Bye Andre

Any tennis fans watch Andre's farewell? I might just be a pussy, but it had me misty-eyed.

Perhaps I'm being overly dramatic, but Andre epitomizes so much about what professional athletes should be. Hell, he epitomizes what a human being should be. I can't think of too many people in this world that are as deserving of hero-worship as Andre. He is selfless, appreciative and dedicated. Man, in a world where so much of professional sports are preoccupied with contracts and salaries and sponsorships and performance-enhancing drugs... here we have Andre doing his thing for over 20 years, showing us how it's meant to be. Sure, his career might have started out with those typcial pro-sport aspects, but he showed us you can dig out of it. And come out sparkling clean.

And now he's gone... we should count our blessings that he's graced our presence for so long, because tennis, and all of professional sports, won't be the same without him.

Goodbye Andre.

Agreed. Feels like I'm writing an epitaph so I'll keep it short.

The sports world is very short on Andres.

Andre was great. Now we have Federer, who is doing amazing things also.
