I congratulate him on his contract, and hope he enjoys America. I admittedly don't know much about him, but he seems like a decent guy.

I doubt his presence here will give a significant lift to the sport. I think he'll attract a lot of attention with his wife, based on their celebrity outside the game. Perhaps they are planning to launch movie careers, which is fine.

Anyway, they'll take some of the tabloid attention from Paris Hilton.
