Nick excelled in Nashville and the rookie in Foxboro sucked. Dumb draft choice. One of many.
Nick is only 40, so he's got a ways to go if he wants to get into the rock of ages Adam Vinatieri / Morten Andersen / George Blanda territory.
