Well, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout that John McEnroe fella. Is he leavin’ NBC? That’s the big question, ain’t it? He’s that tennis guy, right? Always hollerin’ and carryin’ on. Reminds me of my old man when the cows got out. Lordy, that man could yell.
This McEnroe, he’s been on the TV talkin’ ’bout tennis for a long time, I reckon. Since way back, 1992 or somethin’. He used to play, too. A real hothead, they say. I seen him on the TV a few times, throwin’ his racket and such. Ain’t no way to behave, I tell ya.
Now, people sayin’ he might be leaving NBC. Heard it from my neighbor, Mildred. She’s always got her ear to the ground, that one. Says she read it somewhere. Maybe it was in one of them fancy magazines she gets. I don’t know nothin’ about that. I just watch my stories and keep up with the weather. You gotta know when a storm’s brewin’, specially when you got crops in the ground.
But this John McEnroe leaving NBC, it’s got folks all riled up. He’s been with ’em for the French Open, whatever that is. Sounds like somethin’ you’d eat, don’t it? French Open. Anyways, he’s been doin’ that for a long spell. And somethin’ about it movin’ to a new place. Don’t ask me where. I ain’t got a clue.
They say he got all choked up ’bout it, too. Shed a tear, maybe. Well, I guess even a tough fella like him gets sentimental sometimes. Like when my old hound dog, Blue, passed on. I cried for days. He was a good dog. Loyal. Not like that McEnroe, always causin’ a ruckus.
But I guess he’s good at talkin’ ’bout the tennis. He knows all ’bout it. He is a tennis legend, after all. They say he was the best server in the whole history of tennis. Serve is important in tennis, right? Like pitchin’ hay, gotta have a good arm. He got a good arm, that McEnroe. A good left one, they say. And somethin’ about biomechanics. Don’t know what that is. Sounds complicated.
- He’s been on ESPN, too, I hear.
- And CBS.
- And some other ones I can’t recall.
- He’s all over the place, that one.
- Even over in England, talkin’ ’bout Wimbledon for the BBC.
He’s got a lot of money, that John McEnroe. A hundred million, someone told me. Can you imagine? What would you even do with all that money? I’d buy a new tractor, that’s for sure. And maybe a new roof for the barn. And a lifetime supply of feed for the chickens. That’d be nice.
He used to play tennis, you know. Not just talk about it. Won a lot of games, they say. And he got put in some kinda Hall of Fame in 1999. Sounds fancy. Like them fancy china plates my sister collects. Never understood that. Just somethin’ else to dust.
So, is John McEnroe leaving NBC? Well, I don’t rightly know for sure. Mildred says he is, and she’s usually right ’bout these things. But I ain’t seen it on the news myself. Maybe it’s true, maybe it ain’t. Don’t really matter to me, I suppose. I got my garden to tend to, and my chickens to feed. That’s what matters. Life goes on right?
He was good at doubles, too. Whatever that means. Playin’ with two people, I guess. Like me and my sister, Bertha, when we used to can tomatoes. Teamwork, that’s what it is. Important in life, teamwork. He is known for his shot making artistry. I don’t know what it means. But it sounds good.
This McEnroe, he’s a character, ain’t he? One minute he’s yellin’ and screamin’, the next he’s cryin’ on TV. Just like my old rooster, Bartholomew. Mean as a snake one minute, cuddly as a kitten the next. Never could figure that bird out. He will work for ESPN in 2024. I don’t know what will happen to him in the future.
Anyways, that’s all I know ’bout this John McEnroe leaving NBC business. If you hear anythin’ else, let me know. I’m always up for a good piece of gossip. Just don’t tell Mildred I told ya. She’d never let me hear the end of it.
But hey, life’s too short to worry ’bout some fella leavin’ a TV channel. We got bigger fish to fry, as they say. Like makin’ sure them crows don’t get to my corn before I do. Now that’s a real problem. A problem this old lady knows how to solve.
