You see chick there are two type of men around IN ANY BUSINESS !!!!

Here is a little leason for you by me in Human resources:

a) Is the person you tell to jump and they ask: How high?
he/she will do what ever is best for him even if that means he has to do something that is against any principles (if he has any left) he still has....sadly these people move up the ladder quit fast since they give most people the illusion that they are approachable hardworking folks, but in fact they are the worst employees you can have they don't work with you but against you since they just tell you what you want to hear and really only do what you ask them too.

b) Is the person you tell to jump and they reply: Why and were do you want me to jump?
They seem to be complicated at first, but out of my personal experience these people if handled correctly are the best that can happen to a business, they are at most very open tell you up front what is wrong (and not things to please your ears) and get things done.
I'm not saying they are easy to deal with, but they are in most cases missunderstood and wrongly classified as PROBLEMS.

Do not call yourself the Athletes Representative if you cannot talk for them, as a good leader you have to be prepared to go through a shitstorm for your Troops ESPECIALLY for the people you don't like or think are not worse it, you don't do that you loose credibility, if you are to afraid to really get some people pissed so you can make things better for your colleagues,,, than your "job title" is as meaningless as Derek Anthony doing g4p, or a sack of rice falling over in China's red square.
Your last post has shown me once again that you are at best a IFBB lapdog, somebody who is not willing for his own safety to risk his neck in order to help people.
It's sad coz from all I have seen and heard about yourself I'm nearly certain that you are infact a likable person, you just need to get your head out of your ass and see that there is more than money and fame, coz trust me from personal experience if you know your being respected by the people that really matter... it warms your soul and your ego (if you want to) a lot more than a couple of green paper things.

Respectfully

If Lee had decided to stay with the IFBB, then he could have opted to work within the system, and with myself to initiate change...sadly, he chose a different course an now finds himself on the short end (no pun intended).

You know what I have said makes sense, in spite of all that I think you personally are a cool person, your morals regarding your job are a little screwed but that's my own personal view of things.
I don't want to lecture you I just think it's a little sad that we never hear from you that you stick up for certain people, what we read from you on the other hand are attacks on the very people you are there to voice.... don't you think this is a little strange?

Maybe you should host less events and play less golf with Shawn and concentrate on your job as the Athletes representative.

Your really seem to glee and are generally happy about what has happend to Lee and that makes you look even worse than anything else, nobody likes the guy who says: I told you so I told you so.

I stick up for the athetes as a whole, I've helped out and made more money for more athletes than you would ever know...

I Make changes for the betterment of the IFBB pro's, both men and women. My job entails being the voice of the pro's, COLLECTIVELY...If Lee had come to me for help, I would have certainly helped in any way I could within the proper channels, and using the proper format.

Ron you totally misunderstood me, I ALWAYS respect anybody who airs his own voice, even if I don't necessarily share the same view.

But let me ask you this:
Why do we never read from an IFBB Athlete that Chick has stuck up for him, something the like of: Thanks Chick I needed you support and I got it, you know people would post it if it would really happen.
And we also know that there are a lot of people who need guidance and help (Derek Anthony for example) so why do we never hear from others that he has somehow personally helped them regarding their job.
And I'm not talking about his close friends, I'm talking about any Pro in the IFBB or non pro for that matter?

I don't claim to know any figure, I'm just curious why I never read on any board a Pro talking and thanking you for your personal help or your help in general.
I mean we are talking about BBing and Forums, we talk about all kind of stuff here, so I guess if that is really true what you have said we would hear about it more often than we have in the past.
Don't you think so?

I don't expect accolades from my fellow Pro's, and especialy not on a forum. Their business is their own, whether or not they choose to share it with the rest of the world is up to them.

The majority of pro's don't post here as it is...for any reason, let alone to "thank me" for anything I've done on their behalf.

Sadly he chose a different course in your words.  But in reality what he did was better for him.  The IFBB does not support their members thats a fact even you can't sidestep.  SO far in less than 6 months Lee has made more from competitng in the PDI than he made in the IFBB.  Same thing with St. Cloud.  SO far all the things the IFBB has said about the PDI not making it and no money and no sposnors supporting have been wrong.  I think the problem is that you and Manion think that Lee wanted back into the IFBB and can't fathom the thought that he really didn't.

