Jim Gray or Tom Farrey?

By Tangotiger, 04:53 PM

Who makes your skin crawl more?

Jim Gray is the last guy you want at your bachelor party.  There’s a time and place for everything, and on an occasion deemed to celebrate the best players of the century, that’s not the time to pick one guy out, and go and look into someone’s closet looking for a gotcha moment.

Tom Farrey is ESPN’s answer to Lou Dobbs.  I’m sure these two guys, put in the exact same conditions and walking in the exact same shoes as Tejada, would have behaved differently, because, gosh-darn it, they are superior human beings to Miguel.

Straighten me out.
