I remember the song to Andy. That was just borderline creepyluna_moonstone said:Actually I think he's kinda cute
But he's way to obsessed with Andy. When I saw him sing that song for him at Wimbledon well....I was embaressed for both of them.
Plus he totally trashed Lindsay at this year's OZ open, which was not cool.
Fingon - it's possible to have an accident in a golf cart...those things don't have a lot of control, and the stops and starts can be jerky. Plus, if you go down a hill...watch out. I speak from experience

I don't think he's frightening, but his game was pretty much the same as Andy's- baseline bashing and an inside-out forehand weapon. Pretty much both muscle-heads, and they tend to get along well in the locker room. To Jim Courier's credit, he realized he could no longer compete with Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi for Majors, and decided after 2 years of mediocre results, it was time to call it a day. I wish more champions would make these kinds of decisions instead of hanging on forever and getting beat by lesser players for years on end.

Darran, he recorded the song at the Abbey Road studio The Beatles used. It was a little video of Jim strumming a guitar and clips of Andy playing. If you can imagine some of the guitar type ballads Eric Clapton sings you'll have the right flavor. The gist of the song was that Andy was the future king, the future king, the..future...king....la la la
It was creepy and hilarious at the same time.
I agree with alfajeffster about why Jim retired. I also heard that his arm went dead like when a pitcher can't throw the fast ball anymore. So, without an elite player's serve, he was just prolonging the inevitable.
I don't like to comment on people's looks because I believe that beauty is relative and I appreciate a lot of forms of beauty. But, I will say that I appreciate Jim a lot more now than I did when he was playing. He's committed to promoting the sport of tennis, he understands the game intimately, and, what I like about him the most, is his fierce individuality. He's his own man right or wrong, good or bad. I don't agree with everything he says, but, I know he has his own mind and is willing to speak it.
