ESPN's Pam Shriver regrets commentCourtesy
Miami Herald
(June 25, 2010) ESPN analyst Pam Shriver caught some heat this week for responding, both on the air and off, to an angry remark from James Blake during Blake's first-round loss to Robin Haase on Tuesday at Wimbledon. Shriver was talking during a shot in the second set, which Blake mis-hit. Blake turned and said to her, ``It's amazing you played tennis. I can still hear you.''
Shriver said on air: ``I'm way above the court, but evidently, he can hear me. He's got rabbit ears.'' Blake then said, ``You want to be a [jerk] about it and act like I'm at fault?'' ESPN then quickly cut away to show Rafael Nadal's match. Off the air, Shriver later told Blake, during his match, to ``concentrate'' -- a comment she obviously should not have made. (She later said she regrets saying that.) Shriver explained on air that she didn't know Blake could hear her.
