Bud Collins blasts "U.S. priorities"
Wow.
76-year old tennis hall of fame inductee Bud Collins was just on "Mike and the Mad Dog" show on the local sports talk radio station. "Mad Dog" was asking him about Serena Williams (Bud was generally supportive of her and Venus's interest in things outside of tennis, but was disappointed they didn't want to remain champions), and then Dog (Chris Russo) brought up a report that Serena was wearing a pair of $40 thousand ear rings on the court at the U.S. Open this year. I wasn't listening all that closely, but Russo said something about wasting money on crazy things, and I think I heard Bud shoot back, "We're spending $6 billion a month on a crazy war." That blew past Chris, who replied, "I dunno, misplaced priorities, or something." And Bud's retort was (I know I heard this), "We're a nation of misplaced priorities."
Bud must be French, or somethin'.
