Simply disgusted.....that is all I have to say.

I'll go with Corey Pavin on this one. Corey has a lot of integrity as a person and a player. Gray has a bad rep for a reason.

I could not have said that any better. Gray should be shunned by all the players not only this week but afterwards. He would be more suited to report for the National Enquirer.

Well said, he has a history of being an uncouth, overzealous, reporter. Pavin might have said something that could have been misinterpreted, but anyone with common sense would know that the Ryder Cup captain isn't going to choose the captain's picks until after the PGA Championship.

seriously? i think he knows who he's going to pick already if the rankings stay the same, i also think he said that he'll choose Tiger but is trying to backtrack a bit. obviously thats all in my opinion

I can't stand Corey Pavin (I think he's a sniveling little turd), but that being said, I think Gray was out of line for openly confronting him like that.

Gray is always trying to sensationalize his stories. Cory might do just as well to let Gray spout off.

I channel surf when he comes on the air, he is a tool. I was never a Pete Rose fan but what he did to him that night was inexcusable. He'll end up on American Gladiators before its all said and done.

I saw that interview as well. I wanted to kick the TV screen the way Gray conducted himself. Im not a Rose fan either, but did feel sorry for him.......... kinda.

It's the black and white spy from Spy vs. Spy. I haven't decided who to root for, but wouldn't want to go on a long road trip with either one.

I agree, and I think Gray is an a$$hat! He turned the Pete Rose "interview" into an inquest. Remember the MLB players refusing to talk to him post game??

If you look at the last 2 digits in my username you can probably guess what I think of Jim Gray (Pete wore #14). I always wear 14 when I play sports. Started when I was young because I play sports the way Pete played baseball (play hard, hustle, etc.). Off the playing field, Pete has been an embarrassment. As for Pavin/Gray, even if Gray was originally correct, his behavior as made him unbelievable. Who's going down now? Wasn't he also the tool that was involved in that deplorable LeBron James debacle called "The Decision"?

Corey Pavin isn't the warmest or nicest personality around but when I compare that to Jim Gray's lackluster track record, I'll stand on Pavin's side with this one. Gray is the master of this type of garbage.

The best explanation for what Pavin said was that "of course" he'd pick Tiger. Even if that's true, you can't report that as promising the pick to anyone. At least, not if you're an honest reporter...

Don't know the first thing about the guy, but puzzled as to what he did wrong here? If DJ was late and did get handed the penalty, what's wrong with reporting it? Did he editorialize on DJ's brainpower or his caddy's (in)competence, or something? Must be some details missing.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
