Good sports

There are few athletes that can raise the emotional level of fans in a positive way and when one appears on the scene we ought to take notice of that.

One of the few athletes in that regard is James Blake. A top 50 tennis player (soon to be a top 25 player, and hopefully one of the elites) he represents all that is good in sports. Intelligent, humble, non-assuming, educated, he should be placed on the proverbial pedestal and offered all of our congrats on a regular basis. His interviews are not laced with theb usual comments because of the fact that he can think his way out of a box. A great role model for youngsters, I am hoping that he can pull of the upset of the decade and grab all of America's attention by showing well at the U.S. Open.
