I decided to blow a few bucks on 1-900-WCW after hearing Jim Ross
tease comments about Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.  For the most
part, I wanted to see how he'd tell the marks what we already
know...

 -- Ross "happened" to be in Bill Watts' office when Lex Luger
    called.  Ross called it an "amicable" conversation, but made
    it clear that Luger returning to WCW was ==not== discussed.

 -- Ric Flair, according to unnamed "friends", is supposed to be
    "very interested" in working for Bill Watts at WCW.

 -- Ross quoted "rumors" that Hulk Hogan is negotiating with New
    Japan Pro Wrestling to work some dates for them in 1993.  He
    then painstakingly described (a) WCW's working relationship
    with NJPW, (b) WCW's background of co-promotions with NJPW,
    and (c) the fact that WCW/Japan Supershow III is scheduled
    for 4 January 1993.  Could it be, Ross teased, could it be
    that Hogan will make his first NJPW appearance in a WCW World
    Title match against Van Vader at Supershow III?  Of course,
    Ross made it clear that the WWF would do anything &
    everything possible to keep Hogan from appearing on the USA
    pay-per-view broadcast of the Supershow, but that WCW would
    do its best to air that match if it happened.  Ross promised
    more on the Hogan story next week.

 -- As part of an expansion of the light-heavyweight division,
    "rumor has it" that Chris Benoit may be in to work some dates
    for WCW.  In addition, there'll be more light-heavy matches
    on WCW TV.

 -- "Joe Pedicino and his wife, Boni Blackstone" (is this the
    first time anyone anywhere has admitted their relationship?)
    will be leaving the Superstars of Wrestling TV show on
    Atlanta's TV-69 after tonight's show.  Ross called them close
    friends, wished them well, and was sorry to see them go after
    seven years producing Superstars of Wrestling.

 -- Paul E. Dangerously met recently with Steve Williams and
    Terry Gordy, but NOT about managing them.  Ross said he'd
    talk to Doc and Gordy because he believed that "they'll tell
    me the truth".

 -- I called at 10:25pm EDT, and the scheduled "late update" time
    was 10:00pm EDT, so I didn't miss any late stuff...

Was there anything here that (1) we didn't already know and (2)
that we needed to know?  Maybe the Pedicino story, but other than
that... nah...

Well, those Angolans just beat the Spanish by 15+. So they are not a total 
joke team. They actually have a chance to make it to the next round of 
Olympic Tourney...

Gene Banks retired, I believe.  He had a major injury that cut his hoops
career short.  Art Gilmore retired from the NBA but was seen playing in 
a small US league called the Global Basketball Association.  Vince Askew
is either in the NBA or CBA, not sure which.

    Those in Aust saw parts of the game intermittently.  I think it was
very even throughout, with Angola using the 3ptr as a major weapon.  
Detlef Schrempf looked good.  I always thought that Germany would take
control and win more comfortably.  Angola had a very good chance to win 
it since they had the ball with 14 sec remaining and 1 pt behind.  Their
inexperience was probably their downfall as their last possession was
a turnover. Uwe Blab wasn't bad either.  Angola didn't play anywhere
near like they did against the US and when their 3pt shooters are not
guarded closely they may surprise.

Oh yeah!
What do you say to the comment he made the day after on NBC?. 
"He hit me, so I hit him back". The NBC has replayed the tape again frame
by frame and could not find anything that came remotely close to the angolan
hitting Bark ley. 
Do you still think it was a sporting attitude.

    I had my first look at the Dream Team last night and... man...
it was brilliant!
    The game started slow with both sides even at 7 after a few minutes.
Then the DT went on a 31-0 run!! which was ended by a stupid technical
foul by Barkley in which Angola made 1 FT.  Othwerwise it would have
been a 46-0 run !! I couldn't believe it myself although they were
helped by very poor shot selection by the opposition in that time.
(ie. they were shooting from really far out ~NBA 3pt area)
The DT led by 48 at half time and I thought maybe a record or two would
be set.  Most of the time the DT would score after less than 5 seconds 
of possession.  Almost all baskets were layups or dunks.
    However they slacked off a bit in the second half and only
won by 68.(probably took pity on opposition)  They let Angola shoot
3's more openly, and Angola had better shot selection.
    Looks like the 100 pt margin is not attainable because the other
team can just hold the ball for 30sec.
    The Angolan team took and made more 3ptrs than 2ptrs...<smile>
My thoughts on DT:
1. They looked much better with Magic on the court in the middle of
the fast break making pretty passes for layups, dunks
2. I don't know if Barkley should be on the DT now. He elbowed someone
after he made a layup.  Totally unnecessary. (and it's only a 
play-around Olympic game too)
3. Who scores how many points does not matter because it was just
whoever was in the right place for a layup that scored.
4. Bird ran quite fast on some of his layups.
5. If the DT wants records then they should shoot more 3ptrs on the 
fastbreak (layups and dunks are prettier though) and employ a full
court press.
6. They will look better when another PG (Stockton) plays when
Magic is substituted.(For pushing the ball up the court faster)
7. The DT does not even need a half-court game.
                                                  SKH
  Didn't expect to see much of the DT from Australia...

