Don't be throwing shade on my man Bobby. Just kiddin'. Geller should get credit for thumping one of the best.

You run the risk of drifting into mediocrity when you use click baiting hyperbole like "owned" and "Staggering" to describe a 5-3 record. Perhaps it is your credential of only being a NM that induces you to seek attention via dishonesty.

Thanks for the $.02 , I hear you. Two miniatures and 5/8 is surprising though!