The MD issue is an exact point where the IFBB threatens sponsors and supporters till they cave in.  Manion doesn't allot MD to cover the Olympia cause of their support of the PDI and Lee was under contract.  Then all of a sudden Manion is sitting next to Bleckman at the North American and sits him up front shaking hands and crap.  Now Bleckman lets Lee go after many years of working together and I will make a side bet with you of $1,000 that MD will be at the Olympia next year.  Simple fact; Manion tells Bleckman to get rid of Lee and he can come back to the Olympia.  Case closed.  Those are the facts.  And its a smart thing to do cause after M&F and Flex sell for near nothing the IFBB will be paying for advertisments and having MD in their corner will help.  Great partnership, they are meant for each other.

I do have to run along, I will have a look later on I would love to continue this conversation... please rest assure that I do not have anything personally against you or do not want to lecture you, I just air my 5cent in human recourses as a Manager and Managing a rather rather large pool of staff.

Dude it's impossible to hate or dislike Chic.  I am in the same boat with you.  It's just where his loyalties are that are the problem. Hopefully he'll snap out of it. :D

Come on Keith...get your facts straight, brother:

Lee has made THOUSANDS more from his association with the IFBB over the last 10+ years...it's not even close.

IS what he has chosen better for him?

So far he got suspended from the IFBB, which has had (and will have) a direct effect on his ability to make money competing, and making guest posing appearances....lost his Twinlab contract, lost out on an opportunity to sign with a different major company because he didn't want to compete as an IFBB pro,  and lost his contract with MD....

You have a much different view of "better for him" than I do...

Lee did want back in, or he wouldn't have has Steve B "see what he can do..." if Lee didn't want any part of it, he simply could have said "no thanks, Steve..." and that would've been the end of it...don't be so niave.

Manion had nothing to do with the MD/ Olympia gig...that was all Flex magazine and David Pecker.

Of course MD will be at the Olympia next year...they wer there this year, last year, and every year as far back as I can remember...why would this year be any different?

Blechman fired Lee because of LEE..no one else.

Yes my view is much different.  I have lost allot of money and opportunities i my life cause I just refused to do it the way they wanted.  I really didn't feel like I would feel good doing something I really don't like or believe in.  A perfect example was the gym I was building in Honolulu back in the early 90's.  Or my t-shirt company in Vegas.  My integrity is more important than money.  The thing I have going is it is easy for me to make allot of money just about anytime.  Lee to has the advantage of being able to say yes or no and still be able to make money with something he is happy with.  I guarantee his happiness ismore important than the lost money.  And I think that is best.  Why oh why would anyone work or do something they are not having fun doing.  Cause you need money?  That is the worst excuse.  Work at a job you hate and can't stand for the money.  Horrible reason.  Get out and do what you like to do and keep trying till you make it and you make money at it.  It is a whole lot better and you can sleep good too.

Why is it overlooked that Steve Bechman was the person who got Lee his endorsement (6 figure) contract with twinlab..Lee did not get that on his own. It appears (without first hand witnessing of any of this) that Twin and Steve decided Lee was not for them any more, it happens in life and in business. Deal with it.

I wiosh lee success in his life, but it appears he has a pattern of issues, from childhood until now.

One thing we have to admit, though.....the little guy is funny as hell when pissed  ;D
In Lee's defence he just basically told the truth. Palumbo hasn't nor will he ever see a pro card yet he acts like he can mingle with the boys and be a part of the clan. He has a shit body and a pot that sicks out 3 feet.

granted... you have initially the better overview of the IFBB and what happens behind closed doors.

I do have to run along, I will have a look later on I would love to continue this conversation... please rest assure that I do not have anything personally against you or do not want to lecture you, I just air my 5cent in human recourses as a Manager and Managing a rather rather large pool of staff.

Thanks again.
You sure do a shitty job of it.

Let me get this straight, does everyone here believe that Chick takes it up the ass from the IFBB?  All of your comments to him have been downright disrespectful.  F.U.C.K them all Chick, you can be my company man anytime.

Why is it overlooked that Steve Bechman was the person who got Lee his endorsement (6 figure) contract with twinlab..Lee did not get that on his own. It appears (without first hand witnessing of any of this) that Twin and Steve decided Lee was not for them any more, it happens in life and in business. Deal with it.

I wiosh lee success in his life, but it appears he has a pattern of issues, from childhood until now.


