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.
