Buckeye State Blog - Challenging Matt Naugle - Comments

Wish the statehouse worked like that...

Yep.  Ralph is alright by me.  Amazing what a bit of civil conversation will do.  Appreciate the convo today.  I'll share a bit more about it.  At the end I explained the reason for my (admittedly juvenile) challenge to Naugle to box.  King says to me "Listen, if anyone else calls you a pansy I'll volunteer to hold the towel in your corner while you box".  All I needed to hear.  Stand up fella, this King.  Don't agree with him on most things politics, but he's a good man...and I'd hate to let politics get in the way of acknowledging that.  Now...still owe ya the $20.  Though Ralph offered to nix the deal, I once heard from someone I admire "my word is my bond".  You stepped up and I will settle up on the bet.  Just damn glad I rethought that "bet ya a hundred bucks" idea.  Whew!



PS - Ralph King for sure no pansy

Even though I don't agree with most of your views, I hope you stick around. Adds something... you could be like, the Republican in Residence... just don't go all Hickman and shit.

Wow...

there you two go, proving that the world really can be a better place. Bloggers, unite!

Very cool

Glad to see you and Eric see eye to eye in some areas.

For the record - Eric and I

King — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 14:38:07 -0700

For the record - Eric and I spoke for awhile on the phone today. While we differ in some views, we agree on some. Believe it or not, there was no name calling or nothing like that. It was a nice call and proves not ALL liberals are pansies. I hope he feels the same about me and the Republicans.

If Eric ever comes to Cleveland, if the democrats will allow it( haha), I will be more than happy to buy him a beer.

We do agree that both parties, can still stand by their principles, and be able to work together. We as the little guys (both sides) need to push and work to make sure our elected officials work together.

King

you got it

Please make it a new $20

King — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:39:08 -0700

My name is Ralph King. Live in Bedford. PH# is (440)465-1834. I'll buy a beer with the $20, then we can box. If you have never hid behind a keyboard that is commendable. At least we can agree that anyone who hides behind a keyboard, whether they be republican or democrat, is a pansy!

King

OK

Eric Vessels — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 11:05:29 -0700

I'm gonna bet you a 20 spot you don't comment with your name and phone number like I'm about to.

Eric Vessels - 740-417-3333.  Call me and we'll have a lil chit chat.  If you do, I'll hand deliver the 20.  If you don't...go away.

PS - I've never once hid behind a keyboard online.  Not once.  Ask anyone.  Not like some pansy consevatives who comment around here...

did you see that movie, When We Were Kings? its really good, great music too~

Read it! It was stupid!

King — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 09:57:25 -0700

Like I said - Ali was a great fighter, Thats it! Otherwise he was a trouble maker and draft dodger who deserved to be stripped of his title.

As for reading comprehension - put your money where your big mouth is! I took your challenge - Now it is time for you to back it up Mr. Tough Guy behind the keyboard.

Wasn't it the BUM Trevor Berbick that slapped an old washed up Ali around?

King

No, thats OK. I am more of

King — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 09:42:43 -0700

No, thats OK. I am more of a face to face type of guy. This way we can shake hands when it is over.

I read the Oprah post and would have to agree with him. This line of thinking could also be associated with the Rosie "ching chong" O'Donnell.

King

reading comprehension

Eric Vessels — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 09:06:04 -0700

try reading it all again...keep trying. you can DO IT!

OK, hell. Here's a hint.

Thats cool you met your boyhood hero!

King — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 08:47:14 -0700

I think every kid grows up wishing the same thing. Yes, Ali is one of the greatest fighters of all times. As an athelete/boxer he will always be known as "The Greatest" - bar none!

I disagree with his actions outside the ring and the people he surrounded himself with. That being said, I would be in awe today if I had the chance to meet him. He is "ALI" - who wouldn't be.

Don't see how or where this post caused challenge to boxing match though.

King

or maybe

Eric Vessels — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 08:38:31 -0700

maybe we could shadow box...anonymously...on the internets!

I think Matt's mouth just wrote a check his guts won't cash - like to see him prove me wrong - staff

Matt thinks liberal men are pansies. I say we find out.

I HEREBY CHALLENGE MATT NAUGLE TO A BOXING MATCH!

You talked the talk, Matt. Let's walk the walk. I say we sell progressive tickets and conservatives tickets and take our cuts and give them to charity...all the while having a little fun. You up for it? Give me a call over at the shadow organization sane people call ProgressOhio. 614-441-9145. We can set it up
