That's pathetic, I agree with those who say he should have gone bigger

How is it less pathetic to do bigger drugs? :confused:

The things that I thought was interesting about Agassi, was how he threw matches supposedly because he mentally had so many issues, he just didn't want to play the next day, so he went ahead and tanked matches.

When he said that the struggles were what makes tennis great in his interview he obviously has a different perspective. Oh well.

Yeah, I am pretty sure he was required since he was a top ranking player.

kind of sickens me how some claim to want pro athletes to be upfront and honest..tell all...and then one does and he gets the criticism Agassi has gotten IRL and here in this thread even. It is interesting, very much so...not just the drugs but the upbringing...his feelings towards tennis, and his career in general.

The funny thing about Agassi, is how much did people really know about him? He was known to be a great player but then when he comes out with this, you just sit back and say Wow!
