“Long Distance” award – Morten Solvik from Norway. Really? I have a reader in Scandinavia? I’m going to drink a Carlsberg beer for Morten tonight!

“Best use of the F word” award goes to Dixonfirst. He writes, “I agree with what you’re saying on standards, but to say that was a premature stoppage you’re out of your fucking mind.” We have successfully identified the one guy in class who’s going to snap first. No sharp objects for you.

The “Really Unnecessary Suggestion” award goes to a guy who will remain unnamed who said, “Have your son get knocked out or your brother hit like that and see if you think that stoppage was good.” Since my son is 7 years old and about forty pounds, I’m betting he wouldn’t get up if he took a series of Petruzzelli’s punches. But the mere suggestion that I strike a child seems out of bounds to me. Disagree with me all you want, but don’t suggest I beat up my family to prove a point.

In case you hadn’t noticed I post my stuff every Wednesday morning, so see you then.

I’m rubber and you’re glue…

Damn you Shaun!
