why all the hate for Rogan?

**gref** · Posted On: 4/09/2008 10:21am

how can you not like joe rogan. the man has been commentating since ufc 12. the guy has been nothing but good to MMA. he's definitely got a passion for the sport, and if you can apperciate that, i'm sorry.

maybe they'll put him in the cage sometime for a ppv :happy11:

edit: jim brown was the ****!

He will call bullshit on a fighter during the post-interviews. I respect that. As for commentary, I generally ignore him, but that's better than when I didn't like him. That I owe to Eddie Bravo.

BTW, Kracker. Rogan>Madden at commentary? Really.

Dude, Bill Goldberg is bad, but "The Fight Professor", Stephen Quadros, or whatever the **** his name, is an abomination.

Mauro Ranallo is a hilarious ************. A god among men.

I **** you not, my friends and I started a game involving "take a shot every time Rogan says 'he just got rocked'" and two UFC's later Rogan says "Oh he just got rocked! .... For those of you playing the UFC drinking game, now's the time to drink." This was decreed to mean that we had to take two additional shots.

so I'm pretty pro-Rogan

Rogan is giving away his isolation tank so one of his fans can have better drug trips.

If that's not awesome. I don't know what is.

Joe Rogan was working with the UFC Pre-Zuffa, Pre-Dana White, and Pre-Fear Factor.

I can not, and will not, argue with this. Bas is a God and needs to be on TV as much as possible.

Oh...and my favorite clip of Rogan is...

Other than that, I think he does a good job.

I'd have LOVED to have seen him whip out a joint and smoke it while talking to the DEA guy. That would have fucking RULED!! Seriously, **** the DEA with a rusty fondue fork. If it was a sector of police who did a somewhat worthwhile service like catching rapists or something I might have watched that show but **** I hate seeing tax dollars utterly wasted in a futile war to keep people from having the choice to do things with their own bodies. ****, just legalize everything already and get something useful with dollars being wasted. Maybe start a welfare program that doesn't suck and people will stop doing hard drugs on their own.
