Forrest on Rome Friday

Just heard Rome say he is talking MMA with Forrest Griffin tomorrow. I think he is talking about the radio show but I'm not sure.

Rome always has great fighting guests. Forrest is probably the most exciting interview around. The guy is as funny as they come.

Spurs?

No prob, Rome usually gives great interviews. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't listen to his show.

It will be on the Radio show, Rome said they are going to talk Forrest's book and more

yeah its me farmer! figured ihatethespurs was a name i picked before i was on the mma boards...


just keep calling me spurs tho haha

Never seen a a boring forrest interview.

just a reminder, Forrest is coming up at the top of the hour, Rome just said so.

Rome is on espn radi right?

never mind got the stream

Forrest is awesome, great interview. The guy is so honest and has a good sense of humor. lol at him wanting to fight O'Rielly and Maher. Jim Rome paraphrased his book as "How not to be a tool"

Great interview. Said he would retire in 5 years. Coolest dude in the world.

Damn I missed it. Maybe I can catch a link somewhere

… during his radio show today:

“It’s been a week since Brock Lesnar opened up Frank Mir’s face and then went WWE after the fight. And the debate rages on! Is Lesnar good or bad for the sport? WEC Featherweight Champion Mike Brown says Lesnar is bringing the one thing the sport probably doesn’t need … hillbillies: ‘normal sports fans or MMA fans, I don’t think they’re into this type of thing. But the pro-wrestling fans, that’s what they’re into. I’ve never been a pro-wrestling fan, but I could imagine, I know there’s a lot of them, how they got really into that. They love the heel, the bad guy, the jerk who talks a lot of smack. So maybe it’s going to attract some hillbilly fans.’ Maybe it’ll attract some hillbilly fans? Right! And maybe the new Harry Potter movie will attract lames in capes and costumes with broomsticks. I’m with Brown … I’ve never been a pro wrestling fan either. Or a fan of laying a beatdown on a guy and getting in his grill to remind him of it while he’s getting medical attention! Or, of ‘flipping off’ the fans! Or, telling them what you’re going to do your wife later that night. Or hillbillies! All that said … don’t tell me this guy isn’t good for the UFC, because he is! Either you love him or you hate him, but you will pay to see him. You know the guy is the ‘Next Big Thing,’ the biggest pub hound ever! Shaq is trying to hitch his gravy train to him saying he wants to fight him. Shaq … check it …. you know how I be — you won’t last five minutes in the C-A-G-E. Check it … you know how I be — you can’t hang with that hill-bill-ee!”

Sooners? Would you have taken this deal Markakis and Carpenter for Bills, Romero and Choo?
