Miller/Diaz Feud Not Doing Anyone Any Favors

In some kind of bizarre delayed reaction, Strikeforce’s Nick Diaz and Jason Miller have spent part of the past week trading insults regarding their April meltdown on CBS. (Refresher: Miller interrupted a Jake Shields post-fight interview to ply his manic-ADD shtick: Diaz and other members of the Cesar Gracie camp proceeded to attack him. Depending on how you respond to Miller’s endless mugging, it was not unpleasant to watch.)

This is a gift-wrapped “grudge” fight for the promotion, assuming the two could arrive at some kind of catchweight, but it’s better to pass: what kind of message does it send to athletes that you can embarrass your employer on national television, suffer a suspension, and then profit from the fallout?
