You too can (maybe) beat Andy Roddick with a frying pan ... except he'd be using the frying pan

512f-4Rfu6L__SL500_AA240_.jpgGetting back to one of our favorite book ideas -- Todd Gallagher's "Andy Roddick Beat Me With A Frying Pan," which we featured last October (click here) -- ESPN.com's Page 2 is doing a contest where the winner will actually get a chance to face the tennis star, while he competes using a frying pan.
Gallagher did that as a set-up for his book of "what if?" stunts, and actually beat Roddick (despite what the title of the book says). Gallagher, who said he'd been talking to various production companies about establishing a TV series, may have something in the works here. Finally.
Fans who want to compete have to submit a short clip of themselves reenacting a great highlight in sports history (why? sounds corny, but OK) and bonus points is if they can incorporate a frying pan into it (now it makes sense). Winner plays Roddick in December -- racket vs. pan.
