Not sure if we're going to be watching any tennis this weekend now that our favorite Kim Clijsters has been ousted. We watched the Federer vs. Nadal match yesterday, so that highlight of the tournament is also over with, and we're definitely not watching the two biggest squealers in the sport play. My ears are bleeding just thinking about that match.
Guess we'll have a nice relaxing weekend, watch some Netflix, DVR, and maybe go check out
Red Tails.
If you haven't yet, check out our
Most Anticipated Games Of 2012 articles. Personally, I'm most looking forward to Max Payne 3 and Ghost Recon.
