He's a COMPLETELY different guy than how his competition interview are, where he's the typical loudmouth American with "the best grip in the world" and best that in that world and blah blah, but he seems fairly ok in this one. Some interesting info!

Haha! Loudmouth American? I have literally never heard more s**t talking, whether it is for fun or for real, than i have from the people on this forum. I have talked with the guys i train with in England about it a few times and you guys only think that we Americans are loudmouth because the ones you seem to see are athletes putting on a show for the crowd and whatnot. We are not all loudmouth or arrogant, it is just something you are taught here to believe. Here is a stereotype for you, nearly all Americans think English people are arrogant bas***ds. Seriously! I hear it all the time. I of course know it is not true, there are just some people you see in all places of the world that might be arrogant and it is easy to make assumptions that all are just like that.

x2. Americans (as in stereotypical Americans) are universally disliked Adam, its unfortunate, but true

The same is probably tru for the English. It certainly is in Wales/Ireland/Scotland Grin

95% of yanks are probably nice as pie, no doubt!

I think we can also say that 95% of Smalls is a c**t. The dubious goals panel are deliberating the other 5% as we speak.

Your comment shows that this site lives up to its name - "The Home of Bullsh*t".

Estonian, is far better than Turkish!
Hence, you're all c**ts. Except Traps, really, but he BARELY gets away with it. Olly is a drama queen according to a Greek woman, so he just is bypassed altogether. Millsy just deserves a f**king slap!

Adam - nothing against Americans mate but you can't deny that a lot of US top athletes have a BIG ego, and when they can't back it up half the time they make excuses, other time they just eat their words and look like bad sports, maybe I'm a harsh critic. I'm not impressed by someone saying "I have the best grip in the world" and dropping a frame or something like that, afterwards.
Our mutual friend Clint is STRONG, but he doesn't go shouting about it, if you're a beast you don't need to say s**t like "I'm the best log presser in the world" before and after a log event if you're clearly not. You seem ok too Grin

I've only seen 2 interviews with Brian Shaw, at Mohegan sun (the best grip quip), and this one where he seems quite alright. Not enough to base an opinion off, but what else have I got to go on? We're not penpals!

A lot of American athletes quietened down during George Bush's presidential reign because they knew everyone was hating on America, I remember a stark contrast between sprinters in the 2000 Olympics and the 2004 Olympics.

But I digress, perhaps I was wrong about our man Brian Shaw initially, and don't have a predisposed dislike for Americans!
