Pippen was asking for a contract extension, Bill Cartwright and John Paxson
were also hoping for new deals, and the bench was also looking for some
job security.  Jerry Krause put ALL of them on hold because of his obsession
with Toni Kukoc.  Jordan was upset because he felt that if they had a guy who
was producing for the team right now, then why stiff him in favor of someone
who hasn't even contributed anything yet. 

Kukoc was not just being offered more money than Pippen, the rumored contract
was more than Jordan's!  (Some would say that MJ's feelings would be "If anyone
should be making that kind of $$, I should", but keep in mind that Jordan has
actually given up parts of his substantial salary to allow the Bulls to sign
new players).

So, yes, it was a personal thing.  And I think Jordan and Pippen are going to
hear about it later (they were blasting Krause in post-game interviews).

I find it fascinating that the Chinese swimmers have made such huge
improvements. Although I am the first to admit that I do not follow swimming to
any major extent, I have watched the Olympics with interest over many years and
do not recall many Chinese swimmers taking gold medals. I may be wrong though.
Neverthess, I think the reaction you list above is understandable given the
suddeness of the success of the swim team. I'm sure there are those who would
say its down to hard work, good coaching etc, however, I think that most people
will realize that drug abuse is fairly rife in Olympic sports and the Chinese,
like the E Germans, Bulgarians before them +  many others, are merely pillboxes.
A post the other day to the group mentioned a Canadian article which claimed
that many US athletes were sent memos advising them of when athletes should
stand down from their drug programmes to avoid detection. A couple of days ago
a similar article appeared in the Times of London concerning the Chinese team.
I think you have to blind not to see that many, many athletes use performance
enhancing drugs. Maybe the Chinese swimmers are, maybe they're not, who knows,
but its easy to be a little sceptical and cynical about the whole thing.

Strange Olympic Trivia (all from the Summer Games)

What Olympics lasted from May 20 to October 28?

What country banned boxing from their games?

In what Olympics were some events held thousands of miles away from
the rest, and why?

In what track and field event was the gold medal winner's result
bettered by a competitor in one of the multi-event competitions
(decathlon, etc.)

He first took up his sport at age 38. At age 46 he won a gold medal.
At age 50 at the next Olympics, he was offered the gold medal without
having to compete, but turned it down. Who, and what sport?

I do not believe that Wendy Williams is doing the color commentary.  I thought

Rachele, 

Perhaps you could post how the qualification works for the all-around
individual finals and also the event finals.  Are they based on the current
competition too, and are they also country based (i.e. number of gymnasts
per country as opposed to best n gymnasts overall)?

I just finished watching the gymnastics tonight on NBC and during most
of the exercises I noticed that the commentators stayed quiet for the
most part.  Whenver something really obvious needed to be interpreted
they would tell you about it, but otherwise I thought they did a
pretty good job.

What I got annoyed with was the phenomenal number of commercials and
(even worse) the breaks for local news.  I could care less about local
news.  I want to see the Olympics!!

I must also admit that they focused on the US team to the exclusion of
almost everyone else with the exception of Boginskaya from the Unified
Team.  But, let's be realistic here, what more do you expect?

Enjoy the rest of the games.

Wow!  I didn't know this was possible/allowed.  I thought the Olympics
were about nationals vs. nationals.  Where is she FROM anyway?

What is Charles Barkleys problem.

They're up 40-odd to 11 against Angola in their opening basketball match.
Barkley is headed to the basket with another layup, with only token defense on him which backs off in the end and lets him have the easy score.

Barkly turns around and as he runs past the Angolan, elbows him with great force in the chest.

That was almost a king-hit. Very cowardly and stupid. What was he trying to 
prove? He should have been sent off right then and there. There was no need
for such and act of naked aggression against the poor Angolan fellow.
