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.
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard that Dolphins running back and fantasy football stud Ronnie Brown is out for the season:
MIAMI — Ronnie Brown’s season has ended with an injury – again.
The Miami Dolphins’ leading rusher was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of a right foot injury suffered in Sunday’s victory over Tampa Bay.
A fifth-year pro, Brown missed the final nine games of the 2007 season with a right knee injury.
As a Brown owner, I was disappointed by the news, but I didn’t even flinch when I heard it. I’m used to this kind of shitty luck when it comes to fantasy football. And if you’ve played long enough, I’m sure you are, too. Injuries are just one of the two main reasons that fantasy football sucks. Because of the nature of the sport, there’s absolutely no telling which players will get hurt or stay healthy, and injuries that sideline a player for weeks can absolutely cripple a fantasy squad. Simply put, it’s just good luck if your best players stay healthy. The other reason fantasy football sucks – also related to luck – is that you’ll play against a guy whose tight end scores four touchdowns all year…but three of them come in the same game during the week you happen to be playing against him. It’s all horseshit, and you’re better off gambling in a dice game – it’s more or less the same thing.
Every year I swear off fantasy football since I know I largely have zero control over what happens with my team over the season. After the draft, it’s simply luck, luck, luck. Fantasy baseball requires careful daily management, smart drafting, and shrewd waiver wire activity, but fantasy football is closer to picking a number 1 through 10. I dropped all of my leagues except one this year, and of course I have Ronnie Brown. Oh, and do you know who else I have at running back? Michael Turner. I fucking hate fantasy football.
| Former Buckeye Raymont Harris models Ohio State’s uniform for the Michigan game |
This Saturday the Ohio State Buckeyes will take on the Michigan Wolverines for another round of one of the most storied rivals in the history of sports. The problem being that Michigan has been tossed around like a rag-doll throughout the Tressel era and the Wolverines are facing their second losing season in a row.
So how do you spice things up a bit in an otherwise dull affair? Throwback jerseys! Perfect to buy your loved ones for the holiday season.
Despite Michigan’s turd-tastic year and Ohio State in the top ten (as per usual), I still think it’ll be a better game than everyone thinks. But even more exciting now that Buckeye fans have more crap to buy.

Look, there’s no chance that Alex Rodriguez has a picture of himself as a centaur in his home. One, we would have known about it a long time ago considering the media pisses themselves any time this guy takes a shit, and two, like, give me a fucking break. Do people actually believe this? I know it’s fun to joke about what a nancy egomaniac A-Rod is, but at least make the rumors believable. A centaur picture is something Michael Jackson would have done.
Anyway, in the above clip someone asks Kate Hudson about the centaur picture, and even goes so far as to to show her a photoshopped pic of A-Rod as – what else – a centaur. Kate doesn’t seem to think it’s very funny. I think she learned the word “indulge” a few days ago based on how much she seems to enjoy saying it.
In an attempt to justify his ridiculous question, the entertainment reporter (can you think of a sleazier, more worthless type of person?) cites Us Weekly as his source. Us Weekly, the single most retarded magazine to ever be published. Why people read about what celebrities wear to the store I’ll never understand. I could spray diarrhea all over a sheet of paper and it’d instantly have more literary value than Us Weekly.
Ah yes, things seem to be brewing for the ever so crappy Buffalo Bills. They are quickly on the move to find a new hired gun. The latest? Mike Shanahan.
The Mike Shanahan-to-Buffalo movement is gaining momentum. NFL.com has seconded an ESPN story that reported Bills owner Ralph Wilson is pursuing the former Broncos coach to replace Dick Jauron.
NFL.com’s Vic Carucci reported that Wilson will likely meet with Shanahan next week. Carucci spoke with an NFL insider who said Wilson, 91, might make a big push to hire a proven winner.
You know what? I admit it. I’m starved for some kind of news involving Terrell Owens. Can we get some please? What the hell is going on here? Has the guy just given up on attention or is he just a weirdo? I’m going with a little bit of both.
In any event. I could definitely see Shanahan running the Bills. They have a decent backfield and we all know sir Shan loves to run the ball. However can a guy like Fitzpatrick flourish up there in Suny Buff? I don’t know man. That’s a huge question mark. But with Terrell and Evans, there’s gotta be some hope no?
Well I for one would love to have Shanahan in the league so that we can brew up some more Shanahan teeth photos. Is this guy serious? Here are a few you might enjoy

Do I think LeBron’s comments about playing in the NFL were made in jest? Absolutely. But like everyone else in the media, blogosphere world, I’m going to milk it for all it’s worth. That and I love seeing people get riled up over nothing.
While making these half-serious comments, it was noted to LeBron that he could play a year of college football to test the waters, since he never went to college. Of course that’d mean he’d have to give up his $90 million Nike contract, but that’s the beauty of hypotheticals! So easy to just make shit up.
Here are the five college football teams I think LeBron would consider playing for.
Jeremy Shockey is taking this nonsensical “Lebron playing for the Browns” thing way too seriously. From his Twitter:
everyone trust me Lebron James could not play in the NFL! espn is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. hes a 4.9 40 time
I can’t believe Shockey has taken the time to address this ridiculous media creation. Of course Lebron James isn’t going to play football, and it’s insane to think that he might based upon a couple of casual, half-serious comments. Part of me thinks that aside from Shockey not being able to recognize concepts like tongue-in-cheek, there’s also a part of him that’s threatened by Lebron. Because let’s face it…if Lebron wanted to, yes, he’d be an awesome NFL player. Stick him at tight end or defensive end and he’d dominate.
Basketball players have made the transition to football pretty easily. Two of the best tight ends of all time – Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez – started off playing basketball, and neither of them is 1/100th as athletic as Lebron James. The fact is that Lebron James is the sickest, most gifted athlete in the world and he’s going to dominate just about any sport he plays. If he put his mind and heart into it, he could be an NFL player. And he’d be a lot better than Shockey.
Also, a 4.9 40 time? Where did this come from? And are we really using Lebron’s 40 time to say whether or not he’d be good in the NFL? Maybe my knowledge of the generally useless combine scores is a bit poor, but isn’t 4.9 pretty good for a guy who is 6’8″ and 250 lbs? At any rate, I think my favorite part of Shockey’s tweet is “everyone trust me.” You can tell how fed up he is with all the Lebron talk. What an asshole.
