DO NOT MESS WITH JIM GRAY

I hate the guy. His interviews are always awkward and stupid. Vijay Singhs interview at the AT&T; was a classic awkward one

According to this article it sounds like the argument stemmed from Gray trying to talk to DJ about it during his round. What a tool.

He began to question DJ and his caddy about the penalty during the round.  Had he waited until after they were done, it probably wouldn't have been as big a deal.  A reporter walking up to a player and his caddy during a round and asking about the penalty they took is tantamount to a shoving a mic in someone's face during a perp walk, there's absolutlely no place for it in a professional tournament.

I wish Pete Rose would have laid a beatdown on him for the stunt he pulled in '99.  Gray is someone who needs to be put in his place in the worst way.

OK, agreed. That's a total dick move.

Ironically, the Gray interview with Rose, and Pete's professionalism during it, probably had a more positive influence on Rose's image than Gray was intending.

If the story about Gray sticking his hand in Pavin's wifes face is true I would have smacked him around then but if I was DJ's caddie he would have been eating that mic real quick. The guy is terrible him and Mike Lupica should get their own show on versus at midnight so no one would have to suffer through it.

Hopefully TGC will permanently cut ties with him. But you never know with the networks as there are lot's of the idiots still on the air.

I havent known anything about jim gray but I saw him interview tiger a couple months ago and it was awkward. heres an interview with a boxer though, haha (warning-curse word in the interview.

Is this the same caddie who let Dustin hit out of a bunker on the 72nd hole of the PGA Championship? Same guy that abandoned Dustin in the same situation?

The caddie needs to grow a pair.

Good defense is a good offense. Seems that is what is going on here. Deflect anger to a third party, right out of the I farked up play book.
