Fuck ESPN

Like those assholes have the slightest idea what is good for our sport and what isn’t. Bob Ryan is an idiot.

Bob Ryan was raised on boxing. It will be another twenty years before that line of criticism fades.

All you need to know about PTI in ten seconds

Reali rules, Paige is almost always right, Bill and JA are LA homers and fuck Jay Mariotti.

Insulted his wife? Said horrible things about his wife?

And to everyone that likes Kevin ‘Unemployed’ Blackistone, you can have him. We’ll stick with MMA.

Brock can’t get on top of his wife without people feeling insulted for her, ha… :-/ It would have been Akiyama there would be no polemic.

I didn’t get that either.
Since when was having sex an insult?

I’ve realized (once again) that I have no idea what a “MMA fan” wants, or what it’s even supposed to be.

WTF is wrong with the Media and some people?

When Gonzaga looked like he literally killed CroCop w/that hi leg kick he still pounced on him afterward and hit him several times…just like the 9 milliion other times the same thing happens in MMA…the bottom line is unlress the ref jumps in (like when Babalou did not release that choke) the fight is not over and nothing is a late hit…Did Hendo know the fight was done…Probably, but whether it was adrelline or him sending a message…it was 200% legal and nothing should be said about it again. Now…his comments after could have been said differently…and that’s why there is even any attention being paid to this…but that was more emotion than anything too and fighters should be cut that slack.

Brock Lesnar did nothing wrong outside of the Budlight diss. He flipped off fans who were booing him (Don’t get me going on the lack of respect and intelligence some fans don’t have over here) and why shouldn’t he…He gave Frank a piece of his mind while in the middle of a massive high coming off the win (not any worse than Tito doing his grave digging routine), he said a great line about the Horse Shoe which was totally relevant towards (likes to talk to much) Frank (Who I actually love as a fighter), he dissed Bud Light which was stupid, but funny as hell, and he made a very PG Joke about him and his wife which she lol at was obviously not offended by at all…

I just don’t get it…

"Said those horrible things about his wife..."

Why do they let guys that obviously didn’t even watch an event, comment on it as if they know what they’re saying?? Brock said, “Hell, I might even get on top of my wife tonight!” I took that as, he was so excited he might not make her sit on top and do all the work.

If you’re going to cover a sport, get people who know what they’re talking about to not make it look like a joke. F*ck ESPN.

btw… gotta love Reali. He is legitimately funny and knows a TON about sports (every sport). That Jesse Spano line had me chuckling.

I appreciate that Tony Reali at least tries to bring it up a lot on the show even when the guys like Mariotti thumb their nose at it.

Reali rules,not the worst piece ive seen from main stream writers who dont watch mma,but still they were right about brock being out of line with the sponsor

What’s up with those points or whatever it is, that are incrementing while they are talking? What’s that about?

(I don’t know American media outside of blogs…)

Guys like Tony Reali, Josh Elliott and Max Kellerman are all young, talented journalists and TV personalities who are MMA fans. When your Bob Ryans and Tony Kornheisers are gone, these guys will do a good job covering MMA.
