Hey Bud.. Got that private... funny thing is I had tried twice tonight to send you what you are asking for... and they were returned twice! Let me know when you get them...
and yes you can with the girls and guns logo on it...
Guess we need to have them hunt down the boss man of BKMP...
Good luck with your little project!
Thanks Bud...
No, I think Sandy dropped the ball (surprise!) on that one...
What else is new???
Guess we'll have to do everything ourselves!
I'll need help on the 27th... Any takers???
Hope you like the new shot...
You guys are both welcome...
Let me know!
Thanks Everybody!
I got tons of replies from my posting of Sandy's email.
I got some great laughs out of them.
I guess Matt took pity on me and gave me my 15 posts back so I appreciate that.... However, I'm beat...
I was on South Beach all night at the Miami Premiere of Rush Hour 3...(Met James Caan... he was so cool... Very Nice guy..) I am beat and need to get some rest. Just wanted to let you guys know that I really appreciate all of the nice comments and that Sandy didn't return my email.
If I hear anything, I will surely let you all know. Please do the same... Any news is better than nothing...
and Robin... you ain't going no where! You love it here!
I will catch up with all of you soon...
Photog....
It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it! They are getting ready to get syndicated in Spike. As their official photographer I will just have to tough it out as we shoot the first six pilot episodes all with different girls!
Gotta make some kind of money while waiting for Sandy to do something!
Hope all is well AU!
I thought LeeMalones' response was hysterical!
We gotta have a sense of humor through all of this!
Hope all is well.
Have a great day!
Out of all of the posts I got today, I can't believe I didn't hear from you! I'm not feelin the love from my Canadian buddy! See your Buddy Gillette bought into Nascar... That could be interesting.
Did you read my earlier post today? Might wanna check that out.
Hope all is well up there. I hope your feelings are correct! Run baby run!
Have a good one.
Thanks bud... I've been reading all along but really had nothing constructive to add to the threads... Been real busy (see picture below) Have another shoot with them again this weekend.. they are gearing up for syndication on Spike TV... Had The Pepsi 400 and all kinds of things happening down here.. Covered Michael Irvin's celebration last night in Lauderdale... The highlight of the night was when LT showed up...
So, I'm keeping busy... I never "left" but BKMP hasn't really been setting the world on fire as of late... No sense arguing with the knuckleheads.. If this deal goes through we make some green .. if not we are dead meat. Luckily for me, I'm playing on their dime... ok, their penny... but still... knowing the potential and where we are is painful!
Thanks for the kind words...
Don't hold back Reddog.. How do you really feel????
Thought you guys would want to know that since I couldn't get a return email from Winick I wrote an email to Loretta Hunt and leaned on her Journalistic Integrity to "turn the cameras on the company and find out why they won't communicate with the investors that helped fund the start up of the company"
I got a response but it was from The Man himself:
Hi Jim:
It was totally unfair of you to put Loretta in such a position.
Unfortunately information put out by myself has been taken negatively the past while and I am not about to put out anything until I am 100% locked and loaded.
We are working towards getting this finished and when it is closed and finished I will put out a pr indicating that.
It is again unfortunate that a few bad apples spoil it for the rest, but I have done nothing but put the shareholders first in this venture all the way along.
You and the rest of the shareholders have to understand that your investment was a fraction what was put in to get this company and Network to where it is today.
You and the rest of the shareholders will have to wait until things are finished to get news.
Thank you for your time Jim.
Regards,
Sandy
So there you have it...
Take it for what its worth.
I did email him a response so we will see what that gets us.. But since this seems to be the first response from him in 5 months, I felt obligated to share it with you guys.
Let me know what you think.
Photog
One month ago today Art! Thank God!
There are three PRs that will make this move...
1: US Carrier
2: Sale to deep pockets company
3: SW has been replaced!
Other than that I don't see us moving.
It will move when one of those three things happens!
AU... give the man a break! His wife had them in a Vice.. You know you say things just to make your wife happy!
Now that she is gone he is FREE to speak his mind! John Kerry did about the troops and look where that got him!
Don't pick on Web... That's like shooting fish in a barrel!
:)
Yes, but if history is any clue, which way will we fall on that good news??? We've been on .0001 long enough!!!!!!!
ROTFLMAO!
Somethin like that!
Its not a rumor mill... Its WENDEL! Wendel has you all in a tizzy! Do you really think Wendel knows who is going to buy this company? If so, why would he share it with us?
He's just yankin your chain! Look at the # of posts he's provoked just by hinting that its Score!
Hey DD,,, I got your messages. I agree with you.. Things here have been nothing but dismal so the jerks can buy cheap shares.
Hold tight... Everything will be fine.
I'm beat.. Headed to bed.
Ya'll have a great night.
My thoughts exactly!
Couldn't have put it better myself!
Great post!
Thanks and GOOD LUCK!
Glad to hear it! Good night all! Gotta get my rest if I am going to survive this run!
Hey Web.. I have profited from BKMP already and will do so again my friend! Good to see you excited about BKMP again. The wife must be giving you lovin again!
