Yeah, actually, Gimel was the MC during the Pete Sampras ceremony last night in L.A. and he definitely got some boos along with applause when he was introduced. So I guess he's not out of the doghouse yet. Basically, he went on a radio show last year and called Kournikova some bad names, talked about her sexually, called some other WTA players (by name) "sex pots" etc. You know, the kind of stuff bloggers talk about ;) Seriously though, his remarks were not received well by many people - Tennis Channel and WTT gave him some fines/suspensions and Sports Illustrated dropped him from its roster of tennis writers. I don't think he can talk about women's tennis on TC, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Here's some more info: http://tinyurl.com/lulhsl Hi Nicole!

Better in general than this year's set, I think. the sandwich one was funny, I loved Gimelstob's little bobble away at the end of the challenge video, it's so silly. That being said, I'm relatively new to tennis, and I know very little about Gimelstob....why is he so disliked? haha I loved that series last year.

The dates on all the videos show that they've been up for almost a year, I guess the production team was proud of the work they did. Justin is great because he's so willing to be in on the joke and he plays it perfectly. My favorite was the world's greatest tennis player mug commercial, which the Wall Street Journal had for a while. Too bad we can't see that one again. Hopefully, the USTA will put Justin back to work, it's obvious he's learned his lesson in the last 12 months. Thanks for posting these.
