    What a disrespectful thing to say about a fighter who went out on his shield. I like some of his writing but he irks the hell out of me at times.
    it was in a chat and obviously a joke.

    there's a difference between his writing and tv commentary and his chats and twitter.

    he does his best to be professional as a writer/commentator.

    on his chats and twitter he makes jokes and stuff to be/try to be entertaining.

      It was obviously a joke as it ended the chat and was then removed later, and neither ESPN or Dan have explained why.

            don't know why he/they would remove it.

            either way i have no problem with it.

            i think people are overreacting.

            it was a joke. maybe in bad taste but it was still a joke.

            and i don't buy that "professionalism" talk.

            as a writer he needs to show professionalism in his writings.

            internet chats and twitter is different.

            just compare your favorite nba/mlb/nfl writer's articles with their chats/twitter.

            in articles they have to be serious , accurate and professional.

            on chats/twitter they are less so. they will talk about rumors that they normally don't have the sources to write about , they make jokes , etc.

              It'd be like if Dan Rather tweeted on 9/11 "LOL 9/11 Dead People. ROFL ROFL."

                AS far as it being a joke: When a chat participant replied, "That wasn't a very nice thing to say" about Briggs, Rafael replied,

                'It wasn't meant to be"

                and he promptly ended the chat. That remark was also removed.

                So I don't know that it was totally a joke -- he is pissed at Briggs.

                    he's made that "it wasn't meant to be" comment a lot too.

                    this isn't the 1st time rafael made fun of someone or made unprofessional comments towards a fighter.

                    he calls haye "the ducker" for example.

                    nothing new.

                      It's similar. Briggs spent a week in the hospital and was in intensive care after that beating, you know that right?
