The sports talk world's current 24 hour news cycle is all abuzz over the Jim Gray-Corey Pavin Brouhaha. Two questions: who cares, and why take Jim Gray seriously?
Until now, when I think of Jim Gray, I think of two things.
One, his antagonistic interview with Pete Rose a few years back that did the seemingly impossible: it made Pete Rose a sympathetic figure.
Two, his pimping "interview" of LeBron James last month on that ESPN "news" show wherein James announced his move to Miami. After that shameless exhibition, the words "journalist" and "Jim Gray" should never be mentioned in the same sentence again.
Now, he gets into it and threatens to take down and 50-something year old golfer? I guess we next see him with Vince McMahon on some WWE Extravaganza.