   What is Charles Barkeley's problem? Is he a huge asshole, or
just the most pathetic buffoon of all time.
   While watching the first game of the USA's basketball team in
the Olympic Games I saw Barkeley pull two of the dumbest stunts
I have seen in awhile. First in a crowd of three Angolan defenders
Barkeley went up strong, made the bucket, and got the foul. But
that wasn't enough for Charles. He walks up to one of the
defenders and pushes him in the chest. He Pushes him off the playing
floor! I couldn't believe it. Then to make things worse a few
minutes later he goes by this guy that is giving up about 50 lbs.
to Charles. Barkeley gets the dunk then turns around and starts
back up the floor when passing his defender he raises his elbow
to shoulder level and elbows this guy in the chest as he passes
by. The referee calls a technical on Barkeley with which he
argues and is benched by Coach Daly.
   Now let's see what could be Barkeley's reason. It was a heavily
contested game and the game was close, in the heat of battle
his emotions got the best of him? Nope the USA was up by at least
20. The USA ended up winning by more than 80 points.
   No Barkeley said the next day when interviewed "When somebody
hits me I hit 'em back." The NBC sports team went through the
tape frame by frame and could find no evidence that this player
ever touched Barkeley little alone hit him. So it turns out
Barkeley is a liar as well as an asshole.
   What is the outcome of Barkeley's behavior? The next day
in the game against Croatia the crowd whistled (= boos in international
competition) whenever Barkeley did anything slightly irregular. Plus
they cheered for Croatia instead of the USA when the day before
the cheers for the USA had been deafening.

   What should be done? With or without him the USA will win the
gold medal. Chuck Daly, or the US Olympic Committee should send
him home and teach the little boy Barkeley a lesson he desperately
needs if he is ever to grow up. Barkeley as an ambassador we don't
need.

Peace, but not without justice

Did you see the game? Barkley went up strong (3 times and had three angolans
all over his arms/back/head) after the shot went in Barkley didn't  move
a step, he simply pushed one the guy out of the way. Actually from the replay
Barkley didn't hit him that hard (the guy was off balance and was therefore
knocked over). It was no big deal. This is a contact sport. Barkley plays
tough/rough/and full of emotion... Let the men play!

My my... This was dumb... But jeez he didn't hit the guy that hard. It
was more of a reminder (kinda of a in your face). It was dumb for Barkley to 
do it but it wasn't that bad of a shot. The way you make it sound 
Barkley almost killed the guy. Far from that.

Jeez, Barkley plays basketball. He was picked to play basketball on
the greatest basketball team of all time because he is a good basketball
player. He isn't an ambassador he is a basketball player. He doesn't want to 
be a role model to your kids or an ambassador for the country. He wants to
play basketball and win a gold medal.

About Barkley's foul in the Angola game.  I, being a Barkley fan and totally
understanding his attitude, can not believe they called a foul on that.  He had
just taken that Angolan to the boards and was "sportingly" letting him know he 
screwed up.  Anyone who plays competitively, wheather recreationally or on a 
higher level knows that part of the fun is the ribbing.  The olympics should notbe so tight up as to take away that aspect of the game.

There is no question that students from low scocioeconomic status (SES) score 
more poorly on standardized tests than do students from high SES. It is also
well recognized amoung admissions people that class rank is the best predictor
of success.

How can any high school athelete be so unmotivated as to end up with less than 
2.0 in the core courses?  Surely this must be a case of "pissing off" some 
teachers who were tired of the "I dare you to fail me" attitude. One has to 
work very hard (i.e. don't take tests, turn in nothing etc.) to actually pull 
down a flag in most innercity high schools.  I think we make a grave mistake by
letting kids play when they don't meet at least a 2.0 in high school.  I think 
most of the kids who eventually have grade problems do so because they have 
tried to figure what is the minimum they have to academically to get by. Most 
could do better but there is little incentive for them to do so(unless that
motivation internal or otherwise is already there).

I was amused to see that North Carolina only alows one academic hardship per
year? Is this due to a lack of test takers or what?

A while back there was some mention of the possibility of a UNLV player being
ineligible.  I can't imagine what one would have to do bring this upon
yourself.  Register for differential equations to spite the coach?

I'd like to see a quote where either of these guys complained that 700 was
