Serena craves more than medals; Janko shows off; Roger's still regal

Hope you're enjoying these Olympic Games out of London, Spin Nation. Now enjoy these morsels from around the grounds at Wimbledon and beyond.

CONSTANT CRAVING: Once upon a time—let's say June 2008—I backpacked through Europe with two university chums, relishing in my virgin voyage to that continent. Among the stops: London, Paris, Rome, and Vatican City. Yes, some of the obvious or major spots. In any case, on the final night of our two-week European vacation, my friends and I reached a quandary: To eat at McDonald's in London's Picadilly Circus or not? We had eaten local and fresh over the fortnight to date, and yet our bellies yearned for that old-fashioned, bazillions-served quasi-burger. The question that I posed to them: "Is it a better story to say that we wielded self-control to the very end, or to say that we caved?" Ultimately, we caved.

All that to say this: Should she win a medal, Serena Williams knows what she wants when this Olympic tennis event is over, and it's a filet-o-fish at McDisease:

GOD BLESS JANKO: It's hardly a first for him, but from his Olympic digs, Janko Tipsarevic regaled his Facebook fans with footage of him playing a game of charades with Viktor Troicki and others from the Serbian national team. Oh, and did we mention that he performed this in his knickers? You're welcome, dear reader.

FED SEEING RED: As greatness is never tiresome, here's a 24-minute clip of Roger Federer's highlights from that wee Wimbledon tournament played not long before these Games:

Fed's form has held well into these Olympics since claiming that Wimbledon crown and assuming the No. 1 ranking again. Julien Benneteau gave him trouble a month ago at SW19, and would have won were it a best-of-three-sets bout, but Federer has dispatched that Frenchman and more foes already at the All England Club this time around.

TENNIS ASIDE: You simply must see this Kristen Wiig-esque video clip of U.S. gymnast Aly Raisman's mother writhing around in anxious agony while her daughter performs a routine. Too bad that the SNL funnywoman just departed the show in May, as that is ripe for parody, or maybe trumps any parody possible, as it is real life.

Seriously, Olympians' parents should all have TUMS endorsements.
