Yes, he's still here. He posts on Ihub more than here lately. I'm sure once he collects all the information from other people, the BKMP parrot will squawk his take on it here very shortly. I guess I should say his informer's take. That's if it's positive... If it's negative he'll be gone for a few days. LOL...

So, TFN's April 2006 newsletter has arrived in my inbox.
A bit worried about the spelling, grammar... informal tone is one thing, but downright incorrect is another.
How many people are on this list? Is there not an admin asst in the house?!?
I don't think we'll see any 'big' announcements from Dana tomorrow imo. After all, she's making her 'announce'(sic) via video.
Nice to see the cable carriers catching on!

It CAN be huge... It could be a UFC/TFN relationship of some type. Could be UFC saying something lame like they're going to do the official weigh ins again for the next PPV. Seems like it'll be bigger though.

I don't think they would be trying to piggy back off of their other news last month just to announce, their still doing UFC's weigh-ins. We need big fresh PR.

Whatever the news is, it will have little impact on BKMP's PPS.
Dear Mike,
Let me introduce you to your new friend - meet Mr. Comma.
Somebody needs to proof Garrow's written communications... he should at least try to sound halfway intelligent...
