An HILARIOUS video featuring James Blake and everyone’s favorite faux Talking Head, Stephen Colbert. There is just too much funny for me to even describe. So go ahead and watch it (sorry, it has nothing to do with the ATP’s calendar – hope you aren’t too disappointed!)

“Why do people continue to play tennis while Roger Federer is still alive?” Ha!
And who else wants that ball bazooka? Is that thing for real?
Thanks to MarK for bringing this to my attention and to Judy for hunting it down! Enjoy!
It’s so nice, I’m posting it twice! (Not sure if anyone but me was having buffering issues with the first one.)

that ball rocket is awesome.
happy to help. i heart tennis and making people happy!
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!
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.
Colbert is hilarious. About Blake beating Federer “Is that when he was paralyzed?” LOL!
Funny – thanks for posting.

Thanks Henry! I posted it!
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:

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.
