Well, it’s official: Justin Gimelstob isn’t getting any from a woman ever again

Thermocaster found this and, man, is it a good one.

If you don’t know him, we recap: Justin Gimelstob was a mediocre-to-poor tennis player who made a career out of acting stupid, goofy, and generally making a fool out of himself (in a mid-90’s US Open, he went on USA during a rain delay to ask actress Alicia Silverstone on a date. Shockingly, she said no). His moronosis got him a tv gig with ESPN and The Tennis Channel (think Jessica Simpson calling Football).

But his comments on former women’s pro/model/sex symbol/everything Anna Kournikova, well, just read on. They came on “The Junkies” radio show on Washington DC’s 106.7 FM WJFK:

“I have no attraction to her because she’s such a douche… I wouldn’t mind having my younger brother, who’s a kind of a stud, nail her and then reap the benefits”

Ok, Justin, quit while you’re ahead. Wait …

“I just despise her to the maximum level just below hate … (She’s a) bitch …”

And then he said he wanted to make her cry. Then he asked her to call JP Ricciardi (ok, the last part isn’t true … but read on for the rest of Justin’s rant. Believe me: It’s worth it).

So you’d think Justin would stop there? Oh come on: He claimed women’s tennis players don’t have social skills because “they don’t go to high school, they don’t go to parties”. And then he got on a roll talking about other players.

Leggy 22-year-old pro Nicole Vaidisova?

“A well developed young lady”

21-year-old Tatiana Golivin?

“A sexpot”.

Uh oh … um, 17-year-old Alize Cornet?

“A little sexpot”

Usually there is a spot where the brain translates “enough” to the mouth. Unfortunately, Justin’s brain is still in the shower.

Here’s the background: Gimelstob is playing World Team Tennis this summer and went on a media tour promoting the Washington Kastles (don’t have a clue what that means) team. According to Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post, Gimelstob molded each appearance into what he thought the interviewer wanted: With Steinberg, he talked blogs. With another writer, he played tennis. And the Junkies are a morning shock jock show so, well, you get the idea.

Well, you do. Justin? He’s lost staring at a Sweet N Low packet.

Of course, Justin had to make amends after the ATP Tour and the World Team Tennis folks nearly ripped off his freaking head (btw, did we tell you Gimelstob is on the ATP board of directors? Yeah, good move guys).

“There is no excuse, and I am extremely disappointed in myself,” Gimelstob said before telling everyone he’ll donate money to the Women’s Sports Federation.

The rub? Gimelstob’s team will play Kournikova’s in Women’s Team Tennis this summer. Hopefully Justin will keep his little brother away.
