It does seem strange to me, however, that it should only be now that the sad, concave core of the man catches you. All the talk, all the braggadocio, all the "money" (despite money problems), all the careful cultivation of near childish opulence (i.e. Disney's "Blank Check") and all the nearly scripted-for-the-bad-guy-destined-for-a-fall talk has been exhausting to watch for some time now. It must be at least as exhausting to have to constantly drum up this persona.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685246523746844872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130396615173181257.post-36232974197329769762011-09-18T17:02:26.902-07:002011-09-18T17:02:26.902-07:00I was hoping this fight would prompt a post or two...I was hoping this fight would prompt a post or two. Personally, I found this past 24/7 much less compelling than previous incarnations. Floyd's persona on these shows is pretty much set. I can't say I found Ortiz particularly interesting either. I suppose it reflects poorly on me that I don't really care much to hear about his boyhood struggles. Obviously, the situation he came from was pretty bleak to say the least but I can't help feel he is a bit of a phony. Something about how he comes across feels scripted. He plays oh-gee-shucks routine a little too much for me. Floyd plays a caricature of himself on 24/7 (or so I hope for him) but there is some grain of truth to it. With Ortiz I am not sure what to make of him; what is real what is just calculation.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978817122027226235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130396615173181257.post-84517819474637645372011-09-16T19:39:41.490-07:002011-09-16T19:39:41.490-07:00Great post.