It's not overlooked, its just that Lee got paid and they (Twinlab) used the shitout of him so they got what they paid for.  It's notlike they just gave Lee money for nothing.  He did the work got them a ton of publicity and business and he got paid. If Twinlab didn't grab him guaranteed someone else would of.  Wasn't he with MuscleTech atone time.  Lee is a big name and very marketable, Twinlab was lucky they got him on their side.

i'm sure in the morning, when pro Bbers who read this board wake up, they'll read this and chime in, in bob's defense, and talk about how much he's helped them.

Well that was exactly my argument the last time I was debating with Bob if he is a good Athletes representative... he said the "real" bodybuilders are too busy posting on boards what good he has done for them (or something down the line)  ::) ::) ::)

IFBB pros havent been compensated fairly for so long its crazy.  And now you throw them a bone, what 4k and expect them to be grateful.  Please.  Way to take a stand Lee, its good for the sport so that other athletes open up their eyes.   He's taking shots from Palumbo a guy who was willing to sell fake product.  You cant take someone like that seriously.     

I don't think dave knew that stuff was fake.  Anyone that knows him knows he wouldn't compromise his integrity for a couple extra bucks.

i just hope MD doesn't become a little "sesame-street" type mag now that they're in bed with the IFBB and all, would kind of suck to sell out like that, but then again...when they cancel a contract for one of the best Columns in the mag (Lee's), i guess you can never be too sure of anything

Lee, congrats on your new column, I hope it's a big success for you.  I would just give up the ghost on MD and let it go. The fact of the matter is that because Steve didn't do what YOU wanted him to do, you went off on a tear and lit up the boards instead of taking the high road, being a man and settling your dispute like an adult. Instead, you had a screaming baby hissyfit on the boards.  You asked Steve to call you then conveniently "lost" your cell phone. The fact is Steve's his own man and doesn't take orders from anyone. Did you ever think of taking the high road and calling him? This whole situation had more to do with your childlike behavior and less to do with anything else, including the PDI.

Now THAT is great news!!!!!!!!! Lee coming to Brazil would be the happening of the year, here, bb wise, no doubt about it!!!!

Lee, you would DEFINITELY feel at home , here in Brazil. You have die hard fans over here. The only other bb that has very loyal, hardcore fans here is Dorian Yates. You 2 are the most beloved pros, here.

Please, Lee, DO COME DOWN HERE!!!! You'll love the food, trust me.....we have the best barbecue steak houses on the planet, and your dinner will be on me !!! ;)

Remember Zolak's MM column?  The column was a good read and was the first thing I would go for when I used to buy mags.  Well Zolak came clean when he left and told us that all the BS in his articles were to sell Muscle Tech products.  He used to compair one of their test boosters as the same thing as Decca without needing to inject.  He came up with all sorts of numbers that came out to make his column make sense.  When he came clean, I knew that all the Muscle Mag writers had to follow the same path or their contracts would end up as a 1 year gig.  Are you going to start pushing MT sups, with missleading statements that are geared to a newbie, just to get his cash.  When I read now I never take the "from the pros" seriously.  I hope that you don't sell out and try to make people believe that by using their sups that they will make steroid like gains, when you know they only way to make steroid like gains are with steroids.  To thy own self be true.

Lee, congrats on your new column, I hope it's a big success for you.  I would just give up the ghost on MD and let it go. The fact of the matter is that because Steve didn't do what YOU wanted him to do, you went off on a tear and lit up the boards instead of taking the high road, being a man and settling your dispute like an adult. Instead, you had a screaming baby hissyfit on the boards.  You asked Steve to call you then conveniently "lost" your cell phone. The fact is Steve's his own man and doesn't take orders from anyone. Did you ever think of taking the high road and calling him? This whole situation had more to do with your childlike behavior and less to do with anything else, including the PDI.

WELL JILL THE DILL....I DID CALL STEVE SEVERAL TIMES...I DIDN'T LOSE MY CELL PHONE I GOT A NEW ONE AND WHEN I PUT THE SIM CARD IN THE NEW ONE IT DIDNT TRANFER THE NUMBERS...ARE WE KEEPING UP? ;D....I HAVE LET THIS GO I NEVER CARED ANY WAY I JUST WANTED A ANSWER SO I COULD MOVE ON...YOU AND THE REST KEEP THIS GOING...LET ME GUESS WILL ONE OF THE NEXT ISSUES OF MD HAVE LEE LET GO BY MD?..SO WHY NOT PUT IT ON THE BOARDS LIKE PEOPLE WOULDN'T MENTION IT ANYWAY IN THE MAG..I TOOK THE HIGH ROAD AND WAITIED FOR HIM TO CALL BUT HE WAS TOO BUSY TO CALL ME BUT HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO POST ON BOARDS....EVEN HAVING DINNER WITH GREGG AND TALKING TO GREGG FOR 20 MINS ABOUT IT HE COULD HAVE CALLED ME FOR 5 MINS THEN GONE BACK TO HIS CONVERSATION WITH GREGG FOR THE REMAINING 15 :)..SO LIKE I SAID I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NOT BEING WITH MD I WANTED AN ANSWER AND I GOT ONE I HAVE MOVED ON NO BIG DEAL...MY LIFE GOES ON AND IT IS GREAT... ;D

Who's bringing you to Brazil? What's the name of the guy? Are you getting down here for NABBA seminars or IFBB's ? You know, NABBA is way stronger here in Brazil. The guy who runs the IFBB really fits his job, like the ones in USA, so keep your eyes wide open, if you know whatta mean (ask Nasser about that...)

Correction: that's Ms. Jill the Dill to you. Sorry to disappoint you, but we're not doing a breaking news story or radio story or even an article about you're being dropped.  In fact, readers might be surprised to see that your column is still running in MD until the March 2007 issue.

In terms of the column that was dropped, it was inflammatory and full of a bunch of lies, half-truths and diatribes against people in the industry- not worthy of the MD "no bull" pledge.
Also, Steve was negotiating on your behalf with the IFBB at that point; printing your column would have been counterproductive.
Also, there's been a rumor to the effect that news of your signing with Musclemag is premature. Care to show us their contract?

Yeah, you're probably right on some scores, I don't know alot about alot of things, but one thing I do know is that I'm not going to go over word for word what you said in your columns and the stuff we had to edit out because it was vitriolic.  If we didn't publish it in MD, I'm not going to list it here. You seem to be very angry. It must be hard jumping from board to board having to defend yourself.  Like Bronx said, "Can't we all just get along"?

I personally dont give a rats ass about MD or Lees future but give me a break are you kidding? Lee's commentary had half truths, bashed people in the industry and was vitriolic? Have you read your own magazine? With Valentinos column, Romanos column, Murderers like Craig Titus bashing everyone in sight when he was with your mag, along with when MD had that rocket scientist Paul Dilet, Dave Palumbo who just got out of prison, Victor Martinez who was incarcerated recently, Chris Cormiers column which pretty much says he should have won every contest he ever entered every month... DO I NEED TO CONTINUE? Say what you will about Flex but MD is as unprofessional and even more of a laughing stock when it comes to creditbility or journalistic integrity. Lastly not including anything about dropping Priest is a huge mistake. You think by ignoring this situation it somehow makes your magazine look like its taking the high road? lolol Jill get your head out of your ass, your obviously blind. MD should jump at whatever publicity this saga brings to your monthly book of 5000 pages of adds, valentino taking a shit and columns advising teenagers on what steroids to take. MD showed its true colors when the publisher had to basically bow down when Peter McGough wrote that scathing editorial a few months back and the magazine got bitch slapped before the Olympia and was denied press coverage. Dont pretend Lee is the one who is unprofessional and not "telling the truth" as you so mindlessly put it.  Lastly, Lee isnt the one defending himself here. He is merely responding to what people on this board are saying about this whole situation. He doesnt seem angry at all nor does he seem to give a shit as Bob Chic mentioned before.

It’s not that complicated, guys. Lee’s column was changed not to censure him, but to save his ass!  We were at the press deadline for that issue and Lee was waiting to see what the IFBB’s offer was going to be to let him back in.  If he had decided to go back to the IFBB that issue would have come out three months later with Lee bashing the IFBB and promoting PDI.  So, to play it safe, we held that column and printed a prior interview with Lee, with nothing censured.  You’ll see that his column this month is not censured.

....keeps them interested. Lets face it, their own lives just aren't that exciting.

Ok I don't normally chime in on threads like this as I don't really care about the IFBB and its promotion of drug use....

Bob that quote is insulting, some of us make more per year than you do.....as well as have what you( an other good IFBB PROS DO) do a pretty wife, kids and security.  

