I love that Dan Henderson's nickname is now "The Disappointment". And that he lives up to that monicker. Like baseball does, to long-term baseball fans who finally watch a real sport. Like hockey. Especially in terms of what is a team sport and what is not a team sport. Just sayin'.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
