It is amazing. Watch the video.

Andy Roddick Shaved Head Picture

I think I am going to have to change the Open Press Room to the Roddick Press Room. Poor Andy is at it again. He shaved his head prior to his last tournament.

Not sure what is going on with him, but Andy seems like he is having some issues. Now to compound the problems, he lost to his friend Mardy Fish at the Atlanta Tennis Championships yesterday.

Hopefully he can get it together before the US Open.

We are pulling for you Andy.

Any Roddick Fighting to Hit a Backhand

I have often wondered why Andy Roddick is so hated. After reading online blog and article posts, the vast majority are commenter’s teeing off on Roddick. They are often personally offensive.

Here is my top list of why I believe Andy is so hated:
1. He married a hot Sports Illustrated model and you never will.
2. He is a good looking successful tennis player.
3. He never fulfilled his purported potential. The US wanted another top ranked player such as Sampras.
4. He has occasional temper tantrums.

My personal opinion is that Andy is a hard working respectful guy who deserves all the good he has gotten in life. He did not ask to be America’s great white hope. He is just a regular guy trying to win tennis matches. He is always overly respectful to the other players he plays after the matches.

What do you think?

Cyclists Taking Over A1A in South Florida

Today I was driving through A1A in the Delray Beach area and was blocked by a group a cyclists completely hogging the roadways. These guys all dressed up like Lance Armstrong and think they are in the Tour De France.

They are supposed to be one abreast in their bike lane, but feel that they deserve to take over 1/2 of the driving lane from cars.

I visit the beach weekly and drive up A1A. It has come to the point where every time I travel up this road on a weekend I am in some scary situations. Old people driving cars almost striking bikers or cars in the oncoming lanes.

The police (Delray Beach Police, Boca Raton Police), do not seem to care about this issue as they just cross to the other lane, over the double yellow line, to pass these bikers. Then they move through.

I am so surprised that more people in these big SUV’s down here do not run them over.

Watching the world cup round of 16 so far, it looks like Brazil and Argentina are on a collision course for the finals. Diego Armando Maradona is pulling it off.

This is 1986 all over again with Maradona running the show at the World Cup.

If Brazil does meet Argentina in the finals, my pick is Argentina. Messi and company have what it takes to be champions.

The University of Connecticut basketball team (Uconn Huskies) lost in their first game of the Big East conference last night. The final score was 127 – 117. Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse Orangemen once again stepped up in the important game and figured out a way to win.

This was one of the most exciting games I have ever seen and will go down in my memory as such. This was also the longest game in Big East Basketball history.

History aside, I would like to congratulate Jim Boeheim and his team for keeping the composure, even with losing 7 players to fouls. This turned out being smart tactic as the Uconn Huskies have always been known to be a poor foul throw shooting team.

This was also a disheartening loss for me as I have been a major Uconn Huskie and Jim Calhoun fan since the early 90′s. It just seems like the better the team gets every year, the more they are choking at the end of the games. If memory serves me, I do not believe Uconn has won a game in the Big East Conference and Madison Square Gardens in 3 years running.

Does Uconn still deserve a number 1 seed in the tournament? It breaks my heart to say no, they do not.

Marion Bartoli is a Frenchwoman who was seeded 18th and is only 22 years old. Henin was our top pick and we were looking past Bartoli to the next Williams matchup against Venus.

Let’s hope Venus doesn’t just crush her in the finals.

Who else feels a little bit uncomfortable watching Raphael Nadal play tennis with him wearing those capri pants?

Maybe it is a European thing and I should let it slide. The guy is definitely a good tennis player (consistently ranked #2 by ATP), but please Raphael, get with the program. You have worn those pants for a number of years and no one is mimicking you on either the tennis court on in real life.

While watching Wimbledon I was looking for stadium shots of Camille Neviere. Is she still dating Marcos Baghdatis?

For those of you unfamiliar with Camille Neviere, she is the model girlfriend of Baghdatis.

Marcos lost in the quarter finals and was easily outmatched by Rafael Nadal. Too bad Baghdatis didn’t win, we would love to find more pictures of his girlfriend Camille online.

All of the websites we found are just supplying old pictures. We have a nice picture of Camille below in a bikini.
