John Mac is the biggest hater of em all, I will never forget the fact that he condoned Justines cheating at the French Open and basically said that you have to do whatever it takes to beat Serena. And MARY CARILLO stepped up and challenged him on that one.
What exactly did Mary Carillo say that badmouthed Serena? What I heard her say was that she wished ALL the women would show as much dedication to the sport as the men do, so that she could see the women play major finals that are as competitive as Nadal-Federer. If you heard something else, please enlighten me.
Care to quote him?
I don't have the exact quote but basically at AO 2006 he said that now that all the women players were athletic and could hit the ball hard, women's tennis could finally about the "tennis" and because of that V&S couldn't compete at the top anymore. i.e. V&S don't know how to play tennis i.e. the same criticism they've been getting their entire careers.
It was fine the first 5 times she said it. Then she said it another 5 or 6 times during play and after and during the awards presentation and then after in the post commentary. She went beyond harping and basically saying the same thing over and over until when she stopped talking about Serena only, all our eyes and ears were blearied by it and everything just seemed like it was all about Serena.
They are overly negative when it comes to the sisters and have a personal bias against them. It's nauseating to hear their commentary, often times I turn the volume down when Serena is playing to not hear the negativity. 
Chile, don't even get me started on Fed's crybaby ass. One of the most despicable things I've seen on a tennis court.
OH, probably the way she felt the need to say it, 43 times and talk all over the award ceremony about it and make it the bumper in and out of every commercial and then turn it into the sarcastic closing package about her "being happy that Serena was out selling juicers".
Pmac isn't a saint, I remember one time after Serena or Venus (can't remember) lost a match he said the reason why was because all of the players were just as strong as them so they couldn't overpower players and it was all about tennis and they couldn't win with their tennis skills. Although the last couple years it seems as if he now realizes how important V&S are to American tennis and has backed off them.Mary Carillo, Chris Fowler, Martina N., Tracy Austin, and Pam Shriver are the worst offenders.
Patrick McEnroe, Bill McAtee, and Cliff Drysdale are lightweight meaning they aren't as bad..

I included Pam Shriver in the group because she's low down and I remember her nonsense when they would team her up with Mary Jo behind the commentating booth. She was always picking at the sisters finding ways to discredit them at every turn. I haven't forgotten how nasty she was back then but I realized she's turned over a new leaf now.
I agree, Mary rarely talks about the match itself and rambles on like a penniless drunk. I guess it's hard for her to call plays when she doesn't really know anything about the game. Hence her wack singles career :tape:
:lol: Penniless drunk. :haha: Anyway, yeah my sister asked me if Mary Carillo played tennis. I had to think about it and when at the same time my sister asked, she started talking about how she was playing Martina Nav. I told my sister, I guess so, but I swear I've never read or heard anyone else talking about her career. Pam and Mary Jo talk about their tennis careers all of the time during commentary, but Mary Carillo never does and I wasn't sure, because I sure don't remember her. I thought before she mentioned it this time, that I would have to look her up. I guess I'll still do that, since I'm still wondering about it.
