    It appears to me that Koby is under the influence of a “manager”/girlfriend who does not have his best interest at heart. ( … must be some good … whatever.)

    Koby’s moving to the US could have easily opened numerous doors of opportunity for him. As much as he (his manager) may not have liked many of the terms of the IFOCE contract, had Koby signed, he not only could have picked up a few thou at Nathan’s, even if he finished second, Koby could be going to a plethora of IFOCE contests, picking up many first place checks. Yes, he’s that good, and I can’t see him ever finishing lower than second in any event.

    (I’m also not convinced that Krystals would have stood down in 2010 had Koby re-signed. Koby was the Krystals Champion and Krystals and their fans loved the man … probably even more money down the drain for Koby!)

    Now, instead of Koby headlining top events, he’s trying to lend his name to contests that are as unheard of as I am, and he’s picking up, in essence, pocket change, compared to what he could be making.

    I don’t even know how the man can afford to live, unless his manager/girlfriend is well-heeled. Koby made the biggest mistake of his CE career by not signing with MLE.

    Yeah, Koby, you’re free all right. And, look at you now. I hope you wake up and tone down that estrogen smell that’s overwhelming you.

    Yoko Ono is one of the many people that Brian probably thinks is Rhonda.

    who’s Yoko Ono…arggghhh! I just added 17 more gray hairs, and five wrinkles…..Yoko was John Lennon’s wife when the Beatles started to split up – they say she was partially responsible, and was telling John what to do, much to the chagrin of the other Beatles…..she caused a lot of friction and turmoil……stupid youngsters! How dare you ruin my semi-amusing joke by being young
