He's obviously a very good rider who's had tremendous success in NY, but he has a history of taking the relatively easy career path, and it hurts his reputation. And until he rides against top riders all 12 months, that perception will still persist among some.

Actually it's a very good analogy in this instance. Ignoring his success against the best riders the rest of the year, in this case, is fitting the circumstance to suit an agenda.

You act like I suggested Memphis was his only game....I could have listed a quarter of the season against non-competition, but assumed that was implicit. The analogy is exactly right.

It is well documented that few people on the planet take analogies as seriously as Andy. Though for the record, I think we need further debate on this Kobe/Memphis issue. Andy could lose this one. COULD!!!

I could have used Minnesota....or Sacremento....or the Clippers in the beginning of the season....or the Wizards......or the Nets.....or Cavs....or Detroit.....or the Warriors...or Pistons.....or Bobcats......but I didn't realize someone would embarrass themselves with the kind of response I got.

But you should have. Considering the amount of time you have been here, I expect more, in all honesty.

I've decided that your analogy is valid and relevant, though poorly delivered. And this poor delivery has cost you the win. As much as I hate to say it, Ateam is the victor here.

Thanks.

You forgot about my Charles Town story from this fall. Also, I still say I deserve mad props for correctly tabbing Zanjero as a Grade I-caliber horse, even though injury and poor timing cost him his Grade I.

Think of how long it took Van Gogh.





























Now THAT'S a bad analogy.
