Hey nother, IMHO you do not need to be humble when referring to the arrogance of passingthetime.
I'll agree with Mav, his comment about giving up a sport is the most disrespectful I have seen. The players on those teams Mann has been "running it up on" are no doubt giving it their best.
Regardless of win, lose or draw, they deserve to be treated with sportsmanship and respect.