Glad to hear it bud!
GO SPARTANS!
When the sale is announced, the momo itself will create a run. How can Sandy influence that? He can't! Later down the line when they "divy" up the profits he may screw the shareholders then..... but the run would have come and gone.... Sandy doesn't have to announce anything from here on out except the sale!
Then the momo on the sale will push us right where we want to go.
Who knows, we may get stock in the new company... we may get placed in a tier system .. Where several layers of stocks exist.. who knows..
This to me is when the fun starts. Hell, some people on here are folding like cheap suits! Hope they don't get hooked on the Poker Channel when it comes on cause they FOLD way too easily!
This run will be just what we thought it would be - FUN and Exciting! Grab the package, sit down, hold on and shut up! Ok, scream if you want, but its gonna be fun!
How many fights have you seen where you think one guy is getting his ass kicked and you were sure that if you could call Vegas and place a bet you would win only to have the beat up guy get up and knock the other guy out before you could dial the phone.
We are ONE PR away from where we have been trying to get since BKMP was placed in our portfolios..
Damn... you've waited this long.... why not see it through????
Just makes NO Sense!
Let it ride baby!
How can you say that?
What do you know now that is different than a year ago?
NOTHING!
In fact, you know more now! The SALE is pending!
Its where you wanted to be a year ago but you let these losers talk you into doubting yourself!
Tell me what is different? NOTHING!
Just because you haven't gotten any news updates during the sale process? Geez.... what company puts PRs out during a sale?
By the way... those tires were so hard they didn't go away...
GAS and testicular fortitude were the difference in the winners and losers my friend.
Don't take it personal because its not. You let your emotions get the best of you here.
You can't say with any certainty that this is a bad deal.
How do you explain 2 BILLION in volume?
You can't.
The sale is coming and we will profit from it.
Just some will profit more than others.
If you go back and read all of your posts a year ago, this is all you were asking God for... a buyout or US deal. Now you may get both and you aren't on board..
Keep telling yourself those tires are going away fast... Who ya trying to convince?
I aint going no where but to Victory Lane!
We are not "Stuck"! Good God man... Just because you have made up your mind that the sky is falling, give us a break!
When the sale goes through and we get nothing then you can talk all the negative crap you want... NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN! Educated guesses are all that we have!
Nearly two billion in volume in two days and you still don't think someone knows something? Come on man... Think.. We had no volume for how long... Now we start to pick up steam and you still want to say we are dead in the water...
Someone is dumping and someone is BUYING!
This is what we have been waiting for all along!
Just because you got cold feet and bailed, don't be one of those negative people who get so damn annoying on here!
We have been here before and run and it will happen again!
What if the Billionaire that owns BoDog is the buyer of TFN? You don't think that news of a Billionaire buying the main asset of our holding company would force a run where everyone will make their money back and still make a great profit?
Even if Sandy doesn't want to give us our fair share, the market isn't going to know that and will react to the news of the sale. We WILL get another run on BKMP.
The deciding factor will be WHO buys it. Big name, big run. Simple as that. Until the sale goes through, nothing is going to happen with BKMP. Its that simple. You guys are over-thinking this... This is what we have been waiting for for over a year. We always talked about what would happen IF we got bought out and how happy we would be... Now that the sale is here, you buy into the morons who love to be negative (while scooping up your damn near free shares that they talked you into dumping at a loss) and they laugh at you all the way to the bank!
Oh well.
BKMP will have its day. That day is coming real soon. Either be on board when this runs - maybe for the last time... or don't.. I really don't care. You are my friend and I would love for us to both be all in on this when it runs so we can laugh together otherwise you will be resentful when we go fishing and I make you buy the booze!
I made my bet... I'm sticking with it and going to be a very happy camper when it pays off in the next few weeks!
Its like last weekends NASCAR race... You jumped off the track and pitted because you didn't want to take a chance of running out of gas... The ones that had balls stayed out and took a chance won the race.
Keep telling yourself that dumping out at a loss was the right thing to do... I know a great knee replacement doctor.. Will you be able to afford the knee replacement from wearing yours out kicking yourself in the ass??? Guess we'll have to wait and see!
Cheers!
Thanks... Had to do something with all those Air Show pics! Glad you like it. Wish I had pictures that I had taken of other troops in action!
Oh well.
I am off to bed.
Ya'll have a great night..
Why do you let people get to you????
Young Grasshopper... you have so much to learn!
Don't let anyone pee in your won ton soup!
Just take comfort in knowing that it is going to happen.
Like death and taxes, we know the sale is going to happen. Why do you think over a billion shares were bought today?
Bet that trend will continue and the price will start to rise if there isn't an adjustment at the bell.
Wouldn't ya'll just have a heart attack if this opened with a gap? I'm not saying that's going to happen, but it could. No one knows... Wendel, by making statements like that you make yourself a huge target for investigation if and when this takes off any time soon. If I were one that was looking for insider trading, I would be checking your trading practices and friends and families list if this took off all of the sudden.
