Rose Reportedly Out at Fox
Fox Sports has severed its relationship with MLB analyst Pete Rose, according to The Hollywood Reporter, ending his two-year tenure with the outlet. Fox originally intended to bring Rose back for another season, but elected to part ways in the wake of allegations that the former Phillies star had an affair with a girl younger than 16 in the 1970s. In a statement to Sports Illustrated, Fox said it would not have any comment on the report. [Hollywood Reporter 8.31; SI.com 8.31]
