Wow, that’s a big weight drop for TK. Either he was on steroids, or he stopped weight training and 10 months off the table did him good.

Gersh is an anus, if not paid by the Shea’s, certainly guided by them.
He helped Kobe keep his title the 1st time he suffered from roman method eating in ’02 or ’03.
While Kobe did eat more than 20 hdb’s than the nearest competitor. He still should have been DQ’d, & Eric “Badlands” Booker should have won.
Before anyone says it, this isn’t sucking up. I said this then & many times since.

Oh yeah, i’m running scared…please.
I never intended to go this year.
If gas wasn’t $4.50 a gallon, I would have qualified in E. Peoria or Ocean City, etc.
