PHILLIPS: That's right. Give me the grand entrance. Give it to me, Tony. Give it to me. Tony Harris, ladies and gentlemen. Come on. Obama danced in India.

Don't stop rocking until they bang-bang.</s>HARRIS: You're good. How are you feeling?</s>PHILLIPS: Well, let's talk about this trickery in NFL. Forget the middle school trickery. Did any of you guys see this?</s>HARRIS: Yes.</s>PHILLIPS: Here we go, Steelers. Their receiver right?</s>HARRIS: Right.</s>PHILLIPS: Is it Antwaan Randel El.</s>HARRIS: Randel El?</s>PHILLIPS: Yes. Randel El, I never say his name right. He takes his hand off, tosses a 39-yard touchdown pass and boom Pittsburgh goes on to beat Cincinnati. Were they watching the middle schoolers? Is that how they did it?</s>HARRIS: Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Everybody's got a bushel basket full of trick plays. Right. I mean you have your own, right?</s>PHILLIPS: Oh, I have all kinds of tricks in my hat. You know it.</s>PHILLIPS: I'm like a magician pulling things out of the black hat.</s>HARRIS: Oh, man. You know Roethlisberger you have to say -- quarterback of the Steelers has handled himself pretty well on his return after a messy couple of months.

I was laid up for 48 hours after playing with you and the boys.</s>HARRIS: It's going to be a while before we play again?</s>PHILLIPS: Yes. My feet still ache.</s>HARRIS: So what I wanted to bring you was one of the classiest acts in all of sports. He's our guy -- he's a tennis guy.</s>PHILLIPS: We love Roger Federer.</s>HARRIS: It is Roger Federer.</s>PHILLIPS: He is.</s>HARRIS: Over the weekend, he won his 65th professional tennis tournament. That puts him ahead of Pete Sampras, an all-time great. There he is. He is and has been -- you know, tennis may not be the sport in the United States that it was in the days of McEnroe and Connors and Agassi and Sampras.</s>PHILLIPS: Sure.</s>HARRIS: But it is still a huge global sport, and he is the epitome of class and at 29 years old, he continues to beat these kids.</s>PHILLIPS: And that's what kills me. At 29, he's considered old.</s>HARRIS: Yes. In this game, he's considered old. He is a guy with a wife and twins.

There we go.</s>HARRIS: There you go.</s>PHILLIPS: Hopefully they'll be as good tennis players as Federer.</s>HARRIS: Yes. Well, they will do well if they're as good as you are.

Now, I don't recall ever seeing a photograph of them together in Australia. But they were both there at the time.</s>PHILLIPS: Apparently they had a nice little get away.</s>HARRIS: Well, there you go.</s>PHILLIPS: End of story.</s>HARRIS: And then later in the month, we know what happens, two irons, everything else, cars, accidents, everything else. But this is the --</s>PHILLIPS: But he's still getting paid millions of bucks to do like appearances here, right?</s>HARRIS: Yes, he really is. He is getting an appearance fee. It's a healthy one. And the other bit, folks have been warned, spectators have been warned if you heckle Tiger, you will be bounced from the event immediately.</s>PHILLIPS: Why? He deserves it.</s>HARRIS: Yes, so you know, maybe a better 2011 for Tiger. It's going to be a terrific 2011 for you.</s>PHILLIPS: maybe he ought to bust a move.</s>HARRIS: Pretty good 2011 for you, hot lady.</s>PHILLIPS: I'm working on it. Tony Harris, ladies and gentlemen.</s>HARRIS: All right. There you go. That's all I have.</s>PHILLIPS: There he is; he has the big play. Not a big player but he has the big play. Bust a move,</s>T.
