I’m with Jolly.

Cracking jokes about Tanner going back to chopping down trees or being the white Kimbo Slice is fine.

But making fun of a mental illness, which addiction of any kind is, is crossing the line.

ok, I will lighten up.

But he didn’t make jokes about Tanner looking homeless or a shell of himself or even that he looked terrible. He said he was in a casino and had gambled half his purse away. If you think that is funny, fine. I don’t.

I guess we are just two different people that read this site for different reasons.

Lighten up, I don’t read comments to get facts/scoops (blackjack table Tanner), i read it for the humor.
He came into the cage looking homeless.
That is not the Tanner I ever want to think of.
He was a shell of himself and looked terrible.
If anyone wants to make some jokes about that feel free.
If no one did, I would not read the comments.

First let me say that I love this website. I read it everyday for the updates and opinions from the writers. I don’t always read the comments, but sometimes do. Mostly after a fight card I do read them to get the views of other fans. I often come into the website with an opinion but after reading the writers views and the comments made, I have found myself changing my opinion. I realize that maybe I wasn’t seeing the whole picture. etc. My point is that I am not an expert, nor will I ever be, and by keeping an open mind I am able to learn from others who enjoy this website and the comment section that is allowed.

That being said, I came here this morning and read all the comments, then left the website and read USAToday. The whole time in the back of my mind the comments were still rolling around in my head and I came back to post. Everyone of us who leaves a comment has something to offer. I have gotten much from others who comment. Everyone’s opinion is valued. If someone decides to post a comment poking fun at someones weakness, in todays case disease, then they can. It may be funny to some, but not to others. It was done in poor taste, it was low, it just wasn’t nice. Keep in mind this is just my opinion. What was the point? I understand if you make fun of his performance in the octagon, but not making fun of someone’s addictions. In turn, other posters address it in their own way, which starts a bunch of hateful comments. I hate that.

Sam wrote an article the other week after the EliteXC CBS card, and in the article he said something to the effect of some people don’t know where to draw the line with their comments, but that this is the internet and there is no line. How very true. I initially chose to ignore fightfans comments, but others chose to tell him how distasteful his post was. Instead of realizing his faux paux he still thinks it okay to post personal attacks that aren’t true. The post was a straight up lie, and he did not see Tanner in a casino gambling, etc. I am not sure, but I believe that can be construed as libel.

So, just a small request. Keep all the fight opinions coming, but not the personal attacks and lies that defame others. Help keep this site enjoyable and informative for others. And sure, anytime “the line” is crossed, just stand corrected and let it go. Please.

@ # 13. lol, U r right about Everything u said.What fight was that ref watching? I thought the Sanchez fight was pretty good and so was the stevens-fisher fight all the others were one sided and easy predictions, but all were worth the money. Rogan I think is getting hard to listen to him. They need to put Florian back in there to commentate.

Fightfan, why don’t you go back to Sherdog? You aren’t funny and your remarks are uncalled for.

As for CB being a contender…

I picked him to win the season, but it is evident that he is a target for submissions. I see no way he contends at 185, a division loaded with slick bjj guys.

Congrats to Amir, a guy with no pro fights wins TUF. Awesome.

nah man it’s not your fault tanner has an alcohol problem, but it is your problem that your an asshole. You don’t have the right to talk shit about anybody who has the balls to step in front of millions of people and fight, because you don’t do it, so shut up, you wouldn’t say it to his face cause he’d whip your ass so don’t say it from the saftey of your moms basement, loser!

fightfan,
I think that was meant as a compliment.
By the way,I’m a recovering alcoholic and I thought it was hilarious.

All hail the Amir-bar.

Evan Tanner is one of my favorite fighters because of his heart and solid game — Man, the dude is 39…put him in the octagon when he is 25 along with Grove and he rips him up in the first round GUARANTEED.. That man does not give up…& mad props to Rampage Jackson..Great fighter — but you gotta be kidding me, Forrest win by luck??? Dude, that guy is the real deal…I’m calling Forrest by an apesh*t flurry of punches to the head while Rampage is on the ground gettin’ beat down!! YEZZIRRRRRRRR