Don't for 1 second think EVERYBODY on this board is naive and stupid.

every sport has to have an outcast, Lee is the outcast he gets stomped on by the IFBB for choosing to go down a road and trying something new.  It is very obvious that the IFBB knows this hurts them, him not competing, otherwise they would not being making such a fuss about the whole thing.   Some fans come to these shows to see people like Lee compete, thats why you guys want him in the IFBB.....

I am very happy he speaks his mind and is not one of these, "I BB for GOD people", while I pump drugs in my body for self glorification and Vanity....going against everything the bible states   ::)

These people are the ones that make me sick.....  I love people like Lee he does hide behind ANYTHING and you can tell he is not a FAKE like some of the IFBB Pro's.

GO LEE and for what its worth I hope the IFBB can see past all of this crap and forget about this.  In the end remember BOB.......

ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY THE IFBB KNOWS LEE BRINGS IN MONEY FOR THEM THATS WHY THEY WANT HIM COMPETING IN THE FEDERATION.

Lee talking about Dave Palumbo...

This is gold !!!! From where it all started, and unfortunattely ended up with Lee's demise from MD. Real pitty........

One thing we have to admit, though.....the little guy is funny as hell when pissed  ;D

Money has nothing to do with this discussion, or my comments.

If my comments don't apply to you, then you certainly wouldn't take offense...if they do, then it's a point taken.

Not having Lee in the IFBB doesn't hurt the IFBB, it hurts Lee. The IFBB has survived the retirement of Sergio, Arnold, Draper, Scott, Pearl, Haney, Wheeler, Ray, Dorian, etc, etc...it has survived other athletes that were suspended, and will survive the moving on from Lee...

Would they like to have Lee? Of course...they want ALL the best Bbers in the world under their roof, and Lee is certainly one of the best.

Lee has moved on, thats life.

BTW...it's not the IFBB making any fuss...it's YOU guys.

I don't see why you say it hurts Lee.  He seems to be fine and doing great.  It is you that continually say Lee fucked up, it's Lee who is hurting.  So far I have yet to see where Lee says anything about hurting or suffering from not being in the IFBB.  SO far you are the ONLY one saying it.  And in reality you have no idea.  Please Chic , as you say quite often, don't get involved with something you have no idea about.  Hope this helps

Lee is as honest as they come...ask him if he's taken a financial loss since his departure.

In Lee's defense, he made it quite clear some time ago that "money isn't everything"...

Anyone can see he took a financial hit.  No need to say it.  But it doesn't seem to hurt him so mch where he has to whine about it.  He obviously is doing good enough to make him happy.  Everyone else is whining for him.  Unlike most would do istead of sitting back and feeling sorry for himself he jumped right up and did the shows did some seminars got a sponsor or two and is doing just fine.  Like I have said before I have lost ALLOT of money because of my mouth or I just didn't feel right.  Sometimes I sit back I think about everythign I had and what I should have had and then I think at least I feel good and move on and make something else happen.  And it was and has been allot more than any supp contract pays.  So, for some people money really isn't everything.  Its nice though.  I just hang in there and something alwasy works itself out.  just like like now.

Yes Lee is entertaining and he has an amazing physique to back it up (unlike many others that thrives on attention)...The man has been more popular than most bodybuilders will ever dream to be and has great success in his life also...Let the hater's hate Lee

Once again this idea that MD is this professional magazine is outrageously insane. Your mag went from an "all natural" bodybuilding magazine that had professional athletes like Shannon Sharpe on the cover to having half naked sluts on every other page- "MD's no bull, no selling out approach" steroid articles gallore Greg Valentinos ranting about his bowels and trashing flex magazine every chance you got to all of a sudden putting on your knee pads and sucking Flex's and the IFBB' cock after you went too far about that dinner you had with David Pecker and Peter McGough in one of your editorials. Now Lee Priest is going too far??? Dude its so hypocrtical its pathetic. Your whole magazine is predicated on being rebellious ( My previous post in this thread puts everything in proper persepctive)  and now your once again bowing down to the IFBB at the expense of one of your "NO BULLSHIT NO SELLING OUT" athletes who by the way actually has won contests and has a good physique. MD went from a natural mag to a super rebllious I dont give a shit underground mag to a corporate magazine in only a few years. Give us a fucking break. As I said I dont know or care about Lee Priest or MD, but dont sit here and tell the fans that Lee is somehow wrong in this situation and MD is all about professionalism. Whats it going to be next year? MD 'THE HARDCORE VEGETARIANS MAGAZINE!!!!"

