Observer.com Enjoys Tennis, Tennis WAGS, Slideshows

The New York Observer is falling into chaos or devolving into a sh*tstorm. But that won’t stop the pink paper from jumping on the “oh boy, we need a US Open (now in 3D!) story” train.

John Koblin takes a break from killing the media beat to pen a solid profile of Rafael Nadal. He argues that New Yorkers should root for the hyper-athletic Spaniard even though he’s never taken to Gotham because (simplified) Roger Federer is old, Andy Roddick is bad, and, as commentator Mary Carillo explains, “In a way, he’s [Jimmy] Connors-like.” Those reasons are well and good and valid.

Sporting News LogoYahoo! Sports has the exclusive rights to syndicate Sporting News Feed, and will likely become a major traffic driver for the revamped site.

Nationwide Insurance has signed on as the launch sponsor of the new site.
