I read it pretty much the same. I read it as more of a shot to Mayfield more so than a comment on Tombstone, be it "not strong or extremely game'. The poke at Mayfield read clearer to me than either perception on the dog. I don't know either, never met them personally, but just reading the interview I would sense some animosity. Be it respect or competition, it just read that way.

Regardless, it was a great interview and a good read. EWO
