Sport360 picks out the highlights from the sporting Twittersphere with Tom Brady, Lewis Hamilton, Andre Agassi and Tiger Woods all featuring.
The new season gets underway and the reigning NFL champions were given a timely boost with their star quarter-back Tom Brady back in the fold.

If the @nfl wanted to win this case against Brady they should have brought the @Giants to help them

Tom Brady may be the only person who could win versus the NFL in court. Those damn ball boys messing with PSI for their own personal gain

Great day for Tom Brady but I feel really bad for that Dom Grady guy that was gonna start in his place. Stay ready, Dom. Be a professional.

From day 1 Tom made it clear there would NEVER be a ‘deal’, love that he stood by his principles/integrity, and won. Now? GO STEELERS!

The “deflate gate” Ruling is monumental for the players and it’s defense against “potential” grievances against the nfl

Lesson learned from Tom Brady appeal….Anytime anyone wants to see your phone & it might incriminate you…..BREAK THAT

Lewis Hamilton apologises
Lewis Hamilton had to apologise on Twitter for not taking his hat off during the moment of silence dedicated to the memory of IndyCar driver Justin Wilson, who died two weeks ago. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo refers to another driver as ‘sister’, while Jenson Button shows off his ‘yellow beast’. Someone took issue with that.
Guys, I honestly hadn’t realise it was a minute of silence. I was so focused & listening to my music, I thought we were taking a photo.

I have the upmost respect & appreciation for Justin & his family. My sincere apologies.

I was told the minute of silence would be on the grid same as it was for Jules. I was misinformed. You’re comments tho love it

Gasol surprise in the Open
Is there anyone who hasn’t read Andre Agassi’s autobiography? Pau Gasol is the latest to pick up the must-read memoir and it earned him a shout from the man himself.
Today day off to recover & get ready for the next 3 games. I’m enjoying my new read a lot! #Open @AndreAgassi #Berlin pic.twitter.com/Cqdp8R3xBn

Tweetlets
Tiger Woods spent some time at the US Open this past week and took a legendary photo with Christopher McDonald, who played the unforgettable golfing character of Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore. Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant proved he is a big tennis fan gaving a shout out to Donald Young. Elsewhere, tennis player Coco Vandeweghe planned herself a trip to the set of her favourite TV show. Luckily, the lead actress of the show helped out.
