I am not nor have I ever been Steve Cox.
That maybe true based on the order of voices in your head. So the question really is "Is Steve Cox or has Steve Cox ever been Grendel"

Wait, what?
In spite of my opinion though, seems like there are quite a few people here that are questioning the authenticity of Cox's apology (as well as comments left on the RacerX website). There is a lack of transparency in the text... something that could be remedied by a video interview. Furthermore, if you did the interview at RacerX, then I'm sure you could put a couple video cameras up and capture this interview. Also, people obviously follow and like to hear your opinion DC, as well as Coxs', so why not put the audience right there in the studio with you? Especially, when it's getting this much attention. Just thinking out loud.
He also acknowledged that he knew he might come off sounding like a dick. He did (IMO).
That's where the failure is. It is possible to ask tough questions with attacking or simply being argumentative.
It's like a musician that is technically perfect, but there is no emotion to the music and nobody really enjoys the performance. Cox is very bright and technically talented at writing, but, in interviews atleast, it's painful to read.
I liked the interview, it showed Blake has some balls to sack up and answer the questions.
I think RacerX handled it, and did it with a bit of humor, which was funny.
I liked it, and although it was done a little differently, we got to the end that was needed - It was a racing incident, and Blake had no ill intent.
Race on!
It's not that big of deal, at least for me... and to those that are bagging on Racer X for the 5 min with Cox, find something important to complain about.
I was talking to Steve, over the phone, and I was reading off my monitor the questions he had asked Blake, but tweaking them to fit for his interview as the subject itself, rather than the crash. Again, the point was to put him on the hot seat for a little bit, and any laughing he did [Laughs] was of the nervous kind, because I don't think he realized at first what I was doing (I am on the other side of the country, and we did not plan the deal, I just wanted to do it).
Once he figured it out and seemed to understand the point, I finished by calling him Blake, which was my own little joke, totally unnecessary... Like this whole explanation, I guess.
Maybe if that part was on video, it would have been more obvious.

Don't ask tough questions, you're caving in to the factories and being an industry shill.
Ask tough questions and be tough on a rider, you're being a dick and mistreating the riders
Ask the same question over and over again just reworded to make the rider look like a dick and then you're being a dick.
And obviously the more vocal people in this thread (yourself included) are just being petty and spiteful.
What does that make you for liking his interview? It is already well established that youre a Cox brown noser. As far as me being vocal, remember I have 4 posts on this topic, you have 6
And I thought putting Steve on the spot was funny and it was DC's way of publicly addressing the original interview. He got his wrist slapped at the end.
