I am exactly what i say I am, somewhat of an old hippie who got into martial arts when i got out of the service. I have on a couple of occasions tried to hook up with GoBears on various trips to Chicago... I have given a standing invitation to any of the regulars here to give me a shout when in this area...Quad Cities over on the Ill/Iowa border.....now wouldn't it be foolish to talk a bunch of sh*t and then try to hook up with them?

 Like I said I'm not trying to come across as some sort of Bruce Lee, I'm not even the best Judo player in this area. But I have done a lot of cross training in a variety of arts which makes me a good source of knowledge for these kids wanting to go UFC.

 Years of doing something gives you a feel about how others might be when doing your sport....T.O. lacks the heart it would take to get in the ring against someone who just may beat the h*ll out of him....notice how many tall guys fight in the UFC or other full contact sports?  Very damn few...It is because they break easier....long arms and legs don't stand up to the abuse very well....simple physics, that doubled with the fact that someone like T.O. is totally without ANY training....plus the fact that I could make millions...sign me up, how could I ever pass something like that by?

I bet you McNabb would kick T.O.'s a$$.  Hell, I'd put my money on Andy Reid.

How about Moss vs. Owens?  Boxing gloves in a 12 foot ring.  A referee.  Judges, a packed arena.  The ripped T.O. vs. the lanky Moss.  Besides a lousy fight, what would go down??
