    According to the Denver Post story about his death, Lyle died of a stomach abscess that became septic.

    And I will toss this out that I mentioned in another thread yesterday … I’m reading the 2011 biography of Jerry Quarry and in the part about the Lyle fight, the authors say Lyle was an exaggerator and tall tale teller and insinuate, and no they don’t offer any evidence, that his tale of being stabbed and nearly dying in prison was BS.

    Yours is better I guess because Lyle injuries are not "as serious as Williams" which is laughable.

    Why would I trust you over LaMotta and people who knew him?
    Also angles of pictures are really not valid.

    Never once were you asked to trust me, I showed you the actual footage of LaMotta as an amateur LHW & asked why you wouldn't trust the footage itself.

    WTF is this even supposed to mean?

    & the video I posted showed LaMotta from 5-6 different angles - which "angle" do you require in order to be considered "valid"?

    Those kids were far too efficient to pass for the actual SS agents guarding Trump.

    "Show me any 167 LHW or you can't..." made me chuckle a good bit. Lol

    I wondered the same thing. Train has long since left the station.
