I watched his farewell tour just now on TVG and as much as I can't stand him, this might have been the first time that he wasn't a buffoon and I'll appreciate that he at least tried to learn the game.

Why would you appreciate that?

You mean you appreciate that he had a fun and kickass job where he got paid to gamble, and you appreciate that he 'learned' something about what he was doing?

That dude is an idiot.

Worse, an idiot that doesn't know when it's time to stop yapping.

Listen, I don't disagree that he is an idiot, but he handled it with class, and while he is an idiot, you can tell that he actually gave a **** about his job and his friends and people he worked with.

Its more then I can say (class and giving a crap) about some of horse racing's media.

The thing that struck me the most, is that Todd Schrupp must take so much abuse from the fans/viewship that in his final minutes, Ken Rudolph went to bat strongly to defend his friend.
