On a bit of a personal site note, I'd like to point out that rather quietly sometime last weekend Talking Chop went over the one million page view mark (as counted since September 2005). A big hearty Thank You to everyone who posts regularly, checks in daily, or just passes by occasionally. Special thanks to everyone who links to my site or links to my posts. I'm not really a site stat whore, but I do check to see who is coming and going every so often.

Wow! That is good news. I believe every word you say ESPN! But will this guy believe that Hampton is back?
