sure don't mind the change

The "experts" at CBS Sportsline are up to their predictably terrible ways again. This time they're not ripping on Cincinnati or the Bengals, but one writer posted an article about the upcoming De La Hoya vs. Mayweather boxing match this weekend, which is a thin veil used by the author to rant about how much he loathes "the worst league ever invented, the UFC." It's a fairly amusing to see him rant about the "UFC barbarians" and "the ignorance that is mixed martial arts" and then go on to display his own ignorance of the sport and it's rules. He uses all the typical clichéd criticisms of MMA by calling it "human cock fighting" and it's fighters "thugs and ruffians." I might get annoyed or offended by this ignorant rant if it wasn't so laughable when he claims that MMA fighters are nothing more than unskilled goons. I'd love to see this guy try and learn Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It's obvious that the author simply cannot handle that boxing is going the way of the dodo and would prefer to stick his head in the sand and convince himself that everything is alright.

Although it does pain me that that clown Doyle at CBS Sportsline is the one defending MMA.
