Wow!!! This is a fairly well-reasoned thread.

I'm offended...since my name and reputation is at stake!

Briggs has a helluva jab himself. He's demonstrated this time and time again. I think they will both be
very tentative at first. Whoever get's the first crack in puts the other to sleep. Briggs doesn't have much
of a chin himself.
