This morning on ESPN Radio, Colin Cowherd, host of ESPN's "The Herd," mentioned CM Punk and his stance on Nike's recent signing of UFC star Jon Jones.

CM Punk opposes the signing of Jones because he feels his past with alcohol makes him a bad role model for kids. Cowherd ripped Punk and called him a moralist who shouldn't have an opinion on alcoholism, citing several wrestlers charged with DUI as well as several drug related deaths in the industry in recent years.
