    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

    His career plummeted as a result of his meth addiction not soared. I can't understand why those tennis players are acting like he took a performance enhancing drug? I mean are they really that stupid? I would like some steroid testing to go on in tennis , let me remember the players who oppose it oh yeah Navratilova, Serena and Amelie Mauresmo. I would have distanced myself from Agassi too, but that would have happened when he had his brother running around Paris for some glue for that horrible weave of his. #andreagassi

    Sportswriters at the Philly Inquirer meanwhile don't have to make predictions. The advertising department has it covered, as today's Macy's ad shows.

    The Times did a story a few years ago about trying to find the line between Yankee and Red Sox country. It kind of meanders through Connecticut, they decided.
