Breaking bad news is hard to do, but 'Breaking Bad' is my favorite show on television. Both things explore opposite ends of the coolness spectrum in daily life. One often lead to people being upset, while the other leads to people shaving their heads and browsing Craigslist for a used Pontiac Aztek. No mid-life crisis is complete without some sort of crossover vehicle, and no MMA career is complete without Keith Kizer telling you to 'get your ass back to the arena' to urinate in a cup as we learned yesterday at Alistair Overeem’s NSAC hearing. Unfortunately, Ubereem has not been granted a license to fight in Nevada, and cannot re-apply until December 27th of this year. We hope you didn’t spend your entire afternoon watching the Layzie’s live streaming coverage, but if you did, you probably noticed Layzie's attire displaying pro-narcotic paraphernalia. If you're into mildly humorous t-shirts, it was probably an afternoon well spent. As a bonus to MiddleEasy's collective Testosteronegate coverage, we have this audio-clip of Jim Rome breaking the news to Dana White, and his reaction that suggests he expected considerably more severe punishment…

Ya know what, fuck Jim Rome and fuck Dana White. Jim Rome is nothing but an instigator and Dana never ever has the back of his athletes.

Of COURSE Dana isn't going to defend Overeem, because Overeem was a star before he came to the UFC and not one Dana crafted himself. What a load of garbage. He better not lose his seat on the UFC roster.

Ok, of course he deserves a suspension. That is not what I am saying. Whether or not his excuse is legit... even if it's not, Dana has the best (in my opinion) Heavy Weight on his roster but of course he's all butthurt and saying he doesn't know if he'll fire Overeem or not. He never has the back of his athletes.

These are professional athletes. These things happen.

"He may have been the most tested athlete in your sport but now he's one of the most suspended athletes in your sport."

After all this shit, the big question is where does Overeem sit on the Frate Trane?

Zeus asked that question over Twitter, most of the responses are "Keep him on, even if it's at number 10".

Jim Rome is a huge douchebag.

Anyway, it's time to lose the Reem from the Frate Trane list. Love him to death, but he got caught red-handed.

Let me put it to you this way: Gordie Howe, one of the greatest Canadian hockey players of all time, made hockey records by returning to the ice for one shift of a minor league game at the age of 69.

Jim Rome caught wind of this and offered $3,000 to anybody who would take him out of the game permanently. He only relented when Howe's family threatened him with a lawsuit. Dude's a shithead.

yes i want in on this shit on Jimmy Reamjob session! Isn't he a fricking creep? You can almost hear the drool as begs for the firing of Overeem. "Oh please daddy Danish! Fire him! He's full of garbage!"- fapfapfap.

I agree with posters above who speak of Jim Ream being an instigator. It should be monitored by all of us and discouraged. Evans vs Jones got that way coz of the media and internet firing up the situation. 'Member when Ariel Helwani said to Rashad [regarding Jackson's]: "Do you feel they betrayed you?". That was right there after Jones beat Rua and Helwani was probing Rashad for all his feelings; all that conflict was pretty fresh then.

We can instigate personal fights or even firings - we have to stay out of that shit (except to encourage fights we want to see in the ring)!
