Broadcaster Jim Gray, to @ESPNBOOK, on "The Decision":
All of the questions I asked were very legitimate questions, and for anybody to say otherwise, we're just going to disagree. Okay, I did ask about the nails. That was a throwaway line that I probably shouldn't have done, but he was a nail biter and it was meant as a joke.
But all the people I was working on this project with knew all that was coming. Not only did they know it, they wanted it and agreed with it. Okay? So it's convenient for them to say, after the fact, "We would have preferred that we got it to earlier, but ultimately it's in the interviewer's hands."
Well, they were in cooperation with the interviewer. So to throw me under the bus and say, like: "Our hands are off this. We didn't pay him. He's not a part of it. We wouldn't have had anything to do" Come on!"
