OT: Post game panel

[cruzer]

Watching the post game panel discussion with Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez and Pete Rose. Pete looks like he was stuffed and embalmed. Said absolutely nothing. It was actually embarrassing.

Kinda felt bad for the guy although I'm sure he picked up some nice coin just to sit there.

He is Pete Rose. But I am convinced in the history of great athletes, he ranks among the truly dumbest of all time. I don't mean that necessarily because of his gambling actions, I am talking actual IQ. I really think he is an imbecile.

I saw a video of Pete Rose with those 2 guys, absolutely schooling them, they where in awe, discussing how to hit, standing there with a bat explaining it, like a physics professor. This dude knows baseball, it's a shame he screwed up so bad, Some young players should be benefitting from this guy, at least as a batting coach.

Helluva baseball pwayer.

There was enough star power without rose

Fox could have easily found a replacement that could string two sentences together.....

I lost all respect for him when he got the Rikishi stinkface. He was probably hurting for cash at the time though...

Pete Rose is truly one of the most tragic figures in sports history. No player ever played the game as hard as Pete Rose and very few played it as well. As a Pirate fan I despised Pete Rose because he was always that burr in the saddle.

His obvious downfall was his gambling which was an addiction like cocaine or booze. I have always been of the opinion that Pete Rose's gambling problem, while worthy of his banishment from baseball should not have kept him out of the Hall of Fame. The HOF has plenty of drug abusers, alcohol abusers and woman abusers. Pete Rose bet on baseball games, which was prohibited. But Rose never fixed baseball games, which has been the great sin against the game since the Black Sox scandal of 1919.

The man gave everything he had every minute he played. There have only been a handful of players that can say that. I don't like him and he was an obnoxious man but he should be in the HOF.

What if he became a serial killer after he quit the game? Still HOF worthy?

The fact that there is a thread like this and countless other discussions about Rose's antics is EXACTLY the reason for Fox to always to pay him to be on the panel as long as he is willing. Without him, it becomes a forgettable conversation and much easier to flip the channel.

Is OJ still in the Pro football HOF?

Yes and their rules have been criticized, as a result. The Football Hall rules state that only on field performance is allowed to be factored to determine membership/exclusion.
