25 years ago this November, LA Laker Kermit Washington nearly killed Houston Rockets forward (now head coach) Rudy Tomjanovich with a punch to the face. A book called The Punch about what happened is due out around then. According to today's Chron, the two men involved have put the incident behind them. Check it out.

John Feinstein took it upon himself to uncover Rudy Tomjanovich anonymity when he reveiled that he had been attending A.A meetings for 4 years now. It is unfortunate because that is the spiritual foundation of the program and he will never get that back.

Posted by: Craig. Z on November 2, 2002 1:08 AMJim Rome is nothing but a self-righteous hipocrite. All he does is criticize and point out others flaws and short comings, as if he is The Messiah or something. Jim Rome is laughable...In the words of another American idiot, "Maybe he wasn't hugged enough as a kid."
