    More documentary support than Harry Greb's existence ever had. I buy it.

    Bold to assume he wasn’t the perfect possible boxer…

    The first time the two sides were in the same room in the same house was in a very different way from the last one and it is a lot more than a lot of times and it has a lot of different ways of doing that but it does have some really nice things that are really good for the job and it is really nice to be able to have.

    Absolutely right.

    Americans speak English, although there's also a non-standard dialect of that language allegedly spoken in the British Isles.

    I'm sorry. You're right: Whatever they speak in the British Isles is clearly not English. I shouldn't have repeated a rumor like that.

    Look, we might have lost our place at the top table, but we are still the global superpower in terns of cheese, beer, whisky, top hats, and sarcasm.
