People wanted more brain damage for their entertainment $$? Bite me.” —Mortcola suggests cannibalism to those thinking ref Pat Russell pulled the plug on Mike Alvarado prematurely on Oct. 13

“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow!
