Dear @TMZ_Sports, will you please start investigating FIFA? #YouAreOurOnlyHope

Grant Wahl ?@GrantWahl 12m
@rogbennett Wait, you're the one asking for tougher journalism? Right.


Sounds like G-Dubs is a tad jealous of Rog's recent upswing in fame.

@rogbennett Not a classy tweet by me. Won't delete it, but I will apologize. Shouldn't have happened.

I don't know why, but this really, really pissed me off. Roger Bennett loves this country and our squad, and those guys have been working their asses off to try to help soccer grow in this country. Rog claims he's genuinely going to become an American citizen now. There's a reason NBC wanted them. They're extremely likable and fun to listen to and watch. Grant Wahl is just pissed off because people have fallen in love with the Men in Blazers pair. He couldn't take not being the most beloved bald man in the US soccer community.

There are few people who I would be pissed off by someone Twitter beefing with them, but Rog is one of them. I would probably fistfight Grant Wahl right about now. I don't care if that's an overreaction. I feel like someone just slapped my little sister or something.

Grant Wahl is such a tool, but don't say that on Twitter. He searches his name.

wahl is so jelly

rog is a commentator/analyst

wahl is a journalist who tries to be a commentator/analyst and never caught on in that role

What's most weird about this is, to me, Rog is not a guy who makes comments to generate controversy. He's just an innocent guy who loves the U.S., GFOPs, and Miguel Herrera.

Is Wahl that attention seeking that he thinks he can ride Rog's coat tails by making some dumb comment on twitter and then apologizing for it?
