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.

Connors has always been an a-hole. It's kind of sad because you can tell he's lonely, despite his insistence otherwise. Time, and people, move on.
Connors explanation for not talking to Krickstein ever again were just such BS. "Oh, what can you do? I'm just an a-hole."

Yeah, it's weird. I always liked Mac's tirades, and most of his animosity seemed to be directed to umps, not other players (Lendl is a big exception here). But, Jimmy always seemed really low level crude and made a point of fricking with the other guy. I always knew Mac was buddies with Vitas, but I was surprised in reading his book, how much he rolled with Borg. Jimmy was more of a loner out there, although I respect him for the chicks he banged.
The '91 run was really annoying to me at the time, but I appreciate it a lot more now. CBS playing it during U.S. Open rain delays is basically a running joke at this point.

I also think it helps that Mcenroe is a really bright guy. He went from complete jerk with an uncontrollable temper to one of the most respected voices in the tennis community because he had it in him to make that transformation.
Connors seems hypercompetitive in a way that reminds me a little bit of Michael Jordan. Neither of them have the ability to turn down the "absurdly competitive" knob. Not even for a few minutes to, say, give a hall of fame speech or give Aaron Krickstein a call.
