Chael Sonnen lets reporter have it – Watch MoreFunny Videos
Our favorite quote generator, Chael Sonnen was interviewed on Canadian sport network TSN today by infamous pot stirrer Michael Lansberg and let’s just say that if he was acting, he deserves an Oscar.
Things got heated from the very beginning when Lansberg asked the number one UFC middleweight contender why he “backed down” from the loser leaves town challenge he issued UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva.
“You might want to take the bass out of your tone, I’m not sure you know who you’re talking to here, but I’ve never backed down from anything, so check your facts,” Sonnen said. “If I tell you I’ll sell you my car for $10,000, do you think I can just call you back a year from now and say, ‘I’ll take the $10,000 for the car’? That’s not how offers work. Is that how you do business in Canada? Cause in my country, that created business, offers expire.I made him an offer, apparently it didn’t work, he didn’t accept it. It’s not that I backed down, but apparently I need to present him with a new offer. You guys probably don’t do that in socialism, but in America, in a capitalistic society, that’s how things work.”

When Lansberg attempted to further explain his original statement, Chael seemed perplexed by the point he was trying to make.
“What are you talking about? What is this, your first day on the job? You’re mixing five different stories here,” he snapped. “This is like doing amateur hour or something. What show am I on here? Is this for public radio?”
“The Gangster from America” genuinely seemed pissed off at the tedious line of questioning by Lansberg and he let the longtime host of “Off the Record” know that he wasn’t impressed with the interview, by continually berating him and eventually walked off the set in apparent disgust.
Besides firing continuous salvos at Lansberg, Chael also took potshots at Silva and UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre during the 10-minute interview.

But thank you for demonstrating your ignorance.
Please read what I wrote again...If you don't get that I think Landsberg is an asshole(from what kangerpang said) wanna be Jim Rome than I can't help ya.
Maybe it's the BC bud you scored, but c'mon man.
I'm just pissed they cancelled the John Gallagher show and kept OTR going back in the day, Gallagher was always more entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
My brother is in fort mac so I got nothing but love for Alberta.
What the hell are you talking about!!! Comparing Michael Landsberg to Jim Rome???!!! Are you on drugs???!!!
I'm from Alberta and I can tell you that there isn't a single person I know who would make such an idiotic comparison. Maybe is Montreal you can think that way but then Quebec is known for its stupidity.
Michael Landsberg is a complete idiot and he always has been. I have hated him for as long as TSN has been STUPID enough to have him on the air. I PRAY that TSN will finally see how utterly stupid this fool is, sadly I doubt they will.
We had to have one fag in here sucking this reporters dick and you my friend are "That Guy"
.
He wasn't being "in your face" he was being a troll. You can be "in your face" and intelligent about it at the same time, this guy was neither, he was trying to get a reaction out of a guy he knew would give him a reaction no matter what he asked. He was being annoying. He was asking questions that you might ask a composed and dignified athlete as a last resort to get a reaction.

Amateur hour is right.
.
at the same time though it really was a lame fucking interview because lansberg was trying to be confrontational and measure his dick with "tough questions." but in the end, to all those who all those who lack a sense of humor, please realize that the hilarious part is that lansberg got just as shaken.
.
this is what is known as an "epic troll"
.
And Off The Record has had a lot of guests a LOT more famous than Chael so I highly doubt Landsberg was trying to make his career off of Chael (FYI - he's interviewed GSP, Derek Jeter, Terell Owens, Lennox Lewis, Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin all of whom are far more famous than Uncle Chael) and none of these guys have seen fit to act like an a-hole and walk off the set.
.
I think Landsberg actually did a good job not being bullied by Chael. Guess what Chael, not all interviewers toss up easy questions like Helwani.
fricking hilarious
