Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

unfortunately i heard he'd been removed from the viking/bills game..... most likely because of how he reacted to some of his naysayers on twitter.

Either way - he should be given more than just one chance.

Yep, looks like he was indeed pulled from the Vikings/Bills game.  (insert "it is all over" joke)

He was bad, yes, but the standard of commentary in the NFL is not high, and I think he could have gotten passably good with a bit more experience.  That said, you've got to be able to conduct yourself like a professional.  Goldie should count himself lucky if Fox lets him do UFC shows on Fox after behaving like that.

I honestly think that it was slightly better than when Ranallo does boxing commentating. Honestly you can do a drinking game when he either states the obvious or my favorite drops some racial jargon. The latest I remember is from when he was commentating on the I think Angulo fight and he literally stated that "Angulo going to the body as if it was a piñata filled with candy." I face palmed pretty hard at that one. Even then I wish it was just Al Bernstein commentating. 

But when I get upset I just remember and laugh at when Mirko made him basically **** his pants in an awesome prank.

I like the way that Goldberg and Rogan work together; it reminds me of every Olympic sports broadcasting, where they have one dumbass commentator asking/saying stupid **** and then an intelligent commentator who actually knows the sport inside and out.

I'm on the side that never got the hate for Goldie. Most of his mistakes are due to lack of experience in martial arts. I'm much more annoyed by the sports commentators that know better and still say stupid ****, like Jeff Van Gundy and Bill Walton (although most of Walton's mistakes make for great laughs)

I've definitely noticed an improvement in Goldie's MMA knowledge. At least he's learning.

What the ****. V/H/S: Viral is awful. ******* awful. i was a huge fan of V/H/S, thought V/H/S 2 did a great job as well. But Viral? What the ****! ****! There is no redeeming quality here. There isn't really any good 'short' that makes this movie worth watching. What a goddamn disappointment. Nothing more than a measly cash grab here.

@hd Though they were intentionally misleading with Cap. It's Civil War not Serpent Society (considering how stupid the Serpent Society is, that's probably a good thing).

The Serpent Society thing was just to mess with people. RDJ came out on stage shortly after to announce it is indeed Civil War.

Grispi and his wife were on Dr. Phil. I'm sorry, but his wife seems like the most stuck up *****. Holy ****. What a dumb ****. I seriously want to punch her in the neck.
