<OT> Pete Rose

Did anyone here see the interview immediately following the centuries greatest 100 players? The nbc interviewer literally cross examined Pete Rose in front of millions of viewer. It was perhaps the most distasteful act I've ever seen. Rose had just received a tremendous ovation, by far the loudest, which echoed the sentiments of most americans -- Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame. The little weasel from nbc, whom I had never seen before, used the unique opportunity to delve into the unfortunate circumstances surrounding his IRS troubles from 10 years ago and his refusal to admit he bet on baseball. This was neither the place nor the time for such a discussion. Acts like this belong on Geraldo where one can choose if they want to witness such outrageous, disgusting "journalism" by not tuning in. To spring such trash on a worldwide audience enjoying a tremendous moment exceeds all bounds of decency and reasonableness. Pete Rose showed amazing restraint, I wanted to choke the son of a bitch, I can only imagine how he felt. I'm sorry for venting here, but that completely blew my mind. Did anyone else catch the interview?
