Agassi Gets Sizzler Coupons From Ellen

Posted Sep 7th 2006 5:00PM by TMZ Staff

Just days after his tearful goodbye from professional tennis, Andre Agassi was treated to a special retirement package courtesy of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres -- coupons to Sizzler and a shuffleboard set.

"Nothing says retirement like shuffleboard," Ellen joked.

During the segment which will air Friday, the tennis great volleyed back and forth Ellen about his highly emotional journey into retirement, once again thanking the fans for their unwavering support.

"I haven't been prepared for the emotions that would hit me," said Agassi. "It just felt really ... nice."

1. Unfortunately, I did not get to see Agassi's final match and was very saddened upon seeing the highlights. Andre Agassi has been a great ambassador for the sport of tennis and has given back as much as he has gotten. I have followed Andre's carrer since the mid eighties and being younger than he is, viewed him as my idol. His accomplishments are nothing short of amazing. I wish him all the best and hope that he becomes involved as a comentator at John McEnroe's side, that would be great!!! Good luck Andre!!

3. I think Andre Agassi is a wonderful man. He seems very humble despite his accomplishments.

5. Ellen Degenerate Creativity Session

by LIVEWIRE

Ellen is sitting with her 2 (female, wonder why?) co-writers for her lame as f**k show,

Ellen- awwwright sugartits, how bout I start the segment with Agassi by me coming out dancing to the 2 Live Crew classic, "Hey We Want Some Pussy!"

Writer 1 (in reality, a hot model who can't write, but Ellen hires her anyway), yeah...

Ellen- then I'll give him a retirement lap dance! It'll be hard for me, but I'll imagine Brook Shields pussy juice on him, since he used to bang her, the lucky MOFO!

Writer 2- (another dumb model) Yeah, remember the last time you tried to lapdance George Clooney and he threw up on you?

Ellen- yeah, maybe not! I know! This would be soooooooooo funny! I'll give him sizzler coupons and....

Writer 2- a shuffleboard set!

Ellen, writers 1 & 2- (in unison) COMIC GOLD!

END

6. Livewire.... your prejudices are showing, and you are the one who ain't funny! Wash your mouth out with soap and try to open your mind just a little. Or at least keep your ignorance to yourself.

7. I'm sure Ellen wants to be funny, but coupons from Sizzler and a shuffleboard to give to the retired Andre Agassi? Why not a new sports car? Or a round trip to England, France or Japan? Something more extravagant or nicer.

8. I find it impossible to believe that people can't see the HUMOR in Ellen's "gift". Why didn't she give him a new sports car or a trip to (anywhere in) Europe, the Orient, England? Pfffttt....yeah, like he doesn't have sports CAR'S, and he has never been on extravagant trips. PUUHHLEEEESSSE! Hilarious as ever Ellen, I think your "gift" was a great choice for the man who surely has everything! And earned it all I might add. I am not much into tennis, never was, but I DO REMEMER as a teen, changing channels and seeing this HOT,HOT,HOT man with a head full of long ,curly hair, I would try to catch his matches here and there after that. I even started going to gym and hit the courts. Unfortunately I could never hit the ball!

9. LIVEWIRE is turning over a new leaf, so not to offend TMZ posters. There are those who understand the satire and comedic stylings of LIVEWIRE, and there are many thousands of LIVEWIRE LUNATICS who enjoy his postings and can laugh at life. However, there are some senstive people who are VERY politically correct

It is now time for a kinder, gentler LIVEWIRE...

Gayvid Heward is the typical example of an uptight, can't laugh girlie man. He probably screams in a hissy fit if his Latte (with extra cream), is not just the right temperature and demands to see the Starbucks manager to read him the riot act. Lighten up LOSER!

LIVEWIRE is friends to both lesbos and fruitcakes, and Gayvid has his panties all bunched up in a knot.

Get out of your 2003 baby blue VW Bug, take of the pink shirt, and stop frosting your hair you Ryan Seacrest wannabe!!!

"Livewire is...The Swami of Seduction...The Doctor of Desire...The Hero of Hoochies!"
