Good Interview,

I am was really wondering about the steroid issue not being raised also. Great idea to address that in the responses. The background was helpful and does adjust my original thoughts of the interview. Judgment call on your part… OK, I agree with it. I have heard the official stance a dozen times, I did not need it again. Good Interview. I was especialy suprised by the Xience info. Are they really stiffing athletes sponsorship dollars, wow. I would like to read an article on that.

Thanks Eric I look forward to reading more of your stuff in the future.

Thank you Johnny and Kyle, I greatly appreciate your comments. I really did not think it was that crucial to try to jam a roid question in there during my short window of opportunity, but obviously others felt differently. So its nice to finally see some fans that understand. Furthermore, if anyone out there sees any other recent video interviews with Sherk (as in the one from mmanews.com) you will see that none of them involve a “steroid scandal” type question being addressed either. Sherk just says that his appeal hearing is coming up, and that hes confident it will get overturned. Not exactly earth shattering news. In fact, that particular interview was almost identical to mine. Thanks again guys.

-Eric

It’s nice to see the Randy revolution finally inspired someone to talk about Xyience’s failure to pay their sponsorships. I have been trying to tell folks forever that they are up to no good:

And Sam should apologize for being a jerk. “This type of mistake will not be repeated.” Did Eric say he was going to ask that question? Was his headline misleading? Did it say “Steroid Scandal Blown Open”. It was an interview with Sherk. That is what was presented. Good questions about B.J. Penn and a little slap to Xyience. 4 minute interview done well.

Who cares about Eric not asking Sherk about the suspension. That has been played to death, any athlete suspected of something like that has a canned answer for that kind of question anyway. I appreciate his use of time to ask questions that would definitely be answered. He wasn’t there to do a Sherk steroid expose. He wasn’t going to trick him into saying anything. Eric would have asked “What’s going on with your suspension?” Sherk would have answered “I have never taken steroids. We filed an appeal and are waiting for the hearing so this can be over with.” Would that have made the interview way better? No. Nice job Eric.

Sherk is a roid users…end of story. Just because he miscalculated the detection time does not mean he is innocent.

I’ve heard reports from various people stating that he has mentioned while out clubbing or whatever that his case is dependent on the supplements being tainted. So, he’ll be suspended even if he wins according to most commissions.

The UFC is Xyience.

The Fertitta’s are shodow owners, or I just made that up, one of the 2.
