Nice interview.

But poker?? Yeah, those are some world class athletes there. Remember a couple of years ago when they wanted poker in the olympics? I wonder how many of them could pass the olympic drug testing? Seems like every time I watch a poker tourney, they are talking about how many times player X has been in rehab.

He had some interesting insights about pro football vs. mma, including athlete attitudes and injuries. Don’t know where his fighting career goes, and I’m still a little skeptical about atheletes who turn to mma as a fallback after their careers in other sports fall through, but he’s a thoughtful guy.

A good, interesting enough interview.

But do you really think poker is a sport? That is what sticks with me from that feature.

Sam you’ve done it again. Great interview with the former football player.

Only thing I didn’t agree with in the interview was how Marcus was all for the idea of iron ring.

To me Iron Ring is just stand up boxing with MMA gloves on. That’s how they are trying to make it. I think they should have just made it a boxing show to be honest. Kinda like the contender.
