that just makes him funnier, most of these boxers are idiots anyway
and pushing a '******' Boxer's buttons with prodding questions after a bout makes him even ******er. He always failed at being a no nonsense interviewer by overdoing it.
The Pete Rose Interview
The Most Notable Interview Of Gray's Sportscasting Career Occurred With Former Baseball Player Pete Rose. During Game 2 Of The 1999 World Series, Rose Was Introduced As A Member Of The Major League Baseball All-century Team. After The Ceremony, Gray (who Was Covering The Series For Nbc) Pointedly Queried Rose About Allegations Of ******** On Baseball, Which He Repeatedly Denied:[5]
“ Jim Gray: Pete, Now Let Me Ask You. It Seems As Though There Is An Opening, The American Public Is Very Forgiving. Are You Willing To Show Contrition, Admit That You Bet On Baseball And Make Some Sort Of Apology To That Effect?
Pete Rose: Not At All, Jim. I'm Not Going To Admit To Something That Didn't Happen. I Know You're Getting Tired Of Hearing Me Say That. But I Appreciate The Ovation. I Appreciate The American Fans Voting Me On The All-century Team. I'm Just A Small Part Of A Big Deal Tonight.
Gray: With The Overwhelming Evidence In That Report, Why Not Make That Step...
Rose: No. This Is Too Much Of A Festive Night To Worry About That Because I Don't Know What Evidence You're Talking About. I Mean, Show It To Me...
Gray: Pete, Those Who Will Hear This Tonight Will Say You Have Been Your Own Worst Enemy And Continue To Be. How Do You Respond To That?
Rose: In What Way Are You Talking About?
Gray: By Not Acknowledging What Seems To Be Overwhelming Evidence.
Rose: Yeah, I'm Surprised You're Bombarding Me Like This. I Mean I'm Doing An Interview With You On A Great Night, A Great Occasion, A Great Ovation. Everybody Seems To Be In A Good Mood. And You're Bringing Up Something That Happened 10 Years Ago ... This Is A Prosecutor's Brief, Not An Interview, And I'm Very Surprised At You.
Gray: Some Would Be Surprised That You Didn't Take The Opportunity.
