I hope you have read the Open. If not, I'd strongly recommend it to a long time Agassi fan.

Hi Tim,

Am not too sure if you follow cricket. I have tried to put the cricketer under the knife in my latest.

Please give it a read if interested. Any feedback is much appreciated :)

Ha! Ha!

What can you do? Ya win some and loss some, I guess....

I once alienated an entire city (purposefully) and garnered supreme hate mail:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/226721-philadelphia-sports-fans-are-scumbags


Just to let you know, from reading your messages and getting a feel of your online demeanor, I don't think you are one of the fans I was mentioning in the above article....

Hope all is well!

Screw Bill Buxton!
