MURRAY RESTORES HOME PRIDE: Sporting Life

MURRAY RESTORES HOME PRIDE: Sporting Life> --

Before Wimbledon started you could probably have gotten pretty good odds from Ladbrokes that Andy Murray would be the last British player remaining in the main draw at Wimbledon. He wakes up tomorrow, still 18 years old, but now carrying all the baggage that Henman has been shouldering on behalf of AELTC nation for a decade.

Beating a top 16 seed today, Murray has yet to lose a set in the main draw at Wimbledon. And you thought "Wimbledon The Movie" was an unlikely Hollywood fantasy. What I love about sports is the absolutely unpredictable nature of it. Nothing Disney could concoct ever stands a chance of being as unlikely and inspiring as the triumphs we see on sport's grandest stages.

And with that, I'm off to watch the Pistons try to do the impossible--win their second game on the road to take the NBA title. Wanna bet?
