Seriously you guys, when I heard that I laughed so hard... for like 20 minutes non-stop. Gonzaga... pwns Cro Cop.... pffttt! Ah this is ridiculous now, I need to stop “Did Dana say this right after a session of Halo 2 multiplayer or World of Warcraft?”

I'd ask the same for Summerslam, but I don't want to miss Super China Buffet Day. And buys predictions?

The article summarizes the radio piece but misses some significant detail and does not really capture the tone of the piece.

Un-freakin-believable. Did Dana say this right after a session of Halo 2 multiplayer or World of Warcraft?

He isn't one of the great announcers like Gordon Solie or Bill Wallace, but he is ok. Oh, and, GO CRANE GO!...GO CRANE GO!..GO CRANE GO! Put an end to this clown tonight, please.

The guy can't just step out of being an announcer and give a legit interview. It is like he is always doing his shtick.... Unless that is how he talks to his friends... Then that is even more scary. I know a lot of the hardcore fan base enjoys his commentary, but he has negative appeal to a casual fan base. Especially with that god awful Canadian Accent. Sorry if this sounds like bashing, but how can somebody be in broadcasting since the age of 16 and not have that accent fixed already? It's no different then a southern accent in America. Unless you are announcing NASCAR or Bull Riding, it just doesn't fly. Heck, Bill Walton turning himself from a stumbling idiot (with words) to a respectable announcer for the NBA..... End Rant..... As for UFC 74..... Besides the two main events, I'm basically indifferent to the rest of the PPV fights. Nothing really peaks my interest. UFC 75 & 76 are much better cards to me overall. I kind of hope the main card fights all end early so we can see the fights that actually do interest me.... Like Babalu/Heath and Guida/Aurelio.....
