  1. I’m not sure I get Bruce’s comment ” Buchholz, the faker, is likely looking to see if a burning desire to win can be surgically implanted into himself.”. Is that sarcasm on his part or is he being critical of Clay. After reading the article, it sort of has me scratching my head as to why he is out.
