In Response To: Why I love it (Rick Janowski)

To be compared to the great Neil Kazaross is an undeserved honor, even if appreciated, and if the USBGF had been prescient enough to record statistics beginning in, say, October 2008, my winning percentage would be even higher. But, if you were forced to stake your life on the winner of a match between Neil Kazaross and me, I would caution you to carefully consider your life goals before betting on my side.
