Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Interesting interview. But how dare he call some of our posters dumb! How dare he!<br /><br /> Best quote: "I'm interested to see if the hobby can clean up its act before law enforcement and lawsuits eventually do it for them."<br />

Posted By: <b>Joseph</b><p>If Mr. O'Keeffe clicks on the latest forum poll above, he'll see that most readers agree<br />with the premise of his book and that less than 10 percent are "dumb" enough to believe <br />"The Card" is what it purports to be.

Posted By: <b>MikeU</b><p>Actually, the fact that the recent sales did not even happen never crossed my mind until I read this article. PSA's #1 talent is marketing. For the conspiracy theorists:<br /><br />MO: "I am a little flabbergasted that it sold for so much so fast. I guess I'd ask for proof this actually took place. Show me the canceled check!"<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Denny Walsh</b><p>Altough I'm not a judge, nor am I lookin to be one! MO seems to give answers that I would give when I first wake-up after a hard night of sleep, & before my first cup of coffee. <br />a la....<br />"I think good sports news helps sell newspapers and boosts ratings, so why would you want to jeopardize that by reporting that a shortstop or quarterback is a 'roid freak who eats small children?"<br /><br />I am a father of many small children & I love sports (Mostly Baseball). This leads me to believe that MO is a really good reporter, holding out on the info he has about such SS's & QB's and their eating habits... ooorrrrrr!?!?!? He knows notin bout his said job & he makes up alot of Stuff....!?<br /><br />I think my children are safe though.... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />But I'm not to sure bout MO's professional talent!?<br /><br />But as previously stated, "I'm No judge!" <br /><br />Life's Grand,<br />Denny Walsh
