I hated watching John McEnroe play tennis. Hate may be a strong word. I enjoyed watching when other players beat John because he was such a snot out on the court. Screaming at umpires, linesmen, his opponent, himself, it was always quite a show.
Sunday I turned on the television coverage of the NYC Marathon and who was one of the announcers? McEnroe. For running. Now John has become an excellent tennis announcer, but marathon running? Really, are we the only sport that needs outside assistance to be relevant? Fifty thousand people in the race isn't enough? I think out of 3 hours on television maybe 30 minutes was actually devoted to seeing the elite racers.
