Over his career a lot of people disliked Rose for his cockiness and arrogance. Personally, I've never really had a problem with "cocky" people who could put their money where their mouth is, and walk the walk.

I've actually been sympathetic to Rose, and understood his bitterness, which he has not handled well. Every now and then, he pops up and says or does something stupid, and my sympathy for him is wearing thin.

He was a great ball player but when the gambling thing happened that was it for me, he’s got no one to blame but himself.
