He was absolutely a bet, a strong one and I wish the race was really close.....because I might have gotten a price on him in the final, LOL. Nah, that wasn't happening. While I thought the elims were pretty predictable, it was still exciting. There were some nuances that I found interesting. But, you're right, 7/5 was bordering on a gift if you really liked him.
As far as the Gural/Hambo Society thing. Nobody knows what went on behind closed doors. We just saw the sad outcome. What came out from behind the closed doors is nothing more than posturing and propaganda. Finger-pointing and blame. Every single time. Republicans and Democrats, labor and management, and so on. All part of the hypocrisy. But in the end, as I said, I think they are both to blame. I didn't like Gural's press release on the new big race, but again, posturing.
I talked to Gabe Prewitt after the LBJ final, will post thoughts tomorrow
I know what the Hambo plan is next year