Well, Jill the Dilldo, if what you say it's true, how about Steve calling Priest for a meeting to discuss what you are pointing out, something like this: " Hey, Lee, it's Steve. Hi. I'm calling you to discuss your column, especifically this month's column. You see, as i went to Manion to discuss your situation and possible return to the IFBB panel, and now that I'm reading what you wrote in your last column to go to print, you're gonna jeopardize any chances of getting back to the Federation. Could we get an agreement to at least put it  on hold and save your usual slandering of the IFBB  for future issues, as you have always bashed those guys, and it will be commom place. But this month's next column especifically, due to your current situation and the elapsed time status since my talking with Manion and the publication of the column, it's gonna get stinky for you and for us. How about we postpone it?"

Anything close to this would do it. This way , all the parts involved would be happy: Priest would feel respected and not censured to be consulted before the final decision form Steve's part, the mag wouldn't nuke their new bridge with the IFBB, the IFBB wouldn't get (more than they already are!) pissed with Priest and so on......And don't tell me that Steve owns the mag and can do the way as he pleases, it's a business decision, blah, blah, blah, because Steve himself got tired of saying that MD is a family, and he always cared about Lee as a friend.

And that is all that really matters.  Just keep your facts straight.  If you're okay, and the big loss you took was worth it, then there is no reason to twist things the way you have.  And don't say you didn't because you did.  The bottom line with respect to MD is that you called out your boss, you pissed him off, and he didn't renew your contract.  To you, it was worth 60 grand.  Fine.  We agree, it's expensive to you.  I don't see why this thread has to continue.  Best of luck, Lee.  I'm looking forward to your next episode..........  There will surely be one  ;)

John its really irrelevant whether it was every 3 years or 4 years but we have seen 3 different approaches to your magazine in the past 10 years which demonstrates something is amiss. But truthfully that is totally meaningless. The real issue (which you nelglected to address again) is my previous post about MD's hypocrasy and about the sequence of events which took place that led to Lee getting let go.

John no need to be insulting. Im only 23. I first picked up an MD in 1998 ( not 1988 when I was 5) and it was all about natural bodybuilding. By 2000 the magazine was all about having half naked girls spalttered throughout and that was nixed in about 2003 when the girls came off the cover and the centerfold was taken away and the magazine became all about advertisments, bashing Flex and steroids and keeping it real. Now that credibility is shot with this whole Lee Priest fiasco. Im pointing out my history as a reader. I dont know or care about what you guys did before then.

How can I respond to something that is completely contrived and erroneous?  Are you insinuating that were were put in our place because AMI denied us press passes?  Please.  And your statement: "Once that happened you tried to keep Lee Priest in line and it didnt work so you didnt re-sign him. Bottom line thats it." I think you'll learn in law school that when you make a statement such as that, you better be able to prove it. Your presumptions are totally inaccurate.  Stick to what you know.

John stick to what you know also- Writing dim witted articles for an unprofessional rag. Dont try to lecture me about law and what I can prove. Heres something we learned the first day. Its called making an inference. I dont have to prove anything- The conduct by your boss and the sequence of events which followed would lead any reasonble person to believe that my assertion was correct. The burden of proof isnt on me. This isnt court. If your response is that I cant prove it with actual facts ( which makes sense considering Im not in the industry and I dont know any of you people) that makes sense but completely misses the point of my accusation. I pointed out an obvious pattern and Lee agrees thats what transpired as well? Are you asking him to "prove it"? You havent responded to the actual accusation with anything except the word "please" in this entire thread.

Anyway as I said its no skin off my ass what happens to your magazine or to Lee, I was just a customer of your magazine who is tired of watching you guys flip-flop. You had an image, you went with it, it burned you once your bosses boss [ the IFBB] and another magazine who obviously has more power told you to tone it down. You in turn told Lee to turn it down. Lee wouldnt and you canned him.  The IFBB treated you guys like shit for being who you were and you turned around and did the same exact thing to Lee. Case closed

OK Whorewell, since you're just a puppy let's explain it this way. Lee's contract wasn't going to be renewed with Tiwn so he was singing the blues to Steve. Steve, recognizing that Lee was going to lose a substantial amount of income mentioned that he could be the go-between for the IFBB when it was mentioned that the IFBB would be lenient. Lee basically said sure go to bat for me. Steve, being the loyal employer who sticks by his employees, went to bat for him with the IFBB. In the meantime (are you getting all this?), Lee's column came in. It was filled with a lot of self-serving rants about the IFBB and people in the IFBB. Steve, who had reached an agreement on Lee's behalf, didn't want to jeopardize that agreement.  Hell, we would have printed the column had it not been for this fact. Steve pulled the column at the last minute not because of anything Steve might lose, but because it would have affected Lee's chances of getting back into good graces with the IFBB.
Got it now?  I hate law students. When I was taking my law classes I too was an arrogant know-it-all.

