		<description>I know this is a little late, but I did listen to the EG podcast.  It&#039;s always fun listening to him chat with someone who is even more batshit insane than he is.

If you haven&#039;t checked it out yet, please do, because John Perretti&#039;s name has just popped up at the top of the page in the context of telling Chuck Liddell that he should keep fights standing if he intended to keep his job.

There&#039;s no question why this guy no longer has a job at UFC.</description>

		<description>&quot;Leslie, I thought it would be an easy win for Petruzelli if he took it to the ground. Petruzelli’s not known for his ground game, but he’s at least competent. Kimbo is not.&quot;

3 of his 4 losses were to submissions. The only reason I can think of people assuming he has a ground game is because he&#039;s a weak looking white guy. He&#039;s a striker first, and more skilled (obviously) at striking than Kimbo. If EXC wanted to fix this fight the first mistake was putting Seth in it at all. Giving him a KO bonus (or for the tinhats a &quot;bribe&quot; to stand up) would be even more idiotic looking at his record and background.

Speaking of Bush though, if people were half as concerned or skeptical about him as they were a guy who WON a 14 second fight, that lying, torturing, murdering SOB would never have gotten a second term. You might say it has nothing to do with sports, but a lot of these mainstream journalists lionized Pat Tillman when he died but failed to do the follow up report on how the military covered up the facts of his death and mistreated his family because they were atheists. Glad they got on THIS important issue of some clown with pink hair misspeaking about a fight he should have easily one regardless.</description>

		<description>did anyone ever think that SPIKE TV might have something to do with why junie is still on their show. they produce tuf, so im sure they have alot of pull as to who does or who doesnt get kicked off of the show. they know he is a ratings bonanza. plus he IS on a reality show, not actually a ufc fighter yet. comparing his situation to kimb-gate is desperate.</description>

		<description>This is a great video, and it lays out the reasons for why the news is such a scandal.

I&#039;m sure White&#039;s glad he didn&#039;t sign Kimbo before EliteXC did.  You know he wanted to, because he could&#039;ve made a little money off of him.  Granted, Kimbo would probably have had the exact same results as Sean Gannon (fight someone mediocre and lose), except he would have been more marketable and maybe would have been given a second chance.

I do agree with Justin LAWRENCE that the UFC&#039;s promotion of Junie&#039;s issues is rather deplorable.  I might be somewhat biased, though, as I purposely skip &quot;Ultimate Fighter&quot; because I think the whole concept of reality TV is to encourage people to act stupid for fame and/or money.

And I don&#039;t think the Hammill/Bisping fight was fixed; I think it was poorly judged.</description>

		<description>Was actually just thinking about the presidential thing.

liken politicians to promoters, Probably hard to find a straight one.  It just amuses me when I see the finger pointed.

		<description>President Bush still has a 24% approval rating.  No matter how much something is a pure failure, there will be those who support it.

EliteXC is a 100% failure from an organizational standpoint.  CBS &amp; Showtime would be better off signing on the UFC and having legit fights on both of their channels.</description>
