Serena Williams Unveils Yet Another Horrible Outfit

ESPN Magazine ranks the University of Tennessee No. 6. However, in its preview of the team, there's not even a hint that 12 UT players have been arrested since the end of last season... so typical of the obnoxious, biased, hype machine that is ESPN. One day a bomb will drop on Bristol and after the nuclear fallout, I'll journey to Connecticut to do the Dance of Joy on the ruins.

I read this morning that Serena Williams is unveiling yet another creepy outfit that will be worn during the US Open. Nicknamed "The Diva" in the USTA's incredibly annoying marketing campaign [and what the hell is that campaign? It Girl, Goddess, Rocketman. Thanks USTA. I want to watch tennis even less now], she'll be wearing a purple and white tennis dress that boasts a plunging neckline and a transparent, pleated purple skirt. "It is see-through," Serena told The Post, "so I'll have to get some shorts under there." Then why have it at all? Why not wear those ass shorts that volleyball players wear? Or just go back to that freaky dominatrix/booty short business that frightened the masses last year?

My question is this -- Am I the only one that wonders if Serena feels like a dumbass when she goes down in flames looking like the Gimp from Pulp Fiction? Look at the picture in the middle! She looks like a Jamaican holiday. Is there not a point where Serena says to herself, "Bloody Christ, as if the humiliation of losing isn't enough.. I ALSO look like Wolverine today."


Come Serena. You've got to get it together.
