This gem (read the other gaffes from Billy Packer and Bob Knight) about Doug Gottlieb from the folks who run the swimsuit issue:
In a cringe-worthy introduction on Thursday night, the CBS analyst dropped
an odd reference to race when he was introduced by host GregGumbel. Said Gottlieb: “Cream rising to the crop. I don’t know why you guys asked me, I’m just here to bring diversity to the set here. Give the kind of white man’s perspective on things from the point guard position.” Colleagues Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed awkwardly while Greg Anthony looked at Gottlieb in a similar manner that U.S. officials look at North Korea. Gottlieb later apologized for the statement, saying, “It was not a smart thing to say and I apologize.” Barkley bailed him out as well. ” I want to say something about Doug Gottlieb. He made a joke earlier tonight and people are going crazy. All those idiots on Twitter, which I would never ever do. Listen: me, Kenny and Greg Anthony and Greg Gumbel did not take that personally. So all you people at home who’ve got no life and are talking bad about Doug Gottlieb, get a life. It’s over with. It’s no big deal.”
Way to go, Doug.
