John McEnroe Having Something to Say

[TheUniverseNow]

funny how mcenroe really likes nadal's game and he says so on tv and interviews, they are both lefties as well but the similarities end right there.

[AriIsGold]

People: he gets paid to do this. Calm the fuck down.

[Angeles435]

what an asshole... he needs to grow up!

[datomatt]

its funny to watch pissed off people get even more pissed off : )

[underdog1ssrr]

creepy old prick

[converse91970]

Sending himself up here I think, very funny!

[gorillabelly1]

How the mighty have fallen...

[Sonostatonominato]

He's just a great showman...and he knows it well

[Danielita90]

frustration ?? hahah

[leeatnewton]

he is a cunt and nothing else.

[rutopfeeriom]

What is this?When and where was this game?

[FATSIFATSI]

i was there

[wtftofu]

ahha listen to the crowd laughing... mcenroe's obviously putting on a show... but what do i know, he only seems calm when he's commentating

[gocanes93]

He does this for show now it seems like.

[AriIsGold]

@gocanes93 It's in his contract with the Blackrock Tour. He gets paid to act like this because they know fans eat it up. Basically, he has to.

[shotgun042]

bullshit. what more do you people want? you throw a motherfucker a life-preserver and they complain about the fucking color.

 terrible where this country is headed.

[CazK88]

You're exactly right..I often ask the same question. Where is this country really headed? We've got YOU PEOPLE saying "I want my country back" as if it ever left. "I want our flag to stay the same" as if it was changed. Yes, I often wonder where we are going too when we have covert bigots, like your brethren and you as the benefactor. You people live in the past still and stereotype all the time. This good old boy network is crumbling and I hope it crumbles fast! Yall don't care about us. So FU!

[peter26dudelocuaz]

this guy was like a pain in the ass in the court but everyone around him was having a blast...i do miss this guy

[LasCondesSantiago]

He abuses, and then the brain-dead assholes applaud him......

[Jsanft]

it is most definitely not an act...he is certifiably insanely competitive and has a horriffic temper

[spjfrat]

He is asked to lose temper in these matches for the fans. He has a temper anyway, but he has to act up at least once.

[Mendelevium146]

how old is he in this video?

[Notyalc81]

I don't know a whole lot about tennis, and I really only watch Wimbledon, so I always thought that McEnroe was always just a commentator until I found out he used to be a No. 1 player. I YouTube him to see some of his glory days, and I find out about all of his hilarious tantrums. I wish there were still players like him. xD

[AceGuitarR7]

most commentators are or have been pro's. jimcourrier, john alexander, john mac... etc ,etc

[oddballa13]

hes an asshole

[marioelie]

he's not an ordinary asshole, he's an american asshole... the asshole of assholes.

[AndJusticeForMe]

And Americans can be assholes...because we're the best country on the planet.

[smoth007]

The true GOAT!!!!

[ShahbazMughal]

whats so funny in the video?!?!?!?!

[funkey37]

Watching him throw tantrums when he was kid was funny, but when he's doing it with grey hair it's just sad.

[darkburnout00]

I'm pretty sure it's just an act

A throwback performance for the old days, he does those a lot of recent

[StevenCBlah]

Totally agree.

[asbte]

saw him get hooked against todd martin in on tennis channel and he got pretty pissed.

[67hippy]

It's a shame it's all an act now, but mac was a genuine badass back in the day. Legend!

[corkoram]

@67hippy Legend!! you have some wacky hero's. Obnoxious, arrogant and a bully. Good riddance to the bad sport.

[hanghang71]

i think he now does it cos the crowd expect itand would feel cheated if he never questioned a decision

[Bebothebum]

Hes always been angry lol

[KJT922010T]

thats McEnroe for ya

[steee5]

Is he serious in this??

[lovatt06]

He cannot be serious man.

He cannot be serious.

[hamzie11]

no,.,

[KevinRexrod]

I,m wondering: Is Mac serious about all his tantrums he,s been yelling at the empire thru out his entire career or is this just a part of his game to make the other guy lose his concentration?

[acorntechnique]

I think its both. if a kid jumped up and down and moaned as he did people would think 'what a spoiled kid'. if an adult did the same we would think 'what a stupid ass' - but when Mac did it it was somehow tolerated and even sought.

The fact is Mac was, and still is it appears, a prick.

[KryzMasta]

Watch the interview by Dave Letterman (look for John McEnroe on Letterman (part 2) [2000]):

Dave: When you were raging at the umpire... how many of those were real, and how much of that was 'wrestling'?

John: In the old days it was real, now it's mostly wrestling.

I think that's true, people expect to see it from him. This is also why people are laughing now, they know he's going to do it. If it were real, people wouldn't be so nice about it.

[amozartii]

Who is the other player..? Courier?

[ABeans07]

tennis spectators are D bags

[Smashingten]

Will ferral is such an overacting fag.

[THEKINKS08]

John is the Bobby Knight of tennis

[ufckennedy]

i think will ferrall would make a great John McEnroe

[jonnycokes04]

it was a 3rd place game but anyways go mac

[Twinhit]

You know, I could almost see Jack Nicholson playing the role of an older John McEnroe.

[clokverkorange]

If he hadn't gotten fat.

[Twinhit]

Well, maybe a Fat Mac?

LOL

[erosennin4203]

u have to love him :)

[spoonyluv31]

I can just say it again...McEnroe is the f'in man.

I really love this guy :-D

[evh5150316]

This is just an act right at this point in his career.

Johnny Mac is the Axl Rose of tennis.

[wikk3d]

Nah, because Mac can probably write better music.

[68hinduhammers]

BAD ASS for life

[dfasdasdfa0987654321]

hay hay hay. ;D y

[deivo4]

el verdadero gaudio

[drstan1]

what a schmuck cheating brat hopes to get opponent off his gamentics where cheating plain and simple an embarrassment to American tennis his brother was a great sport John is like a genetic experiment gone terribly wrong

[tripstahz]

He might just be the sole reason for the challenge calls that use video replays. Bravo-John! Pioneer of the sport!

[MuggerHugger]

he only does that for the crowd, he actually said that himself.

[AceGuitarR7]

If i played someone like mcenroe id mess with them so much. just to piss them off...

[thenextnadal]

thats funny but he IS kind of a baby

[FreeWater9]

if only mcEnroe played now, where you can challenge and such.

[jusprazem]

God bless the umpires of a mcenroe tennis match

[AlexIsUber]

may god have mercy on mcenroes umpires

[swraman]

was he kidding in this??

[Tranman409]

Yes

[juandi2570]

yeah he was hahahhahaha

[yepyepok]

Connors!

[jyy82993]

dont clap you damn fagoots stop encouraging him

[jyy82993]

i meant faggots

[KeoN1475]

he is the only reason y tennis is so good

thats y tennis nowa days is so shit 

players r borin

:P

[aporter6]

its cause of federer and nadal, real classy players, that tennis is what it is today bitch tits

[KeoN1475]

yeh but only wen they are playin each other, cos then the contest is fair, otherwise they just smash their opponent

n the only reason ur sayin that is cos of the final on sunday

u talk like u know wot ur on about

hahhahaha :P

[fastskyr34]

His on court tantrums stem from his incredibly wealthy background. He was not denied anything- except, perhaps, a good telling off.

[zippywaite]

haha john rules

[Dannyjjango]

john no one cares now

[Davesgonewild]

I met John in Paris and he is a real dick head!

Arrogant in real life, just like on the courts and that's why his TV talk show didn't work. He tried to be nice on his TV show but he's an ass nugget for real. The band he sings in sucks (you can't hear John over the music from the band). I actually liked him when I was young because I though he was acting on the courts, but he is a real loser in person.

11 Bravo

[AssyMcDoodle]

Sorry John, no one cares anymore.

[BicchiereNellaBirra]

This exibition reminds me of Buffalo Bill's ones, with old legends of the far west playing their stereotyped roles:

"And now ladies and gentlemen, Mac with his umpires!"

"You cannot be serious!!!"

"*clap*clap*clap*"

[fabiossj2]

SHUT UP STUPID........Play seriously....W LENDL FOREVER

[reefric]

he uses the F word in some of his fits, that makes him arrogant and very rude..

[tommie66tx]

that's fucking stupid. guess im being arrogant now.  you must not know what that word means

[shibman1103]

Yeah, you're right, I have never seen a smart person say fuck. Do you live under a rock or something?

[soadfan978506]

how does him saying fuck make him arrogant? are you fucking retarded? arrogant does not mean stupid, it means you think you're better than others wow

[reefric]

let me give you the dictionary definiton:

arrogant->behaving in a unpleasant or rude way, because you think you are more important than others..john obviously thinks his complaints on court deserve to be given great importance..and he´s rude!,so..who are you calling retarded john?

[soadfan978506]

arrogance is when you believe you are higher/better than someone else, and just because he swears doesn't mean he thinks he's better than the line judge, if he said "FUCK YOU I'M SMARTER THAN YOU IT WAS IN THE LINE" then he would be being arrogant

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

Can someone plz tell me what he says when the crowd has to laugh? ;)

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

at 00:07 and

[SeizeTheDayTomorrow]

and at 1:08 or something, what did the other guy said? sorry for the 3 messages, my computer was acting weird ;)

[pinkcorner13]

he always puts his hands on his hips when he has a go at the judge

[reefric]

i nearly piss myself laughing when mc enroe goes ballistic..

[omgitshideous]

haha i love how everyone claps after his rant like it was a theater performance!

[reefric]

it´s worthy of a theater performance..

[GovtSoldner]

funny thing is though... he was right almost all of the time. Ever heard of the mac cam?

[EthanStory15]

FUNNY AS THO

[wtonckens]

John McEnroe is an idiot! He,s completely made an ass of himself throughout his entire carreer!

People didn,t go to see a tennis game, but to see "Big Mac" yell and swear at the empire for laughs.

[ozcritic]

he's thrown more tantrums in 1 day than Lleyton hewit has in 5 years, he's a fucken sook. he sooks if he doesn't get his own way.

[michael9110]

yeah but Lleyton hewit is a stuck up prick... he thinks he's king shit

[TITANLITTLE]

mala racha....

[freedombikerz]

its funny BUT he was a professional tennis player so i think he should stop whining like a 4 year old girl and play on.

[GeddyRules]

Pathetic. He is like a carnival sideshow. From the grand stages of the tennis playing with the likes of true legends like Jimmy Connors to this. Just plain sad.

[hippiabsolut]

SHUT UP he was the best player ever,he has changed the way people played tennis.he is a real legend;He is not a robot and i prefer to watch him on the court than bjorn borg who is so boring

[ruff0210stuff]

he is the MAIN man!!!

the best ever!!!

[musicgamer10]

HEY! i was here! one thing has never changed, john still hates to lose.

[pJslimco]

the perfect gentleman

[gfrancavilla]

why would people clap for him

[guatonico]

he should call that guy for a fight

[malmisch]

he's being an asshole.. and everyone saying.. oh looks he's speaking his mind, thats so funny!! idiots... he's a git who thinks he is better than everybody else..thankfully for us thats not the case..

[Von1beck]

He does it just to piss you off buddy. Go Johnny go!

[OtakuKami]

lol he gets pissed off so much

[dual4aces]

i wonder how he never gets dsqualified or fined???

[urtyraims]

I was just thinking the same.

[SakurabaSan]

McEnroe is the man

[cinnaplid]

No class then, no class now.

[Dannyo550]

Is it cold up there on your pedestal John...??

[paulryo]

The line judge should get up and TWAT THE LITTLE AMERICAN TWAT!

[jjjggg35]

mcenroe had a superstition that in between points he wouldnt step on the lines notice in this clip that when he walks around he shuffles to avoid the lines

[martinz101]

dick head

[Proshott]

meow

[sledge999]

He`s a bad sport. Very poor example to youngsters.

[Axelsundberg]

Whats the point of losing and pretend to be happy? MacEnroe is a true champion and its good that not everyone is stiff..

[HeathInClearLake]

Those aren't tantrums anymore, it's comedic schtick! Amazing how he can get away with that stuff.

[PeterSGuitar]

He's still at it.

[InterSmells]

McEnroe just loves the attention.

[soley5]

he is very entertaining when you go to see him these days, but meeting him after the match for dinner (my dad's company sponcered the tourni) made me realize that he's not only a jerk on the court, but in real life as well.

[Boobalopbop]

I like when celebrities and public figures show real personality... even when its unpleasant. These polite, pc cookie cutter celebrities and sportsmen are boring. There is a reason names like Madonna, McEnroe, Lennon, Nicholson, Sinatra etc. stand out... and its not just their talent. They're outspoken, charismatic, at times.. obnoxious and real

[prrolg]

Unlike Sinatra McEnroe never had his front teeth punched out in a Vegas casino

[bart2463]

Interesting point. However, outbursts like that are unecessary! His emotions truly overshadowed his talent and cost him several matches.He's still one of the best, though!

[kutbot]

His emotions made his game what it was.

[myusernameislol]

lol nope but he was good to watch

[doverman2]

he is my fav player of tennis. he just makes the game more exciting and fun.

[TheSoloists]

You realize McEnroe just does this on purpose on the senior tour/charity events to get the crowd a little enjoyment. But when he was on the ATP tour, McEnroe has even said that getting angry like that pumped him up, just like Nadal or Hewitt would burst out.

[emmamasha]

this is before they had hawk eye

[gameshowfreak]

I heard that John McEnroe is a nice guy in real life.

[xxvamosxrafaxx]

hes funny he loses his temper that dusnt make him a bozo tennis is an emotional game they didnt have hawk-eye or anything so of course hed get frustrated

[Berghz0r]

John Mcenroe is SO funny :D

[yikay]

Mannn this guy funny lolz

[helltopo]

I think he does this to entertain. I must admit if i paid to see McEnroe, if he didn't go crazy at least once I'd feel cheated!

[tallshort79]

i think he does it on purpose these days, it's what the crowd expect of him.

[johnkjetil]

I agree. Looks like he's enjoying it:)

[WhiteHorseInn]

no question. played some great tennis but people tend to remember him for his 12 yr old-boy-behavior. Clown indeed.

[TennisJones]

He's a Clown Bozo McEnroe
