Our reporter sits in the Great Room at The Manor watching baseball and basketball and sipping cold beverages with Poindexer Del Crunchy and the Man In The Hat.
Reporter: "Well, it was a heck of a weekend for Front Street, Wiz..."
Pointy: "What gave you THAT idea, lad? The fact that Wizardo went 7-0 and won a title or the fact that he broke his drought at flyweight?"
Man In The Hat: "Always a good week or a good month when you win fights in the FCBA. It's not easy to do, as lots of folks, including ME, continue to point out."
Reporter: "There's still some Stewart-bashing going on. It's clear SOME folks STILL don't believe she's for real."
Man In The Hat (shrugging): "Look, haters gonna hate. Nothing you can do about that. But. Kristen has changed some important minds. Minds of Hall of Famers like Portman and Williams."
Reporter: "And some managers. Like Mr. V..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Mr. V my EYE. Ain't nothin' in the world easier to do than have it both ways."
Reporter: "I'm not sure I understand..."
Man In The Hat: "Mr. V's spent the last couple of years tellin' everybody who'd listen than Kristen was yesterday's news and she was never gonna be anything special in the FCBA. Then, she puts her streak together, beats Watson and Portman back to back and earns the title shot..."
Reporter: "And, he PICKED HER TO WIN..."
Man In The Hat (grinning): "Exactly. And, at that moment, there's no way for him to be wrong. If Kristen loses, then his narrative of the past couple o' years is RIGHT. She's yesterday's news. Never gonna be anything special in the FCBA. But. If she WINS, he's ALSO right, because, after all, he PICKED HER TO WIN. That Mr. V. He's a smart guy."
Reporter: "Speaking of Kristen, any more thoughts on who gets the first title shot?"
Man In The Hat: "Yeah. I've made up my mind. And, I ain't gonna leave anybody in suspense. You can break the story. The shot goes to Sarah Carter. Now, let's watch some ball..."
