I'm pretty sure I just heard Cowherd say the boy's HS javelin record is farther than the women's Olympic record


Had to look it up...records for modern javelins.

Boys H.S. javelin record: 255 ft 4 in (77.83 m)

Women's World Record: 237 ft (72.28) (Men's is 343 feet)

The girls H.S. javelin record is 185 feet.

I feel like we've done the battle of the sexes enough times by now right? Unless your Bobby Riggs, it's not a contest

but seriously one asked if he wanted to apologize and he matter of factly said no.

the other asked him where he would be ranked in the world and he said 1200. The question in text dont sound too bad but you had to see their little smugness about how they went about it to get the full grasp.


Right at the end of the interview the Black COW continued to badger McEnroe to apologize to Serena by asking "So you aren't going to apologize to Serena?"

I think we should find out who is the #700 ranked male tennis player and after Serena has her baby and gets back in shape then she should play the #700 ranked male tennis player.


That's something most people are missing. McEnroe didn't say she couldn't beat the 700th ranked player (ignoring it was a number he just threw out there to begin with). He said due to her mental toughness among other things she probably could beat some of the guys. But over the grueling course of the season she wouldn't fare well.

I watched that match live and I'm a tennis player, he definitely 'tanked' the match. It was common knowledge back in the day amongst players..

Amazing that even 30+ years later, McEnroe and Ille Natasie are still getting under people's skin so badly.

The crying of wolf is catching up with the media. Girl that grew up across the street from me played Big East D1 college basketball. Me and my brothers (all of us only played high school ball) whipped her arse every single day.

Serena would have trouble winning a match at the Men's NCAA Singles tournament. The level in College tennis has gotten that high. If you watch a men's singles match, from college level and up, the physicality and speed is so much different. She knows this is true, but is too prideful to admit it. It's fine, people are idiots.

Steffi would kick her arse.

What are the odds that ESPN drops him from Wimbledon coverage? They probably won't but I bet those pussies at least thought about it.

Serena versus Graf in their primes Serena would skull drag Graf

Seles owned Graf until she got stabbed


Graf wouldn't have half her titles had Seles not been stabbed.
