	ESPN Classic - McEnroe was McNasty on and off the court
		John McEnroe was a winner and a whiner, a super talent nicknamed Superbrat.
		"John can change his tactics and style to adjust to his opponent's strategy and to the court surface," said Arthur Ashe, the 1975 Wimbledon champ who also was one of McEnroe's Davis Cup captains.
		McEnroe also was the key to the U.S. winning the Davis Cup in 1981 - his five-set win over Argentina's Jose-Luis Clerc was the clincher.

	Being John McEnroe
		McEnroe not only wanted it perhaps more than anyone except maybe his hated rival Connors -- who is generally recognized as the most competitive man to have played the game in the modern era -- but also he truly seemed to expect from himself nothing less than perfection.
		McEnroe's opponents are nearly unanimous in their opinion that his on-court behavior was not the raw impetuosity of a mad genius as we were led to believe, but rather the contrived tactics of a champion so arrogant he would do literally anything not to lose.
		McEnroe's greatest ambition, however, from the time he left the tour in '92 until only a few years ago, was to become a rock star, something he has rarely spoken about for fear of ridicule.

	John McEnroe Summary
		John McEnroe (born 1959) was one of the most successful and high-profile players in the history of tennis.
		McEnroe also reached the final of the French Open that year, and seemed to be on the verge of beating Ivan Lendl when he won the first two sets.
		McEnroe has also been given roles in TV and film where he playfully acknowledges his well-known belligerence such as in his appearance in a 2005 car commercial for the SEAT Altea where he angrily shouts his trademark "Clearly inside the line" line at an officer who has ticketed him for parking incorrectly.

	John McEnroe Speaker, John McEnroe Appearance, John McEnroe Endorsement
		John McEnroe is almost as famous for his words on the tennis court as he is for his play.
		McEnroe, who was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1999, is never at a loss for words and that makes him an obvious choice as a motivational speaker or company spokesman.
		Despite his bad boy image, or perhaps because of it, the John McEnroe endorsement portfolio was huge during his heyday on the court and he continues to be a popular commercial endorser.

	John McEnroe
		McEnroe first took the tennis world by storm in 1977 when, at the age of 18, he made it through the qualifying tournament into the main draw at Wimbledon, and then proceeded to make it all the way to the semi-finals where he eventually lost in four sets to Jimmy Connors.
		McEnroe continued to be a mainstay of US Davis Cup teams for the next 14 years, and was part of US winning teams again in 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1992.
		McEnroe was apparently unaware that a new Code of Conduct which had just been introduced to the game meant that a third code violation would not lead to the deduction of a game, but instead would result in immediate disqualification.

		Screw nostalgia, McEnroe seemed to say; just as in the '80s, when his combination of talent and temperament transcended his sport and he attained pop-culture icon status by turning tennis into performance art, McEnroe had yet again provided a voyeuristic glimpse into tortured genius.

	John McEnroe's TV Racket - By Mike Steinberger - Slate Magazine
		To liven up their coverage of the U.S. Open, CBS and USA Network have once again employed the services of John McEnroe, whose presence in the broadcast booth is, according to many tennis aficionados, ample reason to tune in.
		Presumably, McEnroe was aware that NBC had sent him to London and put him up in a swank hotel for two weeks because the network believed he had some wisdom to impart from his own experiences at the All-England Club.
		Hopefully, the idiocy of this spectacle, in which McEnroe will snort and snarl, heap endless abuse on the poor sap in the chair, and otherwise parody himself, will finally convince the sport's commissars and chroniclers that McEnroe is no cure for whatever it is that ails tennis.
