Smithhimself was at The Game on the Yale side. A cheerful day with the usual drinking that continued at the Elizabethan Club. Compared to watching Nebraska or Florida play football, the Ivy League is really... well, it's high school level sports activity. But the sky was blue, my shirt was blue and, yes, a good time was had by all.

I would say that one aspect of the contest is not false. I truly do believe that Harvard is a vile institution.

The game is stupid; however, visiting spectators are pretty much guaranteed to be drunk and laid by the end of the day, so.

Did either team ever have a quarterback named Sonny Sixkiller? No? I didn't think so.

And on that fabled 1968 team...

I love TLJ. I still hate Harvard, though.

I never understood the level of pride these schools have in their shitty football. Especially when you can go to Stanford, where the Heisman candidate trying to lead the school to the Rose Bowl is a Management Science and Engineering major who plans on getting a JD/MBA. Everyone at The Game deserves a good noogie.

I do believe that's the first direct address comma I've ever seen in a tweet. It kind of takes the sting out of the fuck you.

My husband is at the game w/two of the three wild ones. His brother played football @ Yale in the mid 80's. Family tradition to attend this game.

Harvard fans are like Red Sox fans. That isn't a compliment. Then again, Yale produced Bush.

Political aspirations be damned!

Met fans are Met fans. Yankee fans are Yankee fans. My father watched the Yankees when there was absolutely no other baseball on television. Although we lived within spitting distance of the stadium (and I use "spitting" because I'm sure that's what he did when he walked by it), the family never went to a game. We traveled to Queens to see the Mets, by subway I might add.

He hated the Yankees. I mean, HATED the Yankees. All because the team dragged their feet on integration. They were the second to last MLB team to integrate, just before the much hated Boston Red Sox.

Now, if only these politicians stick to important convictions when they are elected, the world would be a better place. #congress

@afterabe: There's a difference between being a fan of a team and being a dick about another team's good fortune. He wasn't being asked to give BJs to the entirety of the Yankees, they just asked him to sign a "Congratulations" letter, basically. It's just kind of a sad move. I mean, do you think every president wants and likes the players of every winning sports team? I mean, my god, can you imagine trying to have a conversation with Ben Roethlisberger? No, of course not, because that would be horrible, but they still invite them over or make a "Nice job!" phone call when teams win anyway.

Thankfully no one will remember this in the future because who cares if a baseball fan (especially Mets fans, these days) acts like a big prick? That is called "Tuesday" so whatever. #congress

Anyone who appears on 60 Minutes has to know the Don Hewitt techniques by now. You're just asking for tight face shots and shitty questions designed to evolke said emotions. I like Andre. Katie makes my flesh shudder.

Many people have had their little demons to deal with, big fucking deal. I have, too. Get over it. This is the best you can come up with Katie for interview fodder?

Leave it to Couric to be slicey and dicey. Tell me she wasn't popping sedatives like M&M's when her husband died, let's do an in-depth interview on that one. This shitty reporting makes me gag...pure dreck and sensationalism by going for the jugular.

His old competitors/fellow pros who critically weighed in can eat shit, too. He does a lot of charity work, then and now, I think he deserves a bit of forgiveness and cheer.

Just one more thing...he's way sexy bald then with that colored, lion's mane mullet he used to sport.

Can I get a witness???? #andreagassi

@Kimrod: couric is one of the worst interviewers ever. she makes me cringe. i want to see her being interviewed after she finally writes a memoir when she's, say, 70...and then she'll have to really answer the questions. #andreagassi

Agassi had one of the most exhilarating comeback runs in the history of sports, seems to have a joyous family life with a fellow tennis champion, and continues to do indispensable charity work. it's called growing up. take notes, Gawker. #andreagassi
