A large portion, but not all.

Snake has always maintained that Tom won fair and square and knowing how competitive both guys were, I wouldn't have thought either would have wanted it any other way.

Great story whether true or not also nice to think it happened that way.
RIP also thoughts/prayers w/ Tom's family and friends.

Not sure if any of you guys saw the movie Snake & Mongoose but I recommend it... It was corny in some parts but still worth the watch
