FightTicker.com battle with IFL CEO makes it to Yahoo Sports
Yahoo Sports has a rundown of my ill-fated verbal joust with IFL CEO Jay Larkin.

While I think the analysis points to me coming out ahead, the author states that Larkin gets the edge.
Go figure!
Either way, the truth is that neither of us were winners...

Sorry, I just re-read Cofield's piece. He's giving the "loser's" edge to Larkin (in other words, calling him the bigger loser...). The wording is a bit confusing. Oh well. I posted my comment before I understood what he was saying...
I would think that a person responsible for a public corporation should be held to a higher standard than a writer who specializes in giving his opinion.
PCF, I think Cofield is holding Larkin to the higher standard in this piece. His opening paragraph is a bit confusing but you realize by the end of the article that he thinks Larkin screwed up...
I've reread the article and you are correct, it is quite confusing as to what the author's view was. In lieu of that I immediately edited my post to remove the childish insult it contained. When I resort to name-calling (which is fairly often) I would like it to be deserved....
I posted a few questions to him on there lol

Brat,
1) Thanks for the kind words in the comment and
2) That was an excellent comment.
FightTicker is certainly representing on that blog entry...

PCF, how did you edit your comment? I can't figure it out on their site...
And, Larkin has opened himself up to a lifetime of insults...unfortunately for him...
I didn't on their site, I meant my first comment here. It was a little more harsh for about five minutes....
Yahoo deleted MMABrat's comment as well as ProCannonFodder's comment on that blog entry...
then why write the article if they can't handle differing views. i responded again...

Phoenix,
I have this gut feeling your second comment won't survive the cuts either.
I've sent an email to the author to find out why he deleted Brat's comment. I think PCF's comment may have been slightly off-color but Brat's was certainly not...
i know. i'm used to having my comments being removed all the time(cBullShit)

I guess they are afraid to hear the truth, I can't stand that. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

or, if you write a crappy article that says nothing new don't delete people's posts...

Steve Cofield, the author of the article, responded to my email and said the following:
About the back and forth between the IFL and me: "BTW, that was not meant to pound you. I was really trying to lash out at Larkin. I don't really believe you should've apologized...But you showed class in doing so, Jay showed none with his weak apology. "
He's also re-writing the first paragraph of the article to make it more clear how he felt.
i got the inside scoop on the new first paragraph:
"This is me pounding jay larkin. and if jay larkin doesn't want to be pounded, he should have thought twice before pissing off the gay people. I'm pounding jay larkin so hard right now."

I think he changed it! Should he not let people know now that he messed up?
