If Victor was smart he'd sit out and get focused on the 2009 ASC and get used to the idea of comming in as he did at the 2003 NYC Pro where he was at his best condition.
With the bum knee he will have a hard time and shouldn't push comming in HUGE or he will look disporportional.
Victor, like most people who roll the dice and has a Never Say Die attitude, will go against all sound and logical judgement due to the folded arms and raised eyebrows of MD and MHP as Special Ed pointed out.
Think of MD and MHP as Coach Bud Killmore in 'Varsity Blues' and think of Victor as the negroe workhorse who had to make the choice to allow the evil coach to put that cortisone in his knee and push himself which will bring on the impending inevitible of a finished career much sooner.
Victor is a nice guy and real down to Earth but he also lives for the attention of the limelight. He can't stay away from not being 'the man' for too long despite any reprecussions.
