McEnroe was actually talking about the retired Pete Sampras, who had flown in from CA to watch Federer break his record. But your point is taken.

I’m surprised McEnroe didn’t say “Federer was like me yesterday – telling kids to ‘Get off my lawn’”.

(Hello? Wimbledon uses a grass court? Yeah, yeah, your momma’s so dumb she think Jar Jar comes with Pickles Pickles)

One of your first episodes on The Simpsons made fun of sports commentators, as I recall. The one where Homer buys a gun. Brockman had no passion narrating the soccer match, while the latino dude was close to a heart attack. I love that particular set piece.

If McEnroe said Federer looked maaahvelous, I can’t even begin to imagine what Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno would say.
