Keep your inconvenient facts to yourself, buster.

I am reminded of a quote--attributed to either De Gaul or Clemenceau, no one can quite decide which--when he was told someone was "indispensable".

"The graveyards are filled with indispensable men."

And so it is with supposedly immortal sporting traditions.

De Gaul? Clemenceau? usurped?

In a match-up with Kasept - I'd take Tector and the points.

Tector is the worlds sharpest mouthed Italian.

And a lawyer.

I think Tector would be giving points, not getting them.

Actually, that would be an interesting thread in Eso. Head to head DT matchups in debate skills.

I use the term 'debate' loosely.

For instance, DrugS -130 vs Joey Salvator +110

Sterling -110 vs TFF -110

CSC's opinion on one day -110 vs his opinion the next day -110

Coach Pants -200 vs Doreen +170

Etc.

No.

Debate here would be far more gruesome.

The money poured in on DrugS so feverishly that they took it off the board.

we could call it something like the "black sox scandal"?? the only problem is Drugs + sox + scandal??? people will automatically think it has some sexual meaning about a gunked-up sock.

That's why I kept the numbers low like that.

It's a morning line.
