Poor Andy Roddick. I guess it’s not his fault, but he just looks so big and dumb to me. But the biggest surprise is that he’s not actually dumb. In fact, I spent several hours the other day chuckling to myself upon reading some of his more infamous quotes. Normally, this is when I would provide evidence of past smart alecky comments from his illustrious career. But today, you are lucky enough to see fresh smart alecky comments to journalists after his wife accused him via Twitter of having an unnatural love for Rick Astley.

Q. So can you talk us through Rick Astley here?

Andy Roddick: What do you want me to say? I said I wasn’t proud, but I’m not going to lie to anybody. I busted my wife on some of her crappy music. She brought up Rick Astley. I can’t deny it. It’s in my iPod. I bet it’s in your iPod, too, so shut up (laughter).

…

Q. How did it come about, this passion for Rick Astley?

AR: Okay, calm down. Just calm down.

[Questions about tennis... *yawn*...]

Q. You said you like going into London for dinner. I hear you enjoy going to The Ivy.

AR: Yeah, I’ve been there before. It’s nice.

Q. Been there this year?

AR: Once, yeah.

…

Q. Any other favorite spots in London that you like?

AR: Wherever Rick Astley is going.

Hehe. Don’t you love mandatory post-match press conferences?

Anyway, I have to admit that I actually had to look up Mr Astley’s name before this post to figure out who exactly he is. Then, I realized that I had heard that one song of his before! In fact, I have a video of Tyson singing this song at karaoke. Too bad Youtube is still blocked from this side of the Great Firewall.
