I think we all knew all along that we'll never see a Victor or a Wolf be allowed to win the crown. Call it politics, call it not giving the farm to the competitor, call it what you want. Jay admitted he won in 2007 with sub-par conditioning. Vic and Dex had lifetime best conditioning - there's nothing more they can really do.
Now, we have a legitimiate chance for Dexter to topple Jay Cutler. I bet Dex will be pulling out all the stops now.
