Roger GoodellIt's good to be Roger Goodell these days.

Cities bend over backward to build stadiums for the NFL commissioner's teams, usually on their own dime. Television networks back up armored trucks to the league's Park Avenue headquarters for the rights to carry games. And loving fans stream through those stadium turnstiles in droves to enjoy the NFL experience.

It sounds pretty good for King Roger. Or does it? The third part of that equation, the part where rabid fans pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, tens of dollars to park, exorbitant prices for concession products all to sit in hot temperatures in September and in freezing conditions in December often next to foul-mouthed drunks isn't quite so appealing to a growing number of people.

Apparently more and more folks in NFL cities are weighing the prospect of watching games at bars, or on their cell phones, or just in the comfort of their living rooms against the "privilege" of taking in an oh-so-special Detroit-Buffalo November clash from the splendor of Ralph Wilson Stadium and saying, to paraphrase Eric Cartman, "Screw you guys, I'm staying home."

Rafael NadalNEW YORK -- We all tinker. Tennis players try to stand in a new spot to return serve, or to go through a new routine before a toss. Golfers are notorious for tinkering, their search for the magic nugget. Usually, it just turns them into Nervous Nellies.
And whatever we find usually lasts, what, four weeks?

"Sunday,'' Toni Nadal said.

Sunday?

"Yes Sunday, the day before the tournament.''

That's when Rafael Nadal changed the grip on his serve, under the guidance of his coach, Uncle Toni. And just like that, it has made for the most amazing transformation. Just a week and a half ago, Nadal slid his hand over a little on his racket handle, and as a result, he now has one of the biggest serves on tour.

A few weeks ago, he played in Cincinnati in hot weather on fast courts, perfect conditions for power. But he was not serving like this.

Rafael Nadal has found the Holy Grail. A weekend-warrior didn't find it. Not you. Not me, of course. Rafael Nadal, the best player in the world.

Snap, just like that, he has reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open without losing a set. Without losing his serve. Not once.
