Is there something about the water in the greater Pittsbugh area that causes
these bizarre outbursts about Pittsburgh professional sports teams? 

If so, it must be getting worse because now they don't even know what rec.sport
group they're in.

Diagnosis on Lindros is in! It's just a sprain. He'll be out "at least one
week," but he may be back right after that. A specific return date has not
been set, however they have 4 days off after they play a home-and-home
against the Islanders on Friday and Saturday, so Dec. 3rd vs the Nordiques
in Philly is a good bet, assuming all goes well.

At the press conference, Eric said that this is something that is going to
happen, it will probably happen to him a few more times in his career, and
it's not something that has him concerned.

I heard Pat Jablonski was also in the running (3rd I guess). He went 3-1
during the week, losing only to Calgary. He stood pretty tall when Wendell
Young was out (Young is considered to be the 1st string goalie - he returned
for a 6-5 loss to the Jets).

 I think you should contact your own national olympic commitee.I'm not sure 
but I have heard that that is the right way to go. And I think you should do 
this very soon, because it is difficult to get tickets because of a great

Hi, I don't know where I should be posting this, but I guess I should
start somewhere...
I'm interested in finding information about getting involved in
wheelchair racing.  I don't know the exact name for this sport, but its
the one where the "wheelchair" is actually a hybrid of a bicycle and a
wheelchair and the driver leans over like a cycle.
Where can I find info on how to get my hands on one of these
chairs/bikes?  Any pointers will be most helpful.  I'm particularly
interested in shops that might handle this sort of thing (preferably at
a reasonable price) in either Pittsburgh, PA or New York City.

X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

Just a thought.....Riddick Bowe/Rock Newman are getting a lot of stick
for supposedly going for Foreman rather than Lewis for his first
defence, plus he'll probably be stripped by the WBC if he does so. I
think that this is a little unfair on Bowe as surely he is entitled to
one real moneymaking voluntary defence before he faces the mandatory
challanger. Considering Holyfield had three fights after he won the
title before he had to face the No.1 contender, I think that  Bowe's
not asking too much in wanting one voluntary defence.

I can understand the British press going apeshit, as they want Lewis
to have a crack as soon as possible, but why is the WBC, alone of the
'big' three, taking this stand? 

If I was in Bowe's shoes, I'd have to figure that fighting Lewis was a
BIG risk and that I'd therefore want to have one really decent payday
before risking it all.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see Lewis winning all three belts,
but I feel we should be fair to Bowe - he's not going to duck Lewis
for long.

 I personally think if holyfield does not retire and gets a rematch, he will
beat bowe using another game plan + put on more pounds and stay away from those
damn weights.  Holyfield should had boxed him instead of trying to slug it out
It was obvious in the middle rounds that his punches were not hurting Bowe, fromthere he should had just boxed, I am pretty sure in vegas that would had won
the fight for him.  Be sure to see me man Michael Moorer to move up in the rankings.  How many people out there thinks he will win a rematch using a different
game plan?   Does he need to bulk up to 220?  Bowe will probaly stay from
all the top rank fighters to last as a champion, Mike Tyson is the only fighter
that never ducked anyone.

One source of information regarding wheelchair sports is "Sports 'N Spokes"
magazine:

Sports 'N Spokes
2111 East Highland Avenue
Suite 180
Phoenix, AZ  85016-4702

In the November/December there is an article about the International Human
Powered Vehicle Races.  The 200 meter event was won by Doug Wight with a
speed of 30.75 mph.  For more information, try:

IVPVA
P.O. Box 51255
Indianapolis, IN  46251

I didn't find anything in the areas that you specified, but some of the ads
in the same magazine showing "hand-cranked" chairs are:

New England Handcycles, Inc.

I also know that Magic in Motion has several:

Magic in Motion, Inc.
20604 84th Avenue South
Kent, Washington  98032

There is another manufacturer in Tempe, Arizona, I think the name is
Leedon.  

The only one of these machines that I have personally seen is a 3 speed
version of Magic in Motion's Cycle-One.  It attaches to a lightweight
chair.

Do you think there would be sufficient interest in in wheelchair racing to
start a newsgroup?

