66. "I don't think so. Max was deferential to a fault" In response to In response to 65 Thu May-05-22 09:12 PM by Cold Truth
JJ was an athlete, who competed at an elite collegiate level, followed by a respectable pro career as an important piece on a couple of contending teams.
As far as I can tell, his peers respect him.
All that to say, he has a backbone and his tone in situations show that while he's holding back a few degrees worth of heat, he's not here for the fuck shit.
So it's possible, but he comes across like the type to stand up and make you knock him down rather than roll over.
I like Max, and he very often had insightful points that relied heavily on contextual elements to make his points, but he's too jovial and was a bit of a pushover.
JJ has a competitive dog in him that Max doesn't. And while he wasn't a champion or an all star, he had a career that you can't exactly shit on, so he can speak with a fair amount of authority.
