    Good read! I duck into ShamSports for #'s every now and then.... I think it was a poster here (Bima,CH, ???) who steered me there with their comments a long time ago. :grin:

    Didn't know he was British. After seeing the headline I couldn't help but read his quotes with that accent.

    Wow! Great read, Bima. I would love it if Les and Daryl brought Mark "over the pond" and gave him a job in Morey's inner circle of number crunchers, or whatever the heck they should be called. Perhaps you and/or Clutch could suggest it to Morey. It's a great story about what sounds like a great guy. :)-

    I love everything about that idea . . . except the part about Mark getting that job over me! :p

    Hey, you'd be an excellent addition as well. Have you given it a shot? If not, you should. Seriously! If Daryl is as smart as he seems to be, he'd hire both of you. :)-
