Yes, if your claim was true you would have a significant point, sir.
The Sports Doctor sucks up to nobody and never has...nor ever will.
The Sports Doctor is simply making a point that it was refreshing to deal with peoples over the last few weeks who don't project themselves in a holier than thou way.
The Sports Doctor ain't coming to Atlanta anyway so your point (or attempt) is illegitimate.
This has been fun, enjoyed the banter, hope you enjoyed it too, best of luck to everyone in Atlanta.
Sincerely,
Rick Camp
