How does Dan Rafael get away with the shit he comes out with?

[No Contest]

He's another douche who thinks his opinion is the gospel, like most boxing analysts these days. Thats why I like guys like Al Bernstein he doesnt really put his opinions into things.

[Andre]

Who exactly is he bias against/in favor of?

Real Big dudes with bias just seem to lean on whoever and roll right over them.

I don't spend alot of time on espn in chats. Do other espn employees act as unprofessionally as Mr. Twinkie (Rafael) does on a consistent basis in the chats?

[Hulk]

I resent the fat ass calling us "freaks". We are boxing nerds damn it !

He certainly has a condescending attitude, and a homosexual worship of the Klitschko bros.

[Violent Demise]

I dont understand the blind hatred for him by some members on this site. He is a good reporter.

And Shannon Brings was inexplicably accusing Rafael of conspiring to steal his pay check from the Klitschko fight.

Briggs, without a doubt committed slander, and as a result you will notice that he no longer has a twitter account, and I would not be surprised if Rafael sues him.

A good reporter who is basically saying he wished Vitali caused him permanent brain damage or even death? Yes what a fucking guy I agree legend!!!

I would love to see him get in the ring for just one round if his fat arse could climb through the ropes. The guy is supposed to be a well respected boxing reporter, but he is a childish idiot, who should not be coming out with things like that.

So what you saying is you agree with what Briggs said, right? I personally don't give a fuck about the fat fuck. But Briggs comments were some fucked accusations

hate is a strong word, but not a strong enough word to explain how i feel about this guy

if you are a journalist and you work for ESPN, you should be able to ignore whatever comes out of the mouth of Shannon Briggs. Briggs never could be accused of being the sharpest tool in the shed, his career is effectively over, and he is bitter.

Nah. There's a difference between insults and accusations. If Briggs were to say he don't know shit or just call him a fat fuck. Than yeah the smart thing for Rafael to do would be ignore it. But Briggs ain't spitting insults. He's accusing. That's completely different. Insults don't really do much to a person. Accusations can ruin a muthafukka

I found this article, sounds like Briggs has been talking a whole lot of shit

[bradlee180]

Well, Rafael often has the inside scoop and lets fans know what's up.

I appreciate Dan, but dude ought to get his fat ass on a program though, dude's 260 lbs of cholesterol, a heart-attack waiting to happen. That's serious health consequences to carry too much fat and get no exercise nor healthy diet.

[Spicoli]

Dan'o gave him the gullet smack down. Really though if he's thinking bigger ventures with HBO and the like he needs to rise above what some 2nd rank also ran couldn't cut the mustard Briggs sais and stop going tweet happy like some teen.

[Gandalf]

Sounds like regular stuff you would get on here, but then none of us are getting paid to do this. Come on ESPN, give me a job. I would love to insult all the boxers that piss me off and actually get paid for it.

How would you fit it in on top of the 1.75 hours per week you already work?

[JonnyFolds]

Dan Raphael is a very, very well rounded individual. He is almost the shape of a circle.
