was waiting for the one question.....why?
Jimmy said it "wouldn't be me" to apologize, or approach Krickstein. I don't get it. They seemed to be somewhat close before that match, how did they all of the sudden start avoiding each other? Were there some inflammatory remarks made during interviews after that match? What made it to where these guys just stopped talking?
I think the McEnroe's comments were very telling. I always remembered McEnroe was a jerk on the court, but even McEnroe said that you've got to leave that kind of stuff on the court. McEnroe has been hired to broadcast and has remained highly visible since his playing days. It's obvious that nobody like Connors because he disappeared after his career was over.

and you can tell that fowler really loves tennis.
1. Fowler really really loves tennis.
2. The best part of the documentary was Fowler's reaction upon hearing that Connors had never once reached out to Krickstein. That was gold.
Overall, I thought it was a really really good doc, and the best I've seen from the new string of 30 for 30s. I do agree with the one poster who said that they should have emphasized his success in the 70s more than his dropoff in the early 80s. I honestly don't know a ton about the early years of Connors' career, and I would have liked to have seen more early footage with him and a young Borg among others.

There's not another American sports broadcaster who do tennis the way Fowler can. He's absolutely brilliant. I've watched tennis all over the world, and even when I was in London for Wimbledon I found myself missing Fowler's broadcast. I have no idea what ESPN is going to do when he hangs them up. He's their best broadcaster by a country mile.
