He is a beloved-type of figure from boxing. Noone looks down on him for his loss to Ali. Everyone marvels at his growth and maturity that brought him back to the ring and to everyone's kitchens.<BR/>Now he's trying to throw dirt when he can gain nothing from it. Someone drugged him? Since he was fighting Ali, we must assume he means that Ali drugged him (or knew of it). Ali is an icon. Foreman is not. This will only hurt George.rafaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286062038193331350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-62744192483686769652007-05-22T22:01:00.000-04:002007-05-22T22:01:00.000-04:00Len Bias.

All the rule change did for the draft was create a void last year. This year we have added the players that were pushed from last year's draft but we have also subtracted players that could have been drafted this year (under the old rule). That's a net gain of zero.<BR/><BR/>The fact that the players pushed from last year's draft happen to be incredible talents is irrelevant, but it's clouding people's ability to look at this logically.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-68776176353442425562007-05-22T12:41:00.000-04:002007-05-22T12:41:00.000-04:00Oden was in World War II after all...Oden was in World War II after all...ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-27157562122919727422007-05-22T12:38:00.000-04:002007-05-22T12:38:00.000-04:00Looks like Robert Parish... maybe he is Robert Par...Looks like Robert Parish... maybe he is Robert Parish trying to get back in the league?pv845https://www.blogger.com/profile/05318367429970619320noreply@blogger.com
