Then show up and post the money.
It's really simple and easy to shut me up. Come here and we will go to the bank together and each put 20k in escrow with a simple contract governing how the money is to be disbursed under what conditions.
You will have 30 days to get your player to the table the day we sign the contract or you forfeit the money.
John, if you want the game, go to St. Louis. I don't know how stupid you have to be to not understand this. Until then, all you are, and continue to be, is a gas bag that just wants to talk instead of getting in the box. He hasn't said no. He's said "come and get it". The champion doesn't have to walk up to the contender. In any sport. So why is this different?
Have at it, king of spin.
