Agassi picked for Hall of Fame

Andre Agassi is going into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The baseliner known for his aggressive returns and career Grand Slam told hundreds of students in Las Vegas Thursday that tennis gave him everything, including his wife, Steffi Graf, and his life's work.

The former No. 1 player won eight majors and set a precedent off the court in terms of fame and endorsements. His first major title came in 1992 at Wimbledon, where he beat Goran Ivanisevic in five sets. He went on to win four Australian Open titles.

The 40-year-old Las Vegas native says his proudest moment on the court was winning the 1999 French Open to complete the career Grand Slam. He will be inducted on July 9 in Newport, R.I. - APNFL

DeOssie named to Pro Bowl

Giants long-snapper Zak DeOssie was added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster by Falcons coach Mike Smith.

"I think I had my best year snapping," said DeOssie, who will make his second appearance. "No long snapper is used to getting any sort of recognition. I'm not complaining about that, but at the same time, it's a little different and not a bad thing."

DeOssie will be joined for the Jan. 30 game by Giants teammates Antrel Rolle, Justin Tuck and Chris Snee. Shaun O'Hara was elected to the Pro Bowl but had foot surgery earlier this week.
