why do you always have to come across so insecure and condescending?
Now explain to me why club and raiders and the others were "Incorrect" and "Silly".....
I know I got your number and everything... but you think you could do it with out being all insecure and negative? Like get stifle your personal issues just enough to just talk math and numbers?
Please friend, this is your chance to show what you know with out the vitriol
