While I do think you were misrepresented or taken out of context - perhaps both - Sam, I think Luke did a pretty good job of addressing that. At one point, and I ALWAYS wish people stopped and gave qualifiers in these situations, Luke makes an off hand remark like "but I don't think Sam meant it that way" or something to that extent, in a tone much like what he began with when the quote was reads to him. Obviously, you really gotta read into it, but Luke did get that this wasn't the entirety of your thoughts or feelings on the subject, and I wanted to throw that out here, especially because I'm a big fan of when the two of you do audio together (my out of context thought).

I'm not trying to make a "thing" out of it, but its one of those things that you guys could have done to avoid the Thought Police scrutiny.

As I have said before, my ProElite.com blog is where I do the majority of my posting. More people need to go to my blog there and either bookmark it or subscribe to the RSS feed.

At the very least you guys probably should have been linking to junkie's or Sherdog's coverage the same day.
