Mauro Ranallo’s “Joe Namath moment”

Up now at the Epic Carnival blog is the first installment of a weekly MMA column I’m writing called “The Prophet’s Tuesday Tapout”. Among other subjects, I address Elite XC announcer’s Mauro Ranallo’s lecherous comments directed at Gina Carano uttered last Saturday:

The highlight of “Broadway Joe’s” NFL career was no doubt his Superbowl III performance as the New York Jets upset the heavily favored Baltimore Colts. His post-retirement high point is very likely his apparently drunken come-on to ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber where Broadway Joe slurs that he “doesn’t care about the Jets” because he “wants to kiss” the comely Kolber.

A similar incident happened on Saturday’s Elite XC event during a fight between Gina Carano and Tonya Evinger. Only it was a guy considered one of the top announcers in MMA pulling the gaffe, not a boozy retired QB. And Showtime’s Mauro Ranallo was after a lot more than a kiss from the attractive Carano. Plus, he didn’t have the excuse of being drunk.
