I've heard that before. I forget who else couldn't stand them. Was it last year's USO? Or someone who attended New Haven last year?

I thought Ullrich was terrific. Something about their enthusiasm being awesome, but please respect the players.

I work in New Haven and I have to say it has been really bad. I sent a few posts last year about how embarrased I was to be originally rooting for James when during his semifinal match with Paul Henri the block was OUT OF CONTROL. Clearly affected the outcome as did some cameramen who rolled onto the court when PHM was STILL in the set only to be admonished by the chair umpire who should have done much more but I have no idea what one could do in that scenario when a camera crew invades a service returners space. Pam Shriver was even a tool in the crowd. The only saving grace was James' mom and brother who were directly in front of me and very civilized. I will never root for him with the block present again and maybe the olympics was a karmic what goes around comes around.
