Shark: I Was Too Unpredictable For Fox

Greg Norman let Tim Rosaforte hitch a ride in his Range Rover en route to the Miami International Boat Show, allowing the Shark to clarify his take on getting let go by Fox Sports after one year.

Rosaforte writes for Golf World:

Norman clearly wanted to talk about his Fox dismissal, saying he was “totally broadsided” by the decision and that it was “totally contradictory to what I was told by the USGA, and many others within Fox headquarters and a previous Fox guy that was head of sports.”

That reference was to David Hill, a fellow Aussie who in 1994 promised Norman that Fox would televise his proposed World Tour. “I got nothing but compliments from the right people that knew what’s going on,” Norman said. However, he added, “I thought I was handcuffed, to tell you the truth. There was a lot of stuff I wanted to say, but the final comment they told me [was that] I was too unpredictable. I thought that’s what they want you to do in that role.”

Unless the unpredictable waivered between sounding bored and going silent?
