case of being attacked by the man ~or~ the woman! However, the article said that
Philadephia statutes required an arrest when an assault is alleged to have taken
place. Police minimizing things on the spot is how Jeffrey Dahmaer continued on
- lazy cops being conned by a killer. OJ got off because of a legal team
few could afford, and in the end because of a jury who may have been starstruck
with what they'd always thought the Juice was.|

of my all time favorite fighters; and among living fighters he is my all time
favorite. I saw the most recent picture of Joe on the internet after he was
arrested, and he looks to be in failing health. The last time I saw him in
person was about 10 years ago, and he looked great. But, for a heavy drinker 10
years is a long time, especially between the ages of 50 to 60. Add Joes
advancing years, the punches to the head, the alcohol, diabetes (he already has
had a toe removed)and it's easy to realize Joe has major health problems.I
honesty love the guy for all that he has accomplished in boxing. He always gave
a 100%, and never made excuses after a loss. I pray for Joes well being |

Frazier lose the toe because of an accident with a lawnmower while he was
cutting grass? I didn't think it was because of Diabetes.Regarding his
latest episode, I guess we all have to wait to see what the story is. Hopefully
it's something that was a minor incident---though any type of domestic abuse
isn't acceptabe. It was a shame for Riddick Bowe's family when he "kidnapped"
them. I'm not sure they were ever in danger (I don't think Bowe would have
harmed them) but it was a trauma for his estranged wife and children that they
shouldn't have gone through. |

story about a fighter who was accidentally kicked in the face by his young
daughter while they were playing, and was very upset because of the split second
instinct it triggered. Let's hope the Frazier incident was of such variety - a
flash reaction under the influence, as opposed to a dominant life pattern
response.I hadn't heard of a ~diabetes~ related toe loss. If true,
that's not good. The Chicago Cub's diabetic Ron Santo is now a double amputee,
having had multiple surgeries, removing more of his legs each time. A janitor at
our building when we worked was going through a similar experience, starting
with toes. With high blood pressure anyway, plus being overweight, drinking
heavily is just about the worst thing JF could do (not to mention what it's
doing to an already damaged brain). The incident occurred at 7:00 am, and if he
was drunk at that hour, that's another very bad sign... |

places, Frazier was on the Howard Stern radio show a few years ago when the
topic came up about him losing his toe. I thought it was because it was run
over by a lawnmower. Frazier has been a regular on that show over the years and
seems to get a kick out of appearing there.|

repeat on ESPN of an interview with Red Auerbach---and although he admitted to
being biased, he said that Bill Russell outplayed Chamberlain most of the time.
It was interesting because he said the statistics lied. His point was that if
you look at the games closely, you'll see that the first half stats almost
always favored Russell---close, but he would outscore and outrebound
