I'm a fan

So beginith the rant:

It was brought to my attention Saturday that I may have a "man crush" on Fedor Emelianenko. I would like to start by addressing the term "man crush" if that phrase were a people I would embrace its genocide. I cannot imagine how that term came about or how it has stayed in circulation. And to be used around a poker table with other men while watching a fight. The person who threw that gym out in conversation is a friend of mine, and only because of his friendship did I not strip him of his man card and make him wear a skirt.
In fact before we move on here is a list of words never to be uttered around a poker table while watching a fight:
-mary K
-vw bug
-going green
-"man date"
-light beer
-opera
-dietary fiber
-super nanny
In fact, this list could dominate this entire post so I'll stop there.
The point is this I am a fan of Fedor, a huge fan. I have been watching him since Pride and can count on one hand the professional fights of his I haven't watched. Pound for pound he is the greatest fighter I have ever seen, he is skilled and intelligent and constantly improves.
His demeanor at a fight is one of quiet calm and respect. He is never flashy or bombastic. He is extremely famous around the world and gets paid large amounts for his fight yet he chooses to live in the same small town he grew up in where he focuses on his faith, his family, and his training. Nothing would make me happier than to be able to hang out with Fedor on his own turf. (so, if anyone wants to arrange that, go ahead and jump on it. doing so would result in my screaming like a school girl and probably fainting... in the manliest way possible).
So to wrap up Fedor is on my list of people who I think is awesome.
The list (in no particular order, and as I can remember today)
-Mr. Rogers
-Johnny Cash
-Adam Baldwin
-Fedor Emelianenko
-Ben Stein
-John Wesley
-Bud Lauen

So endith the Rant:
