  • I thought folks usually mellowed with age....

  • you idiots. its a charity match, don't you think for 1 second he is playing up for the people. its what they expect to see. He has done plenty of this when he retired. its called "ENTERTAINMENT"

  • this was an act, chill out guys.

  • was mac ever diagnosed as bipolar...? just wondering....

  • This guy brought Tennis to All rich and poor!

    Pure Genius. 

  • a 12 year old girl can beat up mcenroes scrawy punk ass.

  • He had to have been a spoiled little kid in the way that he got what he wanted or had a temper tantrum. MOMMYYY!!!!! I want my bottle!!!!

  • @Eldrd They book John McEnroe. They know what they are going to get.

    It would only be sinister and exploitative if they paid the officials to deliberately make a bad call. Fortunately it isn't necessary to do that.

    I hope.

  • I think it's obvious that his more recent tantrums are staged. But still, they convince some people, he's a good actor.

  • When your ego is on the line, a lot of calls can seem false. But you got to transcend it. It's the word of a person doing one task (line judges) vs the word of a man who has the point, the set, the match, the crowds, grips, balls, angle, strategy jingling in his mind. Then it becomes clear that most of the time, the player is wrong. Plus most of those who use hawkeye challenges are wrong. Although there are those times when the line judge is wrong.

  • He looks absolutley ridiculous in those pants... come on John, your not Rafa !!!!

  • Ahhh Johnny Mac just being Johnny Mac, his tantrums never get old he is and without a shadow of a doubt will always be the bad ass of Tennis.

    "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!!!"

  • the man can play ball though, no doubt about that

  • i think he was only joking, c'mon people loves mcenroe tantrums

  • Guys, its his thing, he does it on purpose damn!!!!!!!

  • classic american asshole

  • And what third-world shithole do you come from?

  • Of course you would because that is how monkeys think. Now go take a shit in a hole.

  • classic stupid comment

  • To the people that talk smack about John McEnroe on this charity event, you do know that he does this as part of his contract? If you think this is serious then I have to say YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!

  • I like Magnus Larsson's comments... lol

  • its just intimidation, thats part of his game and it sucks

  • Well, who goes to watch a tennis match that Mac is involved in to watch the tennis?? Meaning him being that way is probably what the people attending that event wanted, and more than likely the sponsors of that event put John up to it.

    "Hey John, think you could spice things up out there for the crowd??" sort of thing wouldn't be unheard of.

  • el que nace tonto muere tonto

  • to be doing this at a charity avent dont make sense

  • While I admire the 'take no shit' attitude, it really wouldn't hurt to show a little decorum. Sometimes he wins, other times he comes off as a whiner. Still, he's one hell of a tennis player.

  • This was a charity event? Now that's just sad...

  • What tennis needed and needs is an American Patrick Rafter type - that would put a shot in the arm of American Tennis because attendance and interest is abysmal. McEnroe acting like an ass on the senior circuit does not endear fans to the game.

  • Tennis in America has been on the decline for years. After the Olympics I think we will have more kids wanting to swim than play Tennis. Its a shame - Tennis is such a great lifetime sport.

  • I am from the USA and agree with everything you say. The guys is just a loser - in my opinion - he has hurt American tennis far more than he has helped it. What American young player wants to emulate this waste of DNA? Sure he was a great player but his antics actually overshadow his accomplishments. He will be remembered for his antics over any championship he has won. Why TV continues to use him, is utterly amazing, even if he is rather a good commentator.

  • yes, but if he couldnt play tennis the way he played tennis no one would remember him at all....who afterall remembers Jeff Tarango??

    something to ponder....and there is NO way he hurt tennis more than he helped it...the tennis boom in the late 70's and early 80's can basically be attributed to him...People not only watched him bc of his mesmerizing tennis, but also bc they never knew if he was going to go crazy...he was not only a tennis superstar, but also a celebrity...

  • I remember Jeff Tarango - who was not a bad player (did fairly well in doubles) - no professional is.

    He also wasn't as nasty as McEnrone either - no one else has been or is.

    I disagree with your assertions - I feel he hurt tennis more than he helped it. I did not watch tennis because of McEnroe - never. He attitude brought an ugliness to the game, that was not needed.

  • Did you ever watch Tarango courtside?? I did plenty of times.he was BAD.just didnt get the same press bc he was pretty mediocre.Connors was as bad as Mac but somehow made people love him at the end of his career, Nastase was as well.and i know PLENTY of people who had ZERO interest in tennis but watched it ONLY BC of McEnroe...If you owned a tennis club in the late 70's and/or early 80's you might feel differently...I worked at one teaching tennis and saw directly Mac's influence on business..

  • Well Mac, I am enjoying our little exchanges. I saw Tarango once only - and he did get teed off in that match as a matter of fact. Connors could be vulgar - did that change how many notebook wired T2000s he sold (yes I know tennis too my friend). I am a certified teacher myself from years ago - I can honestly say I did not know anyone who watched Tennis because of McEnroe that wouldn't have watched tennis anyway. But your experience was probably more widespread.

  • American idiot!

  • what a schmuck! :>)

  • where do u get the intesity from? what is it for?

  • Listen man, McEnroe is a show man. i like his personality and McEnroe has been the most talented player ever. If Mc hadn't gotten married he would've won like 16 majors.He screwed his career up with his marriage and his lack of discipline but his talent is unique in tennis history.

  • I love him, bad ass motherfucker, you guys who criticize him are bunch of pussies who like robots like Federer.

  • I love how you say you love a tennis player like McEnroe but you call people who like Federer pussies. Last time I checked, wasn't tennis considered a pussy sport and people who are "bad ass motherfuckers" play something like hockey or football?

  • He gets paid extra to throw tantrums now. It is all an act.

  • McEnroe's career could have been so much better had he not been such a headcase and turned to drugs. It's painful to watch him still acting like this...

  • WTF are you talking about. So he tried pot a few times with Tatum. That does not make him some druggie ya twit.

  • The best player!

  • If John throws a punch....i'm backing him up!

    That's how i feel about these power mad psuedo-aristocratic wingdings.........they have absolutely no humility, so they deserve all they get imo!

  • No WoW71, he's a cry baby, he deserves no respect, he has no class. On the other hand, the ATP is smart for keeping him around, they always put new inexperienced line-judges in his matches because they want them to get some experience with a player that hot-headed in case of the event they'd be confronted by them. That's all they pay him for, is to go apeshit on line-judges for A. Entertainment to fans, and B. Training for newly established line-judges!

  • he was world #1 4 different times i think he deserves some respect

  • he was number 1 not 14 u fucking dipshyt...go buy a fan

  • lmao you really are a fucking idiot... he was world #1 .... for FOUR different years...learn to read u fucking moron

  • yeah i knew thats what u meant that wss my friend just being stupid and just saying somthin random and weird its what we do in australia

  • for all you people that are hateing on McEnroe screw you all. I have alot of respect for the guy, because he is not willing to take the line judge's bullshit. if it's out, then don't call it in. I play tennis and I know how bullshit the judges can be somtimes

  • So you're a miserable whiner also.

  • do you have any idea how frustrating it is when theres a bad call in tennis? you do get mad and sometimes you do need to let it out, mcenroe is a perfect example, true he does it for show now but back in the day he was right most of the time

  • is he usually right?

  • hell no haha

  • looool he sure did convise me!! damn glad im not the ref!

  • He is such a sad idiot

  • some people are dropped on their head at birth.

  • anger management?!!

    Here's my number 1800 774321.

    Ask for dr Cayenne Pippo.

  • 20+ years ago I saw him on a bic shaver commercial. I threw all mine away and went

    out and bought an electric shaver.

  • Lol I doubt he really cares about the senior tours ^^

  • W O O T lol mac lol the kids would be scared

  • i don't usually mind his tantrums.. but at a charity event!? OTT!

  • it was a CHARITY EVENT?

    ROFFFFFFFFFFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • Come on this must be staged. John isn't that stupid!

  • senior game though, what a comic player

  • Dreamt one night he was yelling at the chair ump who happened to be Bobby Knight. Think about it.

  • tennis is so much more interesting to watch with him playing haha

  • Mac the mouth

  • hahah what a wanker, he's a typical athlete. Ever watch a hockey player when he is in the penalty box? He never excepts that he has done something wrong, it's ALWAYS a Bulls*it call, same with the coaches. So if you leave it upto a coach or team member, no penalty against that team has ever been justified. I want one of the judges to take a racket and smash his balding fucking head. He's a whiner plain and simple. He acts as if all judges in the world are against him.

  • You guys realize he is doing this for fun to just give the crowd a little something to laugh about... He does this in almost every match these days. Dumb ass people saying he is being a dick or acting like a kid...

  • Oh yea baby...it is real funny to a crowd at a charity event to be called a bunch of fucking assholes...unprovoked. It really makes us dumbasses "laugh" when he acts the smae way off the court. I also will not be laughing when they open up Sportscenter with the news of the shotgun blast into his mouth...actually...he's a big pussy and it will be pills or carbon monoxide.

  • @KendallMB to bad that news will never come and he will still always have more money than you and be 10 times cooler than any tennis player ever because tennis is for faggots johnny is the only one with enough balls to say a bad call when he sees it.... charity event my ass hes the one donating to it ...

  • Mcenroe = best ever

    Me = McenRock its my band name

  • I am still waiting on the shotgun blast. Hopefully you won't follow him dwn that path.

  • Mac has such an entertaining game, and i certainly appreciate his fierceness--but theres a difference between being fierce and being a putz. growing up playing tournament-level tennis and watching mac MANY times, i realized early on that he wasnt merely a high octane player, he was a brat and a putz--and apparently still is ):

  • ahahah this is at a charity event? geeze mac

  • haha mcenroe is trying to copy nadal's fashion

  • how old is this dude? acting like a lil kid. for god sake, grow up mcenroe.

  • You're right KendallMB. When I was watching McEnroe it appeared he was very miserable. When he first came out the fans asked him to smile as they were taking pictures. He responded that asking him to smile was "the stupidest thing he had ever heard in 30 years!". That set the tone for the rest of the evening. Thanks for posting my video response.

  • I just posted a video - John McEnroe having a tantrum at age 48. I saw Mac live and I think his language and attitude have become worse over the years. There were spectators that came in as Mac fans and left as non-Mac fans. It was like seeing a grumpy old man. Parents beware to send your children to a Mac match - the language is truly R rated. Too bad. Mrs. Cafevideo

  • So John MacEnroe got pissy at your charity event... i hate to tell you this... but its fucking John MacEnroe? Did you expect the goddamn Pope? Like did you know what you were getting when he agreed to do this? Im not gonna argue and say he isnt an asshole.. cause he is... im just saying how can you expect anything else from him?

  • Quit philosophying and start reading. I expected and hoped to see the usual antics. I just never knew what drove them. I have great respect for a fierce competitive nature...I have great sorrow for miserable humans. In other words...I have no respect for John McEnroe. My point is simply that I THINK he must be the most miserable person I have ever seen based on the things I witnessed on and off the court.

  • You WANTED to see the antics yet you now condemn him for it because you THINK he may be miserable off the court. WTH?!

    If's he so miserable off the court, then you shouldn't condemn him but wish to help him. However, we both know that it isn't true, if you really believed it, you'd feel for him, or do you think a tirade on court justifies wishing a miserable existence all the time? In any case, on the court he gave you what you wanted. Grow up and find something of substance to whine about.

  • I loved him growing up and watching his matches with borg. but come on...grow up! now we have to listen to him on national tv. plz mac shut the fuck up already. conners should tell him to shut up again...ha ha

  • BTW...I was a big fan of the Mac until that weekend as were several of my guests. I have never witnessed a more miserable human being on every level. I used to appreciate his fervor as passion and competitive spirit...after that week...I realize that his fervor is some kind of anger at the world.

    Birdman...your ignorant statement as you do not know a damn thing about me...makes you an ignorant yet vocal moron.

  • You do know that it is in his contract to act this way at Senior Tours?

  • Kendall. Shut your no good mouth.

    Just because he made something of himself.

    He was out winning grandslams.

    Your sitting on the computer posting lame ass oppinions on youtube.

    Have a look at yourself idiot.

    Your a good for nothing.

    If you blew your brains out no one would miss you dickhead.

  • I absolutely love the dumbass that speaks out of ignorance...makes me feel smart. However Birdshit...when he puts the birdshot thru his miniscule brain...send me a note. Ignorance is not bliss...it is ignorant. If you are a friend of his...you should help him and not cast aspersions on knowledgable others.

  • I was cracking up here at my office when you called him birdshit. That was funny. Guys like that have to insult people thru celebrities. The old Im in tune with the star man your just jealous. "Birdshit" that was great.

  • It is not an act. I used to think that his antics were driven out of an incredibly competitive nature, but they are actually driven by misery. John McEnroe is the most miserable, unhappy person on the planet. We will wake up one day to the "stunning" news that he has blown his brains out. At this particular charity event, he turned to the crowd and said, "You're all just a bunch of f-ing a-holes". He also refused autograph and picture requests from some of his former biggest fans.

  • It is sad to see the guy think he HAS to act this way for the fans. It is not funny anymore. Somebody needs to tell him to just play. It is like the Rolling Stones. Why do they have to play Huge stadiums. Play small arenas. These boomers can't grow old with class. Its like haven't you made enough money for christ sake.
