brawl was fantastic. It warms the coldest of hearts. Lighten up and get your
kids ready for the next game and enjoy it while it lasts because the sourpuss
whimpish officials will overreact and wipe it out. Why wipe out the best thing
that ever happened in sport ? Fans are queueing up for more.|

which, not surprisingly, involved Detroit. The fan behavior was just moronic,
when it's all done maybe two dozen of them should be in jail. Buying a ticket
does not entitle you to be an asshole, this is now, amazingly, a very important
message for today's sports fans. I blame Ron Artest and the other players who
went into the stands, but only to a point. We know where these guys come from
and what they are about. Only a total moron would try to assault one of these
guys, just as in the case of JQs bar fights. Ben Wallace should have received a
much larger fine and suspension, his reaction to the foul was way out of order.
It's actually good strategy to foul him rather than let him shoot, and Artest
had to be sure he would not make the shot after the foul. Artest was flat out
lynched over this, his suspension time is a joke. The NBA needs to take
responsibility for the ghetto atmosphere it has deliberately created for it's
players and fans, it is the reason that league has fallen so far in the last 10-
12 years... Howard C., I agree with your 'elbow rule', but only as long as it's
your head that is elbowed in each event. Entertainment as a whole is at an all-
time low, with this brawl, the Super Bowl nonsense, reality television, and a
long list of other pathetic events, which certainly has included boxing. Jokes
aside, it's tough to watch all this and see where it is continuing to go. What
can I take my kids to see anymore in sports or other entertainment? As a long
time fan of sports in particular, it's very difficult to continually observe.|

Chamberlain was usually listed as 7'2 because he was clearly over seven feet
tall, as to his exact height, no one knows for sure. 7'1 1/8 was used when he
was in college. As he said himself, it's pointless to pin down anyway, his
height was only part of the reason he was so great an athlete and player, like
Shaq today... Wilt was involved in a slew of fights in college and in his early
pro career. Slugging him was the only way to slow him down, and there was a lot
of racism then, just as there is today, only today it is a different brand of
racism. Still, with so many forces against him, Wilt never fouled out. Going
after Wilt in the late 60s and after was considered near-suicide because of all
the weightlifting he did, so few even considered it. Thanks. |

world. I thought Janet Jackson was really good in the half-time stunt but the
killjoys didn't like it and now it will probably never happen again. And
now the killjoys have already started stomping out brawls between players and
spectators. What next ? If I had my way, recruitment of spectators would come
from Chechnya and Basra and other swell places.|

Rome)||.com||||10|Even if I don't think this is very important, I think Shaq
would have beaten Wilt in a brawl !Andre', as short as he was, would have
probably beaten both Wilt and Shaq. Kareem Abdul Jabbar would have beaten
Wilt,Shaq and Andre' as well, as he studied martial arts with Bruce Lee.But
Calvin Lane, at 7'5" 1/2, 389 lbs, 25 EEE shoe size and a black belt in karate
would have crushed Wilt, Shaq, Andre', Jabbar and Bruce Lee to a pulp ! |
