No prob. I also consider myself a fight professor. Everyone i know turns to me for mma knowledge. One day i would like to have all the knowledge you do. And by the way, the fifth season of entourage has a good ending :)
My pleasure. In my (shorter) time in this business, I have come to appreciate all of the hard work and dedication (as well as politics) that happen by individuals like you, me, and Giovanni behind the scenes. Its a side of the business that few ever get to experience or witness. (nor would they want to) and my hats off to ya for making the show that much more enjoyable (and knowledgeable)
Kudos to you for being such an inspiration and 'role model' of sorts. Your inspiration is noted by many! Shane
