Jealousy will destroy us, or so she used to say.  You’d kill for half the things we do including yesterday.

Yeah, I can lead off the Smear with hot chicks too.

The above sultry lady is none other than Brooklyn Decker, wife of Andy Roddick.  She’s gonna need some help getting all that sand off of her copper skin.  Are you up to the task?  Andy Roddick is too busy winning his way into the sweet sixteen of the Wimbledon championship at the moment.

Roddick defeated Jergen Melzer in four sets yesterday advancing to play 20th seed Tomas Berdych on Monday.  I know it’s been easy to pick on Andy over the course of the last few years, but he’s been the only one to pick on.  He’s the only true star of American tennis making it all the more easy to cue in on his wilting under pressure at the tennis majors.

[HOLY SHIT USA JUST SCORED AGAINST BRASIL IN THE CONFEDERATIONS CUP FINAL! 1-0!!!!1!!!!!]

TRG’s manager, El Rat, just loves to point out that Roddick is cross-eyed.  Just utter Roddick’s name in front of the man and he will tell you about the time he saw Andy at Red Door with two bottle blondes and a cast on his arm.  Oooo La La.  Thank goodness we have someone like El Rat in our crew to helpfully point out the inadequacies of the public figures so we all feel a little bit better about ourselves.  Sounds like the prototypical blogger actually.  Too bad he’s never been able to figure out what an adverb is or we would ask him to contribute to Fourth and Fifty.

On to our Houston Sports updates:

[DOUBLE HOLY SHIT!!! 2-0 USA!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!]

ROCKETS – The Houston brass have somewhat of a man-crush on one Garrett Temple.  The Rockets called Temple immediately after the NBA draft to ask him to participate in the team’s Summer League held in Las Vegas.  Garrett hopes to feel less like a wolfpack of one and think “could it be? Could there be more to add to my pack?”

ASTROS – Make it two in a row for the Astros, defeating the Detroit Tigers for the second straight game.  The Astros never looked back after a five-run third inning stretching the final score to 8-1.    The bats are finally waking up.  Matsui hit a home-run and Berkman had a two-run double in the Astros’ key inning.

DYNAMO – Looking to continue their dominance against the rest of the MLS in their game tonight at 10pm against the LA Galaxy.  Here’s your preview.

INFOMERCIALS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME – Bill Mays is dead at the age of 50.  Pipez is in mourning.  Please keep in your thoughts and prayers.  ESPN360 commercials will never be as funny.
