Challenging Matt Naugle

I think Matt's mouth just wrote a check his guts won't cash - like to see him prove me wrong - staff

Matt thinks liberal men are pansies.  I say we find out.

I HEREBY CHALLENGE MATT NAUGLE TO A BOXING MATCH!

You talked the talk, Matt. Let's walk the walk. I say we sell progressive tickets and conservatives tickets and take our cuts and give them to charity...all the while having a little fun. You up for it? Give me a call over at the shadow organization sane people call ProgressOhio. 614-441-9145. We can set it up

Your hippie buddhist friend Eric

I mentioned this in the other thread

but I'll do it again here. Let's compile a list of liberal men past and present who could kick fatty matty's ass. I'll start:

1. Lyndon Johnson. He was taller than Matt is wide, and I'd bet a lot of money he was a whole hell of a lot stronger in say 1960 than Matt ever has been or will be.

 

p.s. eric, don't hold your breath waiting on any response from him. he talks big and he is big but i'm sure he's as much of a coward as the rest of that crowd.

Hey Tough Guys

I don't agree with everything he says but I would be more than happy to stand in for Matt.  I think liberals are pansies too!

Not to often I get a free chance to hand out a beating to a bleeding heart, hide behind a keyboard liberal.  Make sure your medical insurance is paid up!

Eric, get the tickets printed!

King

or maybe

maybe we could shadow box...anonymously...on the internets!

No, thats OK.  I am more of a face to face type of guy.  This way we can shake hands when it is over.

I read the Oprah post and would have to agree with him. This line of thinking could also be associated with the Rosie "ching chong" O'Donnell.

 King

heh

oh he who throws out "hide behind a keyboard liberal" yet uses an anonymous nickname online. Gotcha.

Are you sure Eric?

I dunno Vessels.

I think Matt's been liftin'. It takes an awful lot of strength to carry that bag of crap they pass around at RAB.

Round 1:

Eric Vessels

VS

Matt Naugle

excuse

you've just been looking for an excuse to use those two pictures together...

Possible Ring Girls:

  Barbara Olsen, Peggy Noonan, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter

 

if you can produce barbara olsen

then count me in.

Sorry, but that's just tacky

I despise the right wing nutjobs as well, but, in case you didn't know it, Barbara Olsen died on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11.  To continue in the boxing meme, that comment was "below the belt".

Stop acting like a whining liber Little Giant . . .

. . . I don't care how or when she died . . . I care about what a discraceful waste of space she was while she was here.  

My all time...

My all time favorite College prof. once said that "you know, Ann Coulter lost her best friend Barbara Olsen on Sept. the 11th. It was sort of like Tweetledumb losing Tweetledumber." I think that sums it up nicely.

Yes!

Great idea Eric! I think that not only is this an opportunity to test Matt's theory, but we can no doubt raise a ton of cash for charity. It's a win-win situation, no matter who wins! Matt can't turn this down, can he? I will personally do what I can to sell tickets for this event.

Undercard

And if any of his buddies wanna feature on the under card - I'm game.

Staff should wrestle:

"The British Bulldog Returns!"

 

how much

how much of your day do you spend looking up these photos anyway?

won't sell tickets...

but I might run a line on the Vessels/Naugle fight... I'll give you 2 to 1 on vessels in one round or 1000 to 1 on Naugle, as many rounds as you'd like...

All I can say is...

Progressives Bombaye!

Thats cool you met your boyhood hero!

I think every kid grows up wishing the same thing.  Yes, Ali is one of the greatest fighters of all times.  As an athelete/boxer he will always be known as "The Greatest" - bar none!

I disagree with his actions outside the ring and the people he surrounded himself with. That being said, I would be in awe today if I had the chance to meet him. He is "ALI" - who wouldn't be.

Don't see how or where this post caused challenge to boxing match though.

King

reading comprehension

try reading it all again...keep trying. you can DO IT!

 

OK, hell. Here's a hint.

Read it! It was stupid!

Like I said - Ali was a great fighter, Thats it! Otherwise he was a trouble maker and draft dodger who deserved to be stripped of his title.

As for reading comprehension  - put your money where your big mouth is! I took your challenge - Now it is time for you to back it up Mr. Tough Guy behind the keyboard.

Wasn't it the BUM Trevor Berbick that slapped an old washed up Ali around?

King

OK

I'm gonna bet you a 20 spot you don't comment with your name and phone number like I'm about to.

Eric Vessels - 740-417-3333. Call me and we'll have a lil chit chat. If you do, I'll hand deliver the 20. If you don't...go away.

PS - I've never once hid behind a keyboard online. Not once. Ask anyone. Not like some pansy consevatives who comment around here...

Please make it a new $20

My name is Ralph King. Live in Bedford. PH# is (440)465-1834.  I'll buy a beer with the $20, then we can box.  If you have never hid behind a keyboard that is commendable.  At least we can agree that anyone who hides behind a keyboard, whether they be republican or democrat, is a pansy! 

King

you got it

big head 20 on the way. call ya tomorrow...

For the record - Eric and I

For the record - Eric and I spoke for awhile on the phone today.  While we differ in some views, we agree on some.  Believe it or not, there was no name calling or nothing like that.  It was a nice call and proves not ALL liberals are pansies. I hope he feels the same about me and the Republicans. 

If Eric ever comes to Cleveland, if the democrats will allow it( haha), I will be more than happy to buy him a beer. 

We do agree that both parties, can still stand by their principles, and be able to work together. We as the little guys (both sides) need to push and work to make sure our elected officials work together.

 King

Very cool

Glad to see you and Eric see eye to eye in some areas.

 

Wow...

there you two go, proving that the world really can be a better place. Bloggers, unite!

Also for the record...

Even though I don't agree with most of your views, I hope you stick around. Adds something... you could be like, the Republican in Residence... just don't go all Hickman and shit.

Wish the statehouse worked like that...

Yep. Ralph is alright by me. Amazing what a bit of civil conversation will do. Appreciate the convo today. I'll share a bit more about it. At the end I explained the reason for my (admittedly juvenile) challenge to Naugle to box. King says to me "Listen, if anyone else calls you a pansy I'll volunteer to hold the towel in your corner while you box". All I needed to hear. Stand up fella, this King. Don't agree with him on most things politics, but he's a good man...and I'd hate to let politics get in the way of acknowledging that. Now...still owe ya the $20. Though Ralph offered to nix the deal, I once heard from someone I admire "my word is my bond". You stepped up and I will settle up on the bet. Just damn glad I rethought that "bet ya a hundred bucks" idea. Whew!

PS - Ralph King for sure no pansy

I think this whole thing has backfired on Matty

I'm sure he thought that being a renowned "hippie-buddhist", Eric probably would just get really high and then meditate on the insult. Oops. I wonder how he is going to try and back out of this one. I doubt when he called us pansies he ever expected anyone to say "ok, prove it." This is a movement reenergized--we are now literally willing to slug it out with them.

If it ever comes to pass I will do whatever I can to help raise money for charities. Maybe we should start doing this annually?
