We don’t normally cover Tennis on here but I thought this was particularly interesting….

Andre Agassi is No. 1 — again. This time in the book publishing arena. Nine days after the debut of his explosive memoir “Open,” the book has claimed the top spot on the prestigious New York Times’ nonfiction best-sellers list, for the week beginning Sunday, Nov. 29. Agassi’s collaborator, Pulitzer Prize-winning author J.R. Moehringer, revealed the stunning news to Vegas Confidential on Wednesday night during dinner at Botero Restaurant at Encore

Did anyone happen to catch his interview on 60 Minutes a couple weeks ago? I won’t lie in saying it was one of the most boring celebrity interviews I’ve ever seen.  OK, great.  He did Meth.  And?

Look I understand him telling his story and I admire him for admitting all of this stuff but honestly it’s not that big a deal.  A biography would have been better and revealing his drug use would have been a good chapter.  Talking about his father would have been a good chapter.  His decline and then emergence at an older age is solid.

OK wait, that’s what the book is about.  Dammit but the interview was really boring!  Seriously though, the more pressing matter is how dumb Martina Navratalova, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal seem to me.  Comparing Agassi to Clemens?  Are you guys retarded?

Agassi was was not taking an enhancer.  If anything he was taking something that inhibited his game and made it much much worse.  How could you possibly equate this to Roger Clemens?  I don’t get it.  Let the guy tell his story, I just don’t happen to care all that much.

In any event I’m not buying this book.  I just like Steffi Graf’s blasts.
