I admire anyone who reaches the top, in whatever field it is. I think there is nothing better than a standing ovation, and we should give that to Jimmy every time he wins a BIS. It took years to get where he is, and hard work. It is something a lot of people have tried to achieve, and failed. There are many handlers who would love to be where Jimmy is, and cannot get there. Why? Because you have to give up a lot to reach where he is. I hate to get beat by Jimmy, and I hate that he wins because he has built his reputation. But, I have to admire what he has done, and that cannot be denied. He is at the top of his game, and while we may wish he would play some place else, he has chosen our playground. As was said to me by another lister; "The man on the top of the mountain, did not fall there."
