Was it "clearly" that way? How so?
I mean maybe he would have - maybe not. Maybe Feaster should have called his bluff. But that carried risk.
As I stated already, the return doesn't matter to me much because for the most part I view it as six of one, half dozen of the other. So I think Feaster did the right thing to make sure he got the 1st, instead of risking getting nothing, or far less.
It is about how Iggy handled it. And I think he handled it like a bit of a dink.
