What's your read on Jim Gray as an interviewer?

[holmcall]

I have my own feelings but I'd like to see how they stack up against others before commenting.

He is a cunt

He is a cunt

Yup total cunt

[Beanflicker]

Pompous asshole.

Wants to be the hard nosed, confrontational, "ask the tough questions" guy but just comes off like a douche.

[holmcall]

I've heard enough. He is a right cunt who was told off years ago by Kostya Tzsyu. Then he tried to embarrass Pete Rose at Pete Rose Day in Cincinnati. Then he interviewed Jumna while the poor guy was on Queer Street and managed to get him suspended for a year. The list goes on and on. He tried to make an issue out of the head butt in the Sotto Karass fight.


He is a foul rat who lives in the sewers.

Jim Gray didn't have shit to do with Juanma getting suspended. It was Juanma stupidity that got him suspended. And him being on queer street didn't have shit to do with it cuz he repeated the same shit the next day. It was only when was threatened with a lawsuit and suspension that he bitched up and apologized.

Don't like him, never have and probably never will.
It's the way he keeps asking the same question in different ways attempting to get the answer he wants.

Jim Grey to Chad Dawson.."So what do you think it will take to climb back up the mountain and get back"...."hard work and dedication and I'm willing to do it" I mean I just took a year off but still wouldn't make the weight and came in at unofficial career high 202 lbs tonight, but yeh, hard work

Grey..."So, do you think it will be difficult"

[mikeeod]

I think he sucks. I loved it when James Toney slapped the microphone out of his hand n attacked him. He was classless when he went after Pete Rose, and I loved it when prime Johnny a Tapia told him to apologize when Gray was interviewing after one of his wins (Gray was visibly uncomfortable, cause Tapia was crazy). Kostya also handled himself well when he asked Gray to stop being rude to him.

It is not so much what the jerk says, it is how he says it.

You're right it's a combination of traits that turn me off. Just can't seem to get passed Jim to listen to his questions or commentary.
It can't be me, surely! LOL
