With the Katrina "memories" playing all day, I needed you, Andre ...

With nothing but Katrina dominating all of the other channels last evening, thank God for you and your great play, Andre [Agassi] (left) and your incredible tenacity at age 36 -- almost as old as my brother, Richard in Connecticut. But who would have believed you would "win one more for the Gipper" in so many overtimes? For you to get into the second round that way was as dramatic as for almost anyone else to win the US Open.

We old folks are pulling for you, but you've already won in my books.
