unsure.gif Jim Courier - BIG TIME JERK !!! Does he lack a formal education? National TV and he acts like a 2nd stringer commentator. First, he picks a fight with Tracy Austin on air and then she has to fight back. Then his knuckle-head ego is offended and he keeps it up. During the Hass/Davydenko match he likens Davydenko and his potential betting scandal to O.J. who didn't want to speak up about whether he did it or not. Would someone in the control room tell this 2nd stringer that this is a sport TV "HappyLand" and no one wants to hear his mindless analogies! Courier has a terrible image and couture problem. He always looks like he needs a bath, a shave and a hair cut; and those "off-the-rack-suits," I've seen better funeral home suits! This guy is not a TENNIS BUM, HE OUGHT TO GROW UP. Can't USA Nework put a clean-up clause in his contract??? P.S. USA Network, you did a fantastic job of the OPEN!

Courier need to go. Go away Courier. There is no place for your type of ego on the international stage of sports. It is an honor to be in a position to comment on the some of the world's greatest athletes. Network exec's, you can do better.

Please please, take him away along with Ted R.

They have no idea and ruin what is one of the most exciting and ejoyable sports to watch.

I still cringe a the way JC 'attacked' Novak as not being ' in the big leagues' at the moment as he is only 20.

We then get the praise of one the Wiliams sisters who got to the Final 10 years ago when she was only 17.

Go figure, JIM.

Also, please take away the court side interviews while the match is in progress.

I was just hoping the fans around the interviewers (Michael and Mary-joe) would tell the to 'put a sock in it'.
