The Two Incredibles

I am finally old enough to comprehend the sheer greatness of two of the greatest sportsmen to grace the world of sports.

His Royal Highness – Roger Federer – the greatest man ever to raise the racquet. He dances with his weapon, produces shots from high aloft with deadly accuracy and he also cries. He is both human and god at different times.

HRH just won his 16th Grand Slam at the Australain Open 2010 pulling off from the elite of the tenis. In fact, an emotional Murray, who was on the best seat in the stadium was close to tears afterwards, saying: “I can cry like Roger, it’s a shame I can’t play like him.”

Agassi once Again !

One of my favourite sportstars, Andre Agassi has admitted in his new autobiography that he lied to tennis authorities about his use of crystal methamphetamine to escape a ban. I am not exactly sure if I should be shocked or amused! Why tell now? Why ruin a reputation that he has strived so hard to build? :shock:

Agassi said he wanted to share

“my bad decisions which, in a few instances, nearly ended in catastrophe. I felt my story was one from which many people could learn”

Does Obama deserve the Nobel ? Now ?

The 44th President of United States Barack Obama has just recieved the Nobel Prize for Peace for 2009, to quote the comittee’s words

“for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”

Barack Obama

The intention of the Peace Prize as described in Nobel’s will, was to award “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”. :???: Now, has Obama said he will do all that ? Yes. But has he done all that ? NO. So, why did they give it to him ?
