While in this case, I do think his relationship ( and offseason ) with this particular woman has affected, in combination with his age, AND I secretly also think Andy being a long term mastermind game planner, his performance this season, the broad blanket statement, "women weaken legs" is very stupid.
No shit.
If I heard my father* say it once, I heard him say it a thousand times throughout my childhood and teens, "girls will ruin your athletics and your grades".
Nonetheless and fortunately, I got over it.
* "father" This is the same man who, (in the late 60s) after watching my older brother play all 3 years of Jr High on an all-White basketball team that took first in the city league 2 of those 3 years, was now forced to watch him sit on the bench as a sophomore in high school playing behind several Black players, stood up during a game and yelled in a loud voice:
"Pretty soon, it's going to come down to whether Our ______ can beat your ______"! Much to my chagrin, since I was sitting there next to him. My father was a big and imposing person, and if anyone took umbrage, you could't tell.
