    "He was trying to get me mad, because he knew it would rattle me. But I was too fly for him."

    :lol:

    But hey, at least they let bygones be bygones by the end of it.

    Good stuff.

    I like how he ends it by saying he hopes they can be friends.

    I had another article somewhere where McGovern got into a bad row with Dave and Spike Sullivan at a restaurant. Fists flew and more than a few dinners were ruined and tables overturned.

    I guess that's where much of the pre-fight "bitterness" came from.

    I liked his ending statement myself. Hard not to admire a magnanimous attitude.

    I've read that McGovern had a violent temper.
    I must confess I did ,when young, but I've learned to control it, as I've aged.
