One Name Header Day continues as does the US Open. White people worship tennis and they live for the US Open. With every Grand Slam Event a new tennis hunk emerges that everyone in your office loves and recites random trivia about, and this year it’s Rafael Nadal. Credit Don King and Nike for coming up with the “Grapple in the Apple” :

Over three decades after promoting the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, the ‘Thrilla in Manila’, and ‘Ali-Frazier II’ at Madison Square Garden, ‘The Don’ is at it again, this time hired by Nike to trumpet the US Open tennis showdown between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, depicting them as boxing rivals to mirror Ali-Frazier. Only in America could we have the ‘Grapple In the Apple’. And Only Don King could give it his unique treatment.

King, speaking exclusively to The Daily Telegraph, revealed his “delight” at being called up to promote one of the greatest sporting rivalries on the planet. “You had the ‘Thrilla in Manila’, you had the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ now we have the ‘Grapple in the Apple’. We gonna take it to the moon. They try to pretend to be friends. But they’re no kin and they’re gonna bend. They got to be competitive.”

Nadal is a natural pick for housewives, gay dudes and straight dudes with waxed eyebrows and fake tans who talk about their “game” over Muscle Milk and free weights. Rafa is a latin hunk, he’s young and flamboyant, the type of dude that according to Ezra Martin “Hits on your girl while you’re in the bathroom taking a piss and then offers you a drink in exchange for her when you come back”. R-Fed is older, less easy on the eyes and I think most people think he’s French, sucks to be him.

I don’t dig looking at “Rafa“, I actually think he’s a bootleg version of Med Agency Alum Aaron Stuart of Piebald. Here’s a pic to prove it (Stuart is on the far left) :

Stuey is a way cooler dude, was pictured on the cover of the New York Times before Rafa (as blogged by Ray Lemoine on Med Agency, link here ), is a biofuel master and is from the Merrimack Valley so I’m giving him a glowing endorsement. I’d rather see every magazine have a picture of Aaron, maybe we can turn Aaron into a Green Hunk, it would raise awareness for alternative fuel sources and get douchey Nadal out of our faces immediately, sounds like a win/win.
