I was there at the shoot. The ball bazooka was real. It was so cool we had a speed gun there and he shot it at 207 mph. After the third time the tennis manager came over and didn’t want us to fire it anymore due to the fact that the place is a plastic tube and if it punctured the wall we’d all be doomed. Colbert is as funny of camera as he is on. It was one of those great days being at work.

On a more serious note, you all probably heard about Andre Agassi’s recent pronouncement that the era of FEDAL is over and that Andy Murray is The Next.
For a reasonable response to that, one may look at this link:

Thank you for all the thank yous! All i did is just send in a quote from a newspaper. So, i have to thank judy for finding the whole video and also, of course, FF for posting it. Thank you, both of you!
It is funny stuff.
The tennis ball bazooka reminded me of Javier Bardem’s weapon in “No Country For Old Men”. Nightmarishly frightening!

Colbert is hilarious. About Blake beating Federer “Is that when he was paralyzed?” LOL!

FF – I can watch it without buffering issue from Bangkok, Thailand.

Thanks all for the search! Love this kinda off-court stuff. You get to know more about YOUR players and become fanatic groupies.
