Why You Need to Join the Yahoo Group

ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO-nuff said! :)

So occassionally, I do indulge in non-tennis brieflines pics and when I do I like to share and post them to the yahoo group. As a matter of fact, I sent about six photos of Chelsea FC star, Andriy Shevchenko out to the members of the group (the one attached to this post was included). I won't post them on the geocities site, so the only way you'll get anything I send out that is not tennis related will be to join the group.

So do it already! lol

List of Players on Geocities Site

I thought it would be helpful (and incentivizing) if I included an exhaustive list of all the players currently on the geocities site. There are currently eighty nine players. Click the image above to see the entire list ordered in terms of players with the most pictures to the players with the least.

Paul Hanley

Good afternoon guys!

Paul Hanley of Australia was added to the brflines site. I only have one picture of him, which is attached to this post.

I'm hoping to post some other non-tennis pics to this blog later today, along with my push for the yahoo group. So keep a look out!

Roger Federer

Hello.

Today I uploaded seven pictures of Roger Federer's brieflines to the brflines site. One of the pictures included in the update is attached to this post. Several of the pictures are screen captures of Federer's aussie open matches by TZ.

TZ is a moderator/founder type of the yahoo group, brief lines. If you're a dude and are over eighteen years of age (18+) click on the link and join and bask in all the briefy goodness that comes to your mailbox almost every day. I know I do!

Have a safe Wednesday, boys.

Jan Vacek

Good morning, boys!

I added Jan Vacek to the brflines site this morning. I have no idea who he is, except that he's on the tour. His picture, like Kunitsyn's was buried away in a random subdirectory. The one picture I have of him is attached to this post.

Enjoy the update...i'm out!

Jan Vacek

I added a player named Jan Vacek to the geocities site this morning. I don't know anything about him, but had his picture in an overlooked subdirectory, just like Kunitsyn. The only photo I have of him is attached to this post.

Tim-uh

Today's photo update to the brflines site is to Tim Henman's page. Eleven photos were added brining the total number on his page to twenty seven (27). One of the eleven pictures included in the update is attached to this post.

I've always liked Tim Henman, but he never seemed to quite make it a final of a major, including the hometown tourney, the Championships at Wimbledon. Still, he was always a very gentlemanly player. He seemed to me the epitome of what a Briton is.

Enjoy the update!

New King of the Court?

Novak Djokovic has won the Aussie Open!

Congratulations to Nole. It's nice to see someone besides Federer or Nadal win a major. Hopefully his ascent to the zenith of the game as well as Tsonga's strong run to the final is a harbinger of a new ascendent order....

Igor Kunitsyn

So, I've had a couple pictures of Igor Kunitsyn in my hard drive forever, but I guess that I've always just skipped over the directory with them in it. He's part of a group of players that I had skipped over when I first created the brflines site because of the paucity of pictures of non-top ten-ranked players. I wanted to make sure that I got the big boys (Robredo, Nieminen, Gasquet) up first since I had so many pics of them.

So in the forthcoming days, you'll get more of those types of guys that have one or two pics and who are more obscure.

Enjoy the updates boys.

Julien Benneteau

Ooh la la! Frenchman Julien Benneteau's page on the brflines site was updated with four new pictures, one of which is attached to this post.

I really like searching for pictures of Julien. His photos usually yield a high percentage of briefline pics in proportion to total pics since he wears white shorts a lot.

Enjoy guys!

Holy Nole!

CONGRATULATIONS to Novak Djokovic, one of my personal favorites who frequently has brieflines on display. He beat superstud Roger Federer to reach the Aussie Open Finals!

I've added a poll for you guys to vote on who you think will win the Aussie Open on the right navigation bar. Try your luck and vote!

Mischa Zverev

While I had a moment to do so, I thought I'd update the site quickly with a new player, Mischa Zverev of Germany. The only briefline photo I have of him is attached to this post.

Enjoy guys!

David Beckham and the Hiatus

So, due to circumstances in my personal life, I took a minor hiatus to the blog and brflines site and basically passively collected brieflines pics. Fortunately, because the first major slam is currently underway (the Australian Open) briefline pics of tennis players have been rather easy to come by.

I will return to the site shortly as soon as I gain traction with my job, etc. In the meantime, if you need a fix of brieflines everyday, join the yahoo group. I sent about ten email messages to the group today with my finds, including non-tennis photos (like the ones above of David Beckham).

Thanks for voting in the poll and leaving feedback, it really does mean a lot to me!

Jonas Bjorkman

Today's update to the brflines website is Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden. Three pictures were added to his page on the geocities site. One of those pictures added to his page is attached to this post above.

Enjoy boys!

Andy Murray

Scotsman Andy Murray was added to the brflines site this morning. One of the three photos that are on the page dedicated to him has been attached to this post.

Andy's quickly risen through the tour to situate himself in the top ten. Best of luck to him in the Aussie Open!

To Rafa or Not?

One of the glaring omissions to the brieflines site is Rafael Nadal. He wears really tiny underwear and white man-pris all the time :0).

But I have to admit, I’m not a fan. I don’t find him the least bit attractive so I've refrained from adding him, though I've received many photos from the Y! Group (which you should join). On the other hand, I do feel a need to respond to the several requests to add him in my guestbook.

So, I’ll open it up to the general readership of this blog. I’ve put a poll in the right navigation bar that you can use to have your voice heard! The poll will close in one week.

Let me know boys!

Super Mario (Ancic)

Five pictures were added to the Mario Ancic page of the brflines website. One of the pictures included in the update is attached to this post.

Tall and gangly, Mario always obliges with out of the world brieflines. Some of the images I use for navigation buttons and banners are, in fact, images of Mario's brieflines.

Sadly, he was injured for the latter part of the 2007 season, so he didn't provide as many brieflines as healthier players, like Novak Djokovic. Hopefully he's healed up for the '08 season and continues to wear colored briefs and white shorts.

Still #1

I recently questioned why I maintain the brflines site and this blog after I received some communication criticizing it. Then I chatted with a really nice guy from Canada who reignited my interest in maintaining both. Thanks, Mike.

Anyway, the geocities site now has over seven hundred pictures (716 to be exact), about a hundred more then the last update on the site's content. Tommy Robredo still reigns supreme with ninety photos of his sweet brieflines. As evidenced by the picture above, you can see why Tommy reigns supreme! The other members of the top ten remain the same, with a little variance in the order. They are as follows

1. Tommy Robredo (90 photos)
2. Novak Djokovic (66 photos)
3. Richard Gasquet (58 photos)
4. Fernando Verdasco (40 photos)
5. Jarkko Nieminen (35 photos)
6. Frank Dancevic (28 photos)
7. Mario Ancic (23 photos)
8 tie. Lleyton Hewitt (22 photos)
8 tie. Andy Roddick (22 photos)
10. Marat Safin (19 photos)

Also, my weekly plug for the yahoo group. Join it already!

Juan Ignacio Chela

A page was added to the brflines site for Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina.

I don't know a lot about senor Chela, but I remember watching a special on a female tennis player on the Tennis Channel and Juan Ignacio worked out at the same gym as her. I remember thinking about how thin he was and how he would be able to play with more built players like Ginepri.

Three pics are on the page, one of which is attached to this post. Enjoy!

Dmitry Tursunov

Four photos of Dmitry Tursunov were added to the brflines site this morning. I hope you guys enjoy them!
