    Originally from the area, but whenever I drive up from NYC and want to take family out for dinner, there are like one or two decent restaurants in the whole area. And when you quiz locals about good places to eat, they get that whole "upstate/downstate" argument, as in "Why don't you go back to where you came from." So I do.

    I totally remember Alfonso Gomez from that show "The Contender" on NBC.



    It could have been worse for Gatti, though. At least Perez didn't question whether or not Gatti was faking it all, like he did with Michael Jackson.

    @mattchew03: As highly as I think of Michael Jackson's music, I'm not convinced it was unfair of Perez Hilton to question the authenticity of death reports of a guy known to sleep in a sarcophagus.

    @Dagrolord: But there's a difference between questioning reports and flat out saying that Jackson "faked" a heart attack in order to get out of doing the concerts in London. At the very least, the comment was a bit premature.

    @mattchew03: I've actually only seen reports of what Perez Hilton said about Jackson 'faking a heart attack', not Hilton's original comments. The reports indicated Hilton found the events dubious. You may well have read closer to the source than I, and I think we're all aware that Perez Hilton's stock-in-trade is the snark attack. A very long time ago, a friend in high school posited that Michael Jackson's 'Hair-fire' incident was just a publicity stunt. I doubted it, but even then Jackson was already so eerie that I didn't altogether discount it as a stunt. Much later, Michael Jackson held a baby over a balcony as though mere tomfoolery. I can only be so apologetic for having kept a very, very open mind as to what Jackson may have been capable of. I agree it's fair to hold Perez Hilton's actions as often contemptible, but I hold the greater lament that such malicious speculation holds its own glamour and fortune.

    @Dagrolord: While I agree with you, Perez's original report went a bit further than to just claim dubiousness. Here it is:

    This is awful. I attended four of his fights in Atlantic City over the years. In the history of boxing, there may never have been a fighter with a greater disparity between God-given skill and star power. Arturo was a superstar whose defensive skills consisted of blocking blows with his cheeks and jaw. I loved him for it.



    As for Joey Gamache (the opponent he maimed, but didn't kill, Foster), it's unfortunate that he's permanently injured, but post-weigh in weight gain is a long, proud tradition in boxing and wrestling. Those who can drop weight at life-threatening speed, gain much of it back in 24 hours and function at a high level have always had and will always have an advantage over those who fight/wrestle at their "walking around" weight. I'll be shocked if Gamache wins his suit.

    "In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade

    And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him

    til he cried out in his anger and his shame

    I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains"



    Rest in peace, Thunder.
