Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News talked to Jay Glazer about his interview with Richie Incognito.

Raissman brings up a main criticism of the interview:

Still, the fact Glazer never asked Incognitio about the Dolphins golf outing incident, where he was accused of molesting a young female volunteer with a golf club, was a glaring, miserable omission. It definitely was a punch pulled. Glazer contended he raised the question but it was left on the cutting room floor. The interview lasted 45 minutes. Fox aired six.

“I wanted the interview to highlight racism, bullying, and the relationship between Richie and Jonathan,” Glazer said. “The golf thing had nothing to do with any of that and happened over a year ago.”

But watching Incognito having to deal with the golf question would have further opened a window into his soul. Now, his eyes are wide open. “He’s been beat down by all this….This thing has brought him to a whole other level with paparazzi and TV vans following him,” Glazer said. “I tried kidding with him that he’s become the Lindsay Lohan of sports. I don’t think he was amused.”

Glazer discussed his approach:

Glazer never got confrontational with Incognito. He didn’t muddy the waters by picking a fight. Many of his questions were pointed, like when he asked: “How do you tell America, how do you expect anybody in America to believe you’re not racist?”

“Look, I believe this story has gotten way out ahead of itself. People have jumped to conclusions. I’ve talked to everyone involved,” Glazer said during our conversation. “That’s why I have let everyone else do the talking. It’s not about what I think. I wanted the viewer at home to hear Richie and make up their own mind. What would the viewer want to know? That’s how I framed the questions.”
