Today's the Day to See a Tennis Player Naked

Hold on a second here.. An exclusive Ben Stiller interview? I’m now interested..

npcPronk29 – the cover says “elusive Ben Stiller” not exclusive, though I didn’t realize there was writing on the cover til you brought it up

Come on now, we all read it for the articles, and the tits.

Schwing!

I’m off to the bookstore, talk to you guys later

Mr. Mottram, perhaps work on being less judgemental, and more of an actual writer. I don’t care what you think about what she’s doing. I clicked on this looking for an informational article about what was taking place, not some rant about your dislike for tasteful or distasteful pornography.

For the most part, your writings and articles aren’t very good anyway, but this warranted a response. Get a clue.

Applause!

Elusive?!

I can’t read that1

ELUSIVE? Since when is he Elusive!?

I’m now no longer interested..

Mr. Socialhockey, thank you for taking a sarcastic blog post about Playboy so seriously. Clearly, you have an outstanding sense of humor. I’m sorry my pesky opinions and jokes got in the way of what should’ve been an otherwise serious news story about a tennis player posing nude.

Is chris Mottram a woman?

I guess I’ll wait until the Sherapova issue hits the stands before I get excited.

Ashley Harkleroad > Sharapova

Nothing says ‘class’ like being marinated in baby oil, stuffed in a doily bottom, draped with a common dishtowel and having your picture appear right next to the words “Naked Susie Feldman Perks Up The Two Coreys.” Alert the Royal Family and have Daddy Harkleroad wire that dowry, stat!

This chick is not even hot. Please get Anna Kournikova in Playboy. Thank you.

Don’t like Playboy? Don’t read it.

My pleasure Mr. Mottram. If THAT was your attempt at sarcasm, you needed a good talking to anyway. Happy to help. Nothing sarcastic about directing a statement at someone, saying that the only destination of their cover on Playboy would be the basement bathroom of a frat house.

Zoik, this chick is not hot? You have some very high standards my friend.

Thanks for the “talking to,” grandpa, even though I’m not sure you understand what “sarcasm” means based on your comments.

Sigh…oh to be young again and be able to afford to buy Playboy if I wanted to.

I’ll just wait a couple of minutes and I’m sure the pics will be online all over the gossip websites.

And does anyone else find it a bit creepy that her BOYFRIEND helped negotiate the deal that put her on display internationally?

Hey now, don’t go getting all defensive on me. You all open yourself up for criticism with these comments pages, so if anything, I’m doing you a favor. Now you know that your brand of sarcasm doesn’t mesh well with your old world views on tasteful pornography being classless. That is, after all, why I’m here. Clearly I am the defender of all things tastefully pornographic. But you can still call me grandpa. You do get extra points for firing back at my comments though. I’ll keep reading your articles simply because I’ve enjoyed this exchange.

As a woman, I’m never really sure how I feel about this kind of “exposure”.

One thing I AM sure of though is that I’d really prefer NOT to have to read about how “no one takes her tennis career seriously” anytime down the road.

DAMN!!!

I thought y’all were talking about Sharapova!!!:roll::wink::lol:

TTYL,

Too bad it wasn’t Hustler…. “God damn, she took that raquet all the way up to the ‘N’ in Spaulding.”

Mottram said, “If I enjoy being in front of the camera (which clearly I do), does that mean I have to pose naked at some point”

My guess is if you do, that those few who would be interested in seeing a nudie picture of you, would feel like those who click on “The SPORTING blog” to read about sports…ripped off

That was comedy!

We can now say ass? By the way, sarcasm isn’t comedy, it is bitterness. Bitterness from you is traced back to the nudie picture of you…that was comedy too.

I will never understand why SN pays for writers, when the members know more about sports, more about comedy and more about writing an interesting story. Even worse, you get the 2.0 version of the Sporting Blog, while the rest of us are waiting on it.

Not to worry Jane, no one takes Mottram’s career seriously. We just come here to heckle him.

Oh hell no, why am I censored when I say a_ss, but Mottram isn’t?

Because it needs to be entered as @$$ or something similar, perhaps?!!:?

Nevermind… I’ll take this quesion to the 19th hole… Or, heck, I guess I could ask it here?!!:?

Was Miss Harkleroad sh@ved or bushy?!! :shock:

Just curious…

R.S.V.P.

This girl just needed the money. If somebody asks you to pose nude…and the money is sufficient…posing for a photograph…is nothing! (have you gone to the beach lately…and all that is free!!)

I do a lot of cursing here… if you write the swear out and spell it correctly, it will automatically remove itself and be replaced with “expletive deleted.” Chris or Shrages have little to do with it, although I suppose they can censor the more big-ticket items themselves if need be.The key to “swearing” here is to use a symbol in place of the letter, like th*s. Also, “@” and the double “s” is common enough that the filter is programmed to spot it, but I doubt that someone programmed in something like “pvssy” or anything of that ilk.

I was talking about the last line of the blog, where the word ss appears without any symbols used. I had noticed that another member or two had been posting the word dumbass, and was wondering if they were removing the censors, like with hell and damn. By the way if it blocks that other word out it is just dumbss which the news section censors aren’t blocking.

did anyone report your blog for having a pic of a woman that was half naked?

it seems like some SN member bloggers were attacked for putting up pics just like the one I see here…

Double standards???

any way, Thumbs up for you!

It’s not anything more than you’d see at your local swimming pool …

I wish I saw that at my local swimming pool.

Sorry, Dan. Airbrushing only happens in Hollywood.

funny how a pic of a 1/2 naked girl can be posted here, put when similar pics are put up by the non "pro" bloggers, there is an outrage

Sorry, Spike. I don’t make the rules, man. I was told I could post this image, so I did. If it was up to me, you could post all the Playboy images you want.

She’s flat – but cute – I’ll stick with the chesty variety!   :)

are those high heeled tennis shoes?

Are those high heeled tennis shoes?

Serena Williams not available?

I’ll buy that for a dollar…

Dear Mr. Mottram,
I am sorry for the name but until today I have not gotten your quirky sense of sarcasm. However, looking over the article and your explanation I relialized that you are not retarded, but just have an extremely dry sense of humor. And yes, the article was quite hilarious from your perspective. Therefore, I hope you accept the apology above,
I.Q.

Great line:

"WHY!? – does every woman who takes off her clothes for Playboy
insist on telling us how “classy” the whole operation is? Your nude
photos will inevitably end up in one place: Next to the toilet in the
basement of a frat house. I assure you, there is nothing classy about
that. Except for the summer and splash scented Febreze that rests right
next to your ass."

I happen to think she is a cute young lady.  She is right, Playboy is not a smutty magazine at all.  After all there are alot of eductional articles in it.  She just wanted some national attention nothing wrong with that. 

In a tough economy you must use all your assets to make money. Those that are against her posing, don’t buy the magazine.

I never heard of Ashley Harkleroad before reading this article.  She probably doesn’t win tennis tournaments like Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and Maria Sharapova.  Harkleroad is trying to make herself relevant so she’s posing nude for Playboy.  Any mediocre female athlete that doesn’t get run on Sportscenter and then poses for Playboy doesn’t surprise me in the least.  Congrats on going into softcore porn Ashley!  I hope you’re truly proud of yourself!!