Stock, if its meant to be, its meant to be... Its not in our hands now... just keep your cool.... our day will come.....
Sure. I work for a wire service and cover MLB all the time. Why do you ask? I also work with the Marlins and I use to work for the Braves.
I have thought BoDog was the company taking on the Hostile Takeover back before the divvy mess. Maybe Sandy bought himself some time to work a deal beneficial to all. Hopefully this is exactly what we thought it was going to be all along. This buyout could be what we have been waiting for all along. Of course the negative nellies will be out in force and tell me how much money we are down.... check my bank account before you say that.... I have no reason to doubt anyone since I only judge people by the way they have treated me. Sandy has been cordial and polite as well as provided a company in which I have made money and have no reason to believe that isn't still possible.
I hope it happens soon so we can tell all of these JO's where to go. Of course they won't be around because they will crawl back into the holes from which they came...
Somebody knows something Harry! Something is up.. Just waiting for it to happen! No one dumps at .0001... So for that much volume in half a day, someone knows something and isn't talkin!
Mike.. Great to see you posting again.
However, if you watch the slo mo of Chuck getting to his knees, he was in LaLa land and had no business fighting anymore. The last thing UFC needs is their poster child getting killed when they have one of the biggest PPV audiences ever watching. It would kill our investment as well as be a major blow to the sport. It was the right decision, no doubt!
Thanks Out... Having a great day. Gonna have a better one tomorrow! Enjoy the weekend!
Talon.. Its been here before and run up to .0014. Why are you so smart and acting like you know for a fact that it won't happen again? Give me a break! Please get a life.
In this particular case, he was out cold and came back. He doesn't remember what happened or that he was out. You could see his eyes were as goofy as Mickey Mouse's dog! One more hit and the brain may not be able to reroute the signals to keep him alive. When he blacked out, the backup system was already working. Had he gotten hit again, he could have died on the spot. Better safe than sorry. That is why the ref was there... Because its not up to the fighter.. He wasn't able to hold himself up let alone decide if he was fully alert. Life is too short and its only a fight. Not worth dying over.
Cosmo... I love ya man but I have to STRONGLY disagree! If you watch the replay and particularly the slow motion of Chuck getting to his knees and looking to the crowd, his eyes damn near go in two different directions.
He was out and there was NO DOUBT about it. As much as I wanted that fight to go longer, where would we and the sport be if its headliner guy, the coverboy of ESPN the Mag, and several others with headlines as Barbaric and other negatives, gets killed in the ring? Its just not worth it.
It was a great call by TFN Contributor John McCarthy... Just think where the credibility of TFN and UFC would be if he died or was mentally injured had McCarthy let it continue? He may have pulled the plug a bit early on the arm-bar, but that was going to happen. This isn't Heaven Can Wait and the law of probability shouldn't apply, but he may have saved that kid some serious career ending injury. So you can't fault the guy for erring on the side of caution - otherwise the cries for barber ism gets louder and has more merit.
We as fans need to be a little more lenient if we want our sport to grow and not get government intervention.
There were some awesome fights last night. The one they showed as filler after the main event was pretty cool. I think it sums it up when I say I think I got my monies worth. More importantly. Liddell will live to fight another day. Thank God for that.
Thanks to all our Veterans and all our Troops - Heroes in every sense of the word!
My wife said the same thing! She was pissed! Then again she's always mad at something!
Dang Ranzy.. That picture could keep a shrink busy for a year... Intense!
Hope all have a great weekend!
Thanks to all Service Personnel around the world!
Great Post Semi!
It could happen! I have kept EVERYTHING form Day 1! From the very first day they gave us the shares of BKMP from the other shares... Just in case! Hope we don't have to go that route... Don't think we will have to but you never know... Its a CYA type situation....
Have a great day!
BIG John Macarthy joins TFN... That's the BIG news!
Seabee... I don't think it was me personal that would be involved... I think it will be a fan based program... call in type show...
I don't know why she chose to send out this email and to this group of people. I did find it interesting that she didn't use a hidden list of email names... every name she sent it to is listed in the TO: line... at least BCC: so not everyone has their email addresses posted for spammers!
However, I do like the fact that she is getting involved and sending out info when it is obvious that BKMP hands are tied...
I do believe the info was posted in a PR a while back... so it makes this email even more interesting... Guess we shall soon see.
That may not be a bad thing... TFN can still DBA (Doing Business As) and BKMP may be on the table in a pending deal tied to a gag order of some sort... You know, sort of a... You can't release anything until the deal goes through type deal...
Hope we see something soon!
This is a good thing!

Safe Harbor
No mention of BKMP anymore in the safe harbor box... Interesting...
Dude, we didn't sit around here all this time to break even! Get your mind out of the gutter! Until I hear otherwise, I have no reason to believe that it won't run again....
Besides, I'm averaged out at .0002 so I'm even with what I have even though its their money...
I still think we will run higher than we have in the past... just a matter of time. I'm in no rush.
Hang in ther vic... Its gonna happen..
