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.

    This is truly a wonderful story about two men being able to move past a regrettable and horrific incident. We all could take a lesson from them.

    I was really disappointed last night while watching Jim Romes’ program “The Last Word”. 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.

    Jim 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.”
