He was the greatest (except on clay)

Pete Sampras is still winning titles, even while retired. Read here. This little blurb made me laugh:

Then, between beating Martin and grabbing the first-prize check of $50,000, Sampras shared some bad news with the Red Sox fans in the crowd.

"I don't know if you guys heard, but I believe the New York Yankees just signed Roger Clemens,'' Sampras said during the trophy ceremony as the crowd of 3,560 erupted in boos. "I'm serious.''

That is some funny funny, that is. "Hey, Boston! Thanks! Love you! By the way, the Yankees trumped you again. So sorry. Suck it, would ya?"
