I have no opinion of what the drop to 170 will do for him. It's pure speculation at this point regarding how he'll do with the cut. It might be a godsend for him. Might take away his strongest attributes, as the Old Ballcoach theorized.
I have never seen him troll before.Quote:

who said I got up in arms about it? He made a witty remark so I responded with one.Quote:
