This was in the name of science? poor guy...

At least he will hold the record for man getting hit by tennis ball at 50 mph... ><

Odd. It wasn't there before... Well, if he makes any more of a trend out of it, I'll call attention to it.

Look at it again - right after your brother and right before me. That's actually what really caught my attention, because you seem to almost always have your queue full. Then I looked at your queue and noticed you only had the one vid queued.

As for a talk post - I'm generally against airing this kind of stuff in public, particularly for a "first offense". (I know, this basically is public, but it's not quite a billboard.) That's partly why I was so vehemently opposed to quantumushroom's siftquisition. I didn't want to approach theneb just yet, at least until I had made some effort to figure out what was going on. The only thing I could see in common between us is we all downvoted the Achmed sift - maybe he's Jeff Dunham!

Four? I'm not on there... But that should be looked into. Maybe you ought to post a ST...

I wonder what the four of us have in common.

This guy allowed a tennis ball going 50 mph to hit him in the nuts? If that's not *eia, I don't know what is.

Indeed a commercial, and there's nothing to suggest the story is real either, although I'm sure Roddick loves that it continues to be believed.

Just think about how hard it would be to get ANYTHING into a clay court, let alone a tennis ball.

From Sports Illustrated 2003:
"Awhile back, a commercial featured Andy Roddick serving on red clay. When he served, the ball stuck on the clay in the service box. Please confirm for me that this was fake, and help me set a simple-minded friend straight.
--James, Champaign, Ill.
It was indeed fake. I once asked Roddick how they filmed it and he wouldn't give the details up. "

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It has been here before, but I don't think it was this exact video. I seem to remember it shoots tennis balls.

And a baseball too. It sure would have been a lot easier with a tennis ball.

OOOOH, that tennis ball int eh head had to be brutal - perhaps worse than the boxer. Oooh 0- doubles. Sweet. Oh-ho-ho - ball * post. Even worse! Nice!

LOL, @rembar - amusing story.

The person hit by the tennis ball is none other then Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim. Obviously.
