Insite into Rivals Bias...

[Dustin00whoop]

I don't know how many of y'all know this, but I thought I'd share. Read into it what you want, but I think its a pretty telling fact.

Anyone have any clue where Rivals first started & by who? Bobby Burton & Geoff "I Swear I Lost All That Weight Naturally" Ketchum started the Rivals network years ago in.....Austin, TX. The sips, basically, gave them their start. Now you're telling me that ain't gonna dance with the ones who brought 'em. Yeah, right!!!

Where did you find this out?:huh:

[Dustin00whoop]

I've known it all along...just figured that a lot of you might not know it.

So this is a Dustin fact with no proof. ;)

[Dustin00whoop]

I'm sure there is proof. I'm just not going to take the time to find the proof to something that I know I know.