I'm laughing because I KNOW that LEE is laughing his ass off at the hysterics being caused over what essentially amounts to NOTHING... Lee is his own man and he marches to his own drummer (and I actually respect that about him)..... Everyone should just drop this "I'm right; he's wrong" act and just let it be.  Being right isn't always imperitive.  Being at PEACE is.  Let's create a little peace and let LEE get on with his life.

Pffft.....

Once again this idea that MD is this professional magazine is outrageously insane. Your mag went from an "all natural" bodybuilding magazine that had professional athletes like Shannon Sharpe on the cover to having half naked sluts on every other page- "MD's no bull, no selling out approach" steroid articles gallore Greg Valentinos ranting about his bowels and trashing flex magazine every chance you got to all of a sudden putting on your knee pads and sucking Flex's and the IFBB' cock after you went too far about that dinner you had with David Pecker and Peter McGough in one of your editorials. Now Lee Priest is going too far??? Dude its so hypocrtical its pathetic. Your whole magazine is predicated on being rebellious ( My previous post in this thread puts everything in proper persepctive)  and now your once again bowing down to the IFBB at the expense of one of your "NO BULLSHIT NO SELLING OUT" athletes who by the way actually has won contests and has a good physique. MD went from a natural mag to a super rebllious I dont give a shit underground mag to a corporate magazine in only a few years. Give us a fucking break. As I said I dont know or care about Lee Priest or MD, but dont sit here and tell the fans that Lee is somehow wrong in this situation and MD is all about professionalism. Whats it going to be next year? MD 'THE HARDCORE VEGETARIANS MAGAZINE!!!!"

hahaha. Gimme a break. That's called business. All businesses change and try different angles to sell the product. Lee is a drama queen plain and simple.

John this is becoming idiotic.  You call it a shit spewing campaign, I dont know the real world, blah blah blah. If anyone comes out looking stupid here its you and your magazine. You say I took what Lee said as gospel and instead I should take what you and your MD cronies said as gospel? lol Yeah great argument.  So I shouldnt believe his version ( and what anyone with half a brain would believe) when he has nothing to lose because he already left the magazine  and instead I should take what you say at face value when you have a vested interest in the magazines success? How is that "living in the real world" John? Thats what you call retarded.
 Now you want to use sarcasm to try and belittle me as to the kind of lawyer I will become? I guess I should have expected as much. No evidence except your "word" or argument with any legs whatsoever and responses laden with insults and sarcasm. I made my point; Which wasnt that Lees right, but that your magazine is trying to pull the wool over everyones eyes. Your image is a complete SHAM.

Dont bother responding- I obviously dont have the wits or intelliegence to live in John Romano's "real world"

Just realized how unprofessional this looks for MD mag - they care about postings on a message board so much that they take the time to respond as if we - the posters - run thier magazine and the industry.

What it shows is that Ms. Jill is actually quite scared about what impact dropping Lee will have on thier magazine.  I guess going the route of Muscle Media 2k - which later became a very boring advertisement for EAS - is preferable to maintaining some sanctity of respect for the sport of bodybuilding.  It's all about supplements, and in this case, the supplement is a spoon full of MD bullshit.

It also seems as if Muscular Development is depending on Jay Cutler to carry the helm of champion for the next few years or something.  Sorry to disappoint you guys, but putting all that money into the Great White Hype is only going to get you as far as October 2007, when he has to give it back to the real champion. 

It's all good.  I just feel bad that MD has stooped to such a low standard for themselves, posting on message boards and everything.  Good luck to your magazine... you guys REALLY need it.

Of course they take what is said on the boards seriously.  Chic says no, but the fact is according to Bleckman, Lee is dropped because of what he put on the boards.  So yes the boards are starting to control the magazines.  God knows the boards and internet are causing allot of problems for them.  I don't even know why people by mags nowadays.  The internet is allot better and you don't have to wait 3 months to see pics from the shows.
