What's with the ? Seems a bit disrespectful to me.

No disrespect to Morrison. I loved watching his career and he was a very good fighter. The 3 gloves is a boxing tribute for him and my sign-on.

I'll say a prayer tonight for another fallen Warrior.

RIP Champ

What's with the smiley face with shades on next to the thread title? What a ****** and heartless cunt

It is my sign-on and a show of respect for Tommy Morrison who I met twice and was a genuine nice guy. He was a boxer and the 3 gloves shows his fighting spirit. He battled some illnesses recently and was very sick. I meant no disrespect to Morrison as he was one of my favorite tv fighters of all-time.

He should of put a thumbs down or something by it. That threw me off, and that combined with the boxing icons would make you think he's actually praising the situation.
