It’s been reported that current UFC play-by-play man Mike Goldberg has been removed from doing any further NFL games on Fox.

Goldberg, who got his first crack at being an NFL play-by-play man on Sunday, turned in a very poor performance resulting in his first NFL game being his last, at least for the time being.

After Goldberg’s poor performance calling the Lions vs. Vikings game this past Sunday, fans lambasted Goldberg on Twitter and, as a result, Goldberg fired back at fans with a series of tweets defending himself and, in the process, dropped one f-bomb, called another fan an a**hole and called a third fan a douche.

The tweets have since been removed by Goldberg.

Goldberg was originally scheduled to call this weekend’s Vikings vs. Bills match-up, but the Bills PR Twitter account has announced that he will not be calling the action.

Yesterday evening Goldberg went to Twitter to offer an apology to all of the fans for his actions, and his performance on Sunday.

Goldberg, who has been employed by the UFC since 1997, has never once lashed out at the fans. This is the first time he’s ever acted in an unprofessional manner.

Neither the UFC or Fox have issued an official statement on the Goldberg situation. Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk expects Fox to release a statement shortly.

While this is the first time Goldberg’s professional conduct has been called into question, it’s not exactly the first time his sports knowledge has been called into question. Goldberg has been a polarizing figure in the world of mixed-martial-arts since he was hired by the UFC back in 1997 and many fans of the sport have been calling for Goldberg to be replaced.

As of right now Goldberg is scheduled to call UFC 179 which takes place on October 25, which is headlined by the featherweight title fight between the champion Jose Aldo and the challenger Chad Mendes.

Do you think that the UFC should pull Goldberg from UFC 179 on October 25 because of his Twitter lash-out?
