Wellll...I understand what (and why) yer both feeling that way, butt...

I hope yer both wrong.

Much as I'd rather see him do it in a Blue Oval, I'm gonna root for him all next
year and would love to see him toast the also-rans on stage at the Waldorf with
*GERITOL*!!

Actually I hope I'm wrong too. I like Mark and would love to see him
set the circuit on its ear next season. I just don't think it's going
to happen.

I've loved MM and rooted for him since the coffee car days.

He's got nearly perfect initials and a fabulous surname. :o)

He was old back in the 1990s. I think you've got to put
him in the antique category now.

More power to him--win, lose, or draw, I'm glad that he's
still out there.

You could award him an honorary X, you know, if you really wanted to. :)
