If his team loses a game, he will exchange two of the two-dollar bills for a fresh set. If his team loses two games in a row, he will replace all four bills.

1. Lil' Wayne: Wayne Odesnik may have pleaded guilty to bringing human growth hormone into Australia. But that didn't stop him from entering the U.S. Clay Court event in Houston. And as the ITF continues its proceedings, Odesnik turned in one of the better results of his career, reaching the semifinal. While you have to commend the guy for his tennis, his powers of compartmentalization, and his sheer chutzpah -- think there may have been some awkwardness in the locker room? -- his decorum leaves something to be desired.

You do a huge disservice to the tournament, taking the attention away from the tennis making anti-doping protocol the story of the week.

Autographed jerseys of Tar Heels past hang from the ceiling, and hundreds of pictures of dignified patrons serve as a sort of nostalgic wallpaper print. Current Carolina point guard Tywon Lawson occupies one of the swivel chairs at the counter, sitting over a vanilla shake and engaging in an activity that's just about the antithesis of retro: He's showing off a Lil' Wayne YouTube that he has queued up on his iPhone.
