NEW YORK: Andre Agassi used crystal meth periodically for ‘a year or so,’ the eight-time Grand Slam champion revealed in an interview with People maga

In his upcoming autobiography, Agassi admits he used crystal meth in 1997 and failed a drug test _ a result he says was thrown out after he lied by saying he ‘unwittingly’ took the substance. ‘If you're going to tell your story, you owe it to yourself to tell it honestly,’ Agassi told the magazine in its latest issue. ‘Especially if you're going to call it 'Open.’' New excerpts published on Friday reveal Agassi wore a hairpiece that nearly fell off at the 1990 French Open, became jealous during ex-wife Brooke Shields' appearance on ‘Friends,’ and how Shields put a photo of Steffi Graf _ now married to Agassi _ on the fridge for motivation to get in better shape before their wedding. ‘It's a photo of the perfect woman, she says,’ Agassi...

Brady starting to look comfortable again

Forget who the Patriots’ opponents were – Tom Brady has looked great the past two weeks. For the first five weeks of the 2009 season, Brady looked an awfully lot like a player that had major reconstructive surgery a year ago.

He has thrown nine touchdowns in his last two games but more importantly than the numbers, he finally looks comfortable again. Earlier this season, Brady got into a bad habit of throwing off his back foot. But against the Bucs, he showed the ability to step into his throws...

Bill Simmons lists the 33 most intriguing people of the 2009-10 NBA season

On the Blazers' acquisition of Andre Miller... 21. Andre MillerWe knew Miller was a bad fit when the Blazers signed him. It just didn't feel right. He's a moody loner; they had great chemistry last season. He needs the ball in his hands; so does Brandon Roy. He likes freelancing; Nate McMillan is hands on. But Portland felt obligated to spend its extra cap money, and nobody else was pursuing Miller, so what transpired was the equivalent of two single wedding guests going through the motions on the dance floor. I could use someone, and you could use someone. Unfortunately, I hate bald guys and I have a tiny butt; you're bald and you love bubble butts. We have no spark and are destined to fail. But crap, there's nobody better. Screw it, would you like to come back to my room? I get Portland's...
