I'm not going all-in but I do want to add some perspective to that last fairly pedestrian post I just published. That last post is fine, as far as the way this debate is really concerned, especially with Novak still with more in the tank. But I want to play a few more riffs on …

Djgoatkovic
Going into the 2021 U.S. Open I had already confirmed for us (you and me, myself and I) that Djokovic was the greatest player to have donned the tennies. There are many ways to look at this almost fruitless debate/discussion, but these are some big metrics: Double career grand slam (won every major twice) Double …
Why Men’s Tennis is No Longer Worth a Shit
If you've read this blog for a few years, you recognize that title. I am re-publishing that old article: see link below. https://mcshowblog.com/2018/10/21/why-mens-tennis-is-no-longer-worth-a-shit/ I am doing this for two reasons: The sport beyond the major tournaments is dominated by only a sprinkling of noteworthy form from players mostly forgettable (until proven otherwise), so writing about …
2020 ATP Finals, etc.
I figure I should put a wrap on what happened over the last couple of weeks, how the WTF played-out and so forth. My last post was typed and published in about 2 minutes' time, as Dominic and Daniil headed for a third and deciding set. Thiem should have finished that match in the second …
GOAT: Beauty Flawed
This image says it all Flaw and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. That's how life works; that's how this men's tennis GOAT debate works. Imagine that: the knucklehead you're arguing with on Twitter about who is the GOAT is right. And so are you. 😉 Yesterday we looked at Nadal and Djokovic; …
GOAT: Flawed or Beautiful?
Following our latest GOAT vs GOAT in a major final, with the outcome having significant statistical and theoretical consequences that fuck with people's emotions, thoughts, and arguments, let's take a dive into this GOAT discussion that revolves around the Big 3. Remember that this is mainly a conversation had by fans who mostly come to …
GOAT Gas Incoming. . .
Just a heads-up that we will breakdown this pile of subjectivity later today: the Big 3 bomb squad that's decimated the history books, the records, tennis sanity and so forth. Mcshow is not pulling an MIA after this massive result at RG on Sunday. What I will try to do, as you know, is provide …
Don’t Worry: Two Things Can Be True
Covid-19 is a conspiracy, something the government (or Bill Gates) has us believe-in and respond to in order to execute another massive transfer of wealth. In other words, the virus is a distraction, so governments can impose further restrictions, to be passed into laws, against our freedoms, meanwhile carrying-out extensive financial "bail outs" for wealthy …
What 2018 Cincinnati Means
As I said in my post-Cincy Final post, the win in Cincy is huge for Novak on several fronts. I guess the two that stand-out are: A) this is everyone's favorite: that he has completed the Masters set, thus garnering him all kinds of praise and greatness; and B) that he really has confirmed his …
2008 Wimbledon v 2018 Wimbledon
What is the more significant Championships in terms of drama, legacy and history: Wimbledon 2008 or Wimbledon 2018? The focus of Wertheim's book and the subsequent documentary broadcast on Tennis Channel and available elsewhere is the 2008 final between Rafa and Roger. We know this, given the marketing for this recent piece marking the ten …
