When the media player pops up, click the one called “Not my job” in the playlist. That’s the one with Chuck.

The guy is a world class fighter not a chat show host.

How well would Jay Leno do in the Octagon?

He went 1 for 3. The questions were inane (which is pretty much the point).

Oh, come on I am atleast somewhat educated in usless knowledge and great at mma knowledge, and couldnt answer these questions. If you could answer these questions you are a stalker of the bush family and should be charged for treason.

That was actually a decent listen. I figured with him being interviewed on NPR, they would’ve gone all highbrow and snobbish on him and thrown out the “cockfighting” BS at some point. I give ‘em credit for not taking the same cheap shots taken by so many that want to seem more “civilized”.

He defeated Silva and he’s overrated, keep dreaming and thinking what the little voices in your head tell you, and you wanna talk about RUA? that flabby, man boob, out of shape RUA? punk Chuck out? sure, I’m sure you’re holding on the pathetic and sad quote “if the old shogun comes to fight”

I just really like the thought of Chuck crawling around Chuck E. Cheese’s.

Everyone has a vice. Maybe sleep medication is Chuck’s.

I listen to that show every week. They ask questions that the celebrity has no way of knowing on purpose. It would have been more fun if Paula Poundstone was on that week.

not really, there were a few spelling errors in there. this is a blog site, if i wrote a book i’d probably get someone to proof read it or something. i just thought it was kinda thrown together with not much effort in the stories of how it was written. it was just an excuse for him to make some money. thanks though z, terd.

When i read the chute box hero quote, the eighties song Juke Box Hero by Foreigner immediately popped into my head.

I bet Chuck probably doesn’t know how to spell.

I’d like to see the first draft of his book, it was probably written in f’ing crayon.

Quit with the hating. You know what he meant.

I liked the book. I also liked Matt’s book. Although Chuck’s book made me a bigger fan; while Matt’s book made me hate him more. I got from both books EXACTLY what I expected.

Chucks got an accounting degree from University of California Polytechnic…..which means he did his homework in HS….and threw down on aptitude tests.

So don’t ever call him stupid.

As far as his fights skills. They can not be debated. Hall of Famer, take all comers…… except the ones he can’t see, the ones out there on the internet.

why? if you are going to come out and criticize someone’s writing ability, you should at least be able to write yourself. its called not being a hypocrite.

“Mixed martial arts is the nascar of the 21st century”

whats with all the hate on this comment, this is a huge comment. Nascar is Huge and extremely popular, I think the comparison is great and would love if MMA/UFC gets to be as big as Nascar/auto racing.
