    I liked Dan, he was usually more objective and more knowledgeable than Max Kellerman.

    Unlike Max, he didn't rave on like a silly fanboy about certain boxers nor was he unfairly negative about others.

    Rick Glaser isn't a reliable source on anything. I don't read Rafael's work.

    He is a relevant source to GGG haters when he talks out of his ass about PPV numbers.

    I called him Dan “paid per lineal” Rafael and “lineal ESPN shill” on Twitter. Everyone was liking and retweeting the comment.

    He saw the comment and wrote a separate Tweet defending himself, then blocked me and changed his Twitter bio to “lineal ESPN journalist.”

    Not anymore.

    Looks like the forensic accountant at ESPN finally caught on to the millions of dollars spent by Dan on "Snacks and Soda".

    Supposed to be several layoffs at ESPN this week. Not shocking Fat Dan got the axe. He was an arrogant jerk at times.

    That is what happens when your business Daddy comes to have a little sit down meeting with you and says "time to change your tune, Fury is our guy now".

    In all honesty, ESPN needs a bit of a refresh. The quality of journalism really slipped the past few years, Josina Anderson is maybe the worst I have ever seen anywhere. SVP is untouchable though, and the clear #1 guy across all networks.

    I’ve told this story on here before a friend of mine was behind Dan in line at the McDonald’s on the strip in Vegas during the Maywether - De La Hoya fight week. He said Dan ordered $30 worth of food and the cashier had to give it to him on 3 trays :lol:

    He thought Dan might have been with a few people. Nope he was sitting alone crammed in a booth with the food littered all over the table burger in one hand and his Blackberry in the other hand. Said it was disgusting.
