I can never understand why such people do such ridiculous and obvious self-destructive stuff. It's particularly noticeable in sports - people making millions a year then go drink-driving or beat up their wife or do the most stupid, unacceptably PC things. There was just an ESPN guy in the US did the same sexist nonsense and got instantly fired. What are those people thinkin... well, obviously they don't think, but how can they be so stupid to do something they KNOW is throwing it all away?

 

Too bad, Gray was quite good, the little I remember of his announcing on the Thai-US screens. But he's an idiot. All he had to do was NOT be an idiot and he couldn't manage it.

Probably wanted out of his contract.

Yeah, probably. Think about it, who could be happy being paid 1.7 million pounds a year to watch professional sports and yack off the top of his head about it? He probably wanted to help starving orphans in Africa or manage some Council flats, something like that - much more rewarding.
