This is a refreshing change. I don't follow tennis, but I am now officially an Andy Roddick fan.

Edit: and he's a cutie pie to boot.

Maybe some soccer dad's/mom's should be reading this one..

I'll second that. I refereed for my son's 4 and 5 yr old soccer team this year. I was amazed at how intense some of the parents and coaches are, even at that age level.

I hadn't thought about it until now, but I think my son learned a lesson from me being referee. After the first game he asked me why I was giving the other team high fives when they scored, but later he was helping the other kids up when they fell down. During one game he even told me I should blow the whistle because the ball had hit his hand.

He it to be applauded

The sports world needs more people like him that's for sure.



Can anyone imagine what it would have been like had it been John McEnroe

Nice to hear that kind of thing for a change

Also on the subject of good sportmanship:
Anyone catch the second half of the Piston/Sixers game the other night? On one shot attempt, Iverson came down hard on Lindsey Hunter's foot and came up limping. The Detroit crowd starting cheering because Iverson was hurt. At that point, Larry Brown went out to basically check and make sure Iverson could get to the sideline ok and he made a signal to the crowd to basically shut the he!! up and quit cheering because an opposing player got hurt. I guess it really wasn't that big of a deal, but I don't think every coach would do something like that. I just think it was a pretty classy move by Coach Brown. Everyone knows that he and AI didn't always see eye to eye when he was in Philly.

What a great example!!! I'l be showing my kids this article.

Also in the "classy guy" category (if a little late).... I hate the Yankees. I think they act like arrogant, overgrown babies (although I freely admit that this label can be applied to most major league ball-players these days). However, there's one guy on the team who I think is a class act. Joe Torre. While the rest of the Yankees sat in the dugout glumly watching the Red Sox receive their World Champion rings on opening day in Fenway Park, Joe Torre stepped up and tipped his cap to the guys who were the better team for a few days last October. That's a class act, in my book.

This kid ROCKS!!! Auntie gives him two phins up!!!

I lost respect for a lot of fans in Philly when they cheered Michael Irvin's career and almost life ending injury at the Vet.

A Scout is:

Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent


That about sums it up. Andy would make a good scout
