Steve Irwin - This is a real tragedy, but not unexpected. Steve pushed the envelope and his infectious personality will be sorely missed. We sure hate to bid farewell to The Crocodile Hunter.
Andre Agassi - Thanks for all the years and entertainment watching you play ! In 1992 Andre won the Wimbledon Open, I watched every single match that was TV that year. No, I am not the biggest Tennis fan, but I was laid up in the hospital while recovering from a Heart Attack in the middle of doing Chemotherapy, and it was the best choice on the [...]
The Road Not Taken
Im getting ready and excited about my USA trip. Preparing my talk for next Wednesday at The Society of Illustrators I came upon this portrait which together with Nancy Stahl's post reminded me of my days in NY in which I was quite addicted to watching the US Open and even got to go a couple of times to watch matches live, including one of the last Jimmy Connors years in the circuit. This is the late eighties. When Connors was keeping the fans up the whole night and Andre Agassi suddenly arrived

Mardy Fish or Mardy Blake?
Michael Barkann, the USA Network reporter for the US Open, is basically famous for his 1992 interview with Barbra Streisand when she called Andre Agassi a “Zen master.” Barkmann continues to get entertaining interviews at the US Open, while having his fair share of embarrassing moments. Last night Barkann interviewed Mardy Fish as he was entering the court and said, “Good luck Mardy Blake”, confusing Mardy Fish and James Blake. I don’t see any resemblance, but maybe it’s just me…
Good-Bye Peach Tree
Lat night after dinner I walked the dogs and all was right in the world. The dogs were good, the sun was setting in pretty pinks and blues. Yes, it was a nice night. We watched a little of the tennis from New York, marveling at the expertise of the competetors, and commenting also on how we miss the likes of Steffi Graff, Andre Agassi, Stan Smith and Rod Laver. Today’s players are great, but we do miss our old favorites. At 9:30 I got all the dogs together for their last wee-wee of the night.
The Crackle Recommends
Here are some more things I like. Check them out. We’ve done it before. It’s an idea stolen with love from McSweeney’s. The US Open: It’s a great time for sports fans. Pennant races are heating up, the NFL season is kicking off, and the most exciting tournament in tennis is being played in Queens. Wimbledon has the history, but there is nothing better than a tense late night five setter at Arthur Ashe Stadium. From James Blake to Andre Agassi to Jimmy Connors, The US Open consistently br
