Our good friend Taco is famous for going on long-winded rants about things he doesn’t like. He builds up steam and, thanks to increasing swears combined with a better-than-average vocabulary, hilarity often ensues. One of his classics, that our guy Diddy always remembers, was a big screed against Olympic tennis, which closed with the line, “Who gives a rat’s [redacted] about Olympic tennis?” He has a point; Andy Roddick agrees (from the AP):

Andy Roddick won’t be going for gold this summer. The highest-ranked American tennis player is skipping the Beijing Olympics, choosing instead to focus on preparing for the U.S. Open by playing at the hard-court Legg Mason Tennis Classic.

“My goal every summer is to win the U.S. Open,” Roddick said in a statement released by Legg Mason organizers. “I have won the Legg Mason Tennis Classic three times and feel defending my title in Washington best prepares me for another Grand Slam title.”

Strike another blow for Taco, and stick a fork in Olympic tennis already.
