Robin Black picked Anderson to lose in all of his fights because "I thought it was funny"

If this is the state of journalism/analysis....

 

[electricfuneral]

I remember when robin black was a goth

 

[mesmeric]

on a side note, although i do know who he is, i have zero interest in hearing his opinions; i don't find him interesting at all

I lost a ton of respect for him after he defended Schumer for stealing jokes, yet he ragged on Mencia for years for it. I get that he's trying to defend his friend, but the guy prides himself on being 'real' and telling people how it is, yet he blatantly tried to make every excuse in the book for her.

I listened to that podcast and I didn't get that impression. With Carlos he had first had experience with his stealing. He doesn't know for sure what happened with the Amy stuff, some of it could have been her writers handing her bits and jokes. I personally feel like she did steal some of it knowingly but I don't blame Joe for not immediately trashing her without any real knowledge.

I just got a really bad feeling from watching Redban throwing out the facts, and Joe just tried to say it was okay, because it's apparently unreasonable to know every joke there is - which is true, but a Google search could have prevented any coincidences.

Thing is, she stole stand-up bits, almost word-for-word, as well as in her sketch show. It's certainly not a coincidence like Joe was saying.

 

[Ballsaque]

yeah, now that his picks were a joke he gets out by saying "i was just trolling"

You dumb, son.

IIRC Joe did mention that some it seemed to sketchy to just be a coincidence. I believe because of how one joke segued into the next.

Lol I opened up for this guys band a long time ago. Robin Black and the Intergalactic Rock Stars.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

not funny and not professional either.

"You ain't shit. You just like your daddy. You don't do shit, and you never gonna amount to shit. All you do is eat, sleep, and shit."

okay, that was pretty funny lmao but all ill say is he does some good work. like another poster in this thread has stated once you get past his goofy presentation you can see he is pretty good at analyzing fighters and match ups. that pretty much sums up robin, hes a little goofy but hes pretty good at what he does and you can tell he enjoys. and who wouldnt? i think everyone who posts regularly in the heavies does like to think about and discuss all these match ups.

He said it seemed sketchy, but I believe he passed all blame to her writers, and none to Amy, herself. The kicker was not only that a sketch was ripped-off, but also that the following segment was ripped-off, too. From the same originator, in the same original order.

She used used two jokes back-to-back which were almost identical to the two jokes that Patrice O'Neal used back-to-back. Someone also mentioned (cannot remember where) that she use to open for Patrice and that they were friends. So by Schumer saying she never heard those jokes would have been BS considering she use to open for him.

 

[Spookv]

He lying. If he wanted to be taken as a serious analyst he wouldn't do that.

 

[JustforBROCK]

For a split second I though this was 'Rob Black' - anyone remember that MMA fighter? He was like some kind of under the rader urban legend of toughness - and Rogan used to jack off about the guys and then he FINALLY got signed to UFC ... in his debut he got rough up and looked as pedestrian as you could look. Anyone remember that guy?

 

[Drunk Bum]

Sherdog always picked against Silva as well. Kept rooting against him until Weidman caught him, then suddenly everyone claimed to be Weidman fans from the beginnjng.

For nearly 7 long years they kept jumping on the next guy to beat Silva until it happened. Sherdog is fickle.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Who?

The best journalist/media member in MMA.

I get what you are saying but I have seen multiple comedians now claim that those jokes were not made up by Patrice. There are certain jokes that are old and are used by many comedians. In the comedian world they are considered "hacky" and some made fun of him for using those jokes as his closers.

 

[SlicerDM]

Lol@ that thread that popped up about super analyst Robin Black picking Bisping to win with multiple Silva haters agreeing.

 

[Kinku]

I gotta check out the podcast. I feel like joe and robin would be a interesting show to listen