I am not associated with any of the above manufacturers (other than having
met Jim Martinson of Magic in Motion at a sports camp!)

Despite what everybody else is saying, I don't think Bowe is ducking from
Lewis!  Please, I frankly think that Holyfield was a much better adversary
than Lewis can hope to be.  I think he's just trying to gain credibility fast 
by fighting somebody like Foreman.  Holyfield had been there for awhile, and
still hadn't gotten much credibility from the public.  He wants to defeat 
Foreman and in defeating a legend - lift himself up.  Plus the money can't be
all that bad.  Despite this, I think he should fight Lewis, only b'cse he said
he would - not b'cse he should show others that he's not scared of him.

Also, for those mentioning that he's ducking Lewis for Foreman - Foreman is
not a piece of cake.  Just cause he lost to Holyfield doesn't mean he doesn't
have it - he has alot and can conceivably beat Bowe or any other heavyweight.
When you're dealing with Heavyweights - that have that one-punch knockout
power - any one of them is a contender!

Are you forgetting the fight he had scheduled against Razor Ruddock
in the fall of '89 (i.e. a few months before he lost to Douglas)?

He backed out of that one claiming he had a COLD!!
He was seen often out at various bars,etc. at the same time.

At that point Ruddock would have certainly beaten Tyson.
Douglas made it clear that Tyson could be beaten by a good  hard
puncher who wasn't afraid of him (at that time).  Of course
after that loss made him hungry again he beat Ruddock twice,
but Ruddock hurt him more than anyone except Douglas ever had
(as a pro), and demonstrated he was definitly not afraid of him.

It would be possible to generate a BOXING newsgroup

WOW! Any respect I had for George Foreman was lost during the 15 seconds I got
to talk with him at the airport waiting for the redeye back to Houston. GF is
nothing but F-A-T, P-H-A-T, no matter how you spell it. How fat was he?

He was so fat, he had to book on a wide body jet. 

He was so fat, he had to book on first class since his fat ass wouldn't fit
into coach.

He was so fat, he didn't drink a thing 2 hours prior to the flight since he
couldn't fit through the bathroom door. 

He was so fat, Razor Rudduck's lips aren't big enough to kiss his ass!

GF is just plain FAT! He is a slob. I was really really really disappointed in
him. He is nothing more than a walking, talking, poor announcing, wide ass,
freak show. To think that he could possibly be fighting Riddick Bowe in China
for the title is just plain sick. And to think Foreman THINKS he deserves it is
also sickening. Sounds like I'm being a bit tough on the guy? I am. He is FAT!
He doesnt deserve to fight for any title. 

If you think GF is good for boxing, think again. Because of the money, GF will
sign to fight Bowe. And because of this Bowe will get stripped, and rightfully
so, by at least one organization. And why? Because of money and because GF
needs more dough to stuff in his mouth to increase the mass of his fat ass.

I, for one, will not let GF get one red cent from my wallet. I'll let the
people who like to see side freak show contribute to GF fat ass.

Oh well, so much for my 2 sense.

Heard the other day that Rock Newman has publicly called the WBC guy, Jose
Suliman (sp?) a crook and therefore does not have a very good relationship with
him. I see Jose pulling Bowes title for doing anything out of line, sneezing,
farting, anything. 

And as for Holyfield, he is considering staying in the game possibly for a
rematch with Bowe which would leave Lewis out for at least a year and a half.

I think the WBC has every right to strip Bowe as well as the WBA and the IBF.
There could be a hell of alot better fights than Bowe/Foreman such as
Lewis/Moorer, Lewis/Morrison, Morrison/Moorer. Shit, Cooper/Morrison would be
better than the side show of Bowe and Foreman.

I've always thought that the championship should be won and lost in the ring,
BUT (everyone has a but) it is obvious Bowe wants it both ways, the title, the
money, and an easy fight. He is ducking and deserves to be stripped. Although
considering Foremans outstanding performance against the highly rated Stewart
does add credability to the match.

Also Rock Newman might have his license revoked in Nevada because of his after
fight actions. I think Rock will soon understand the politics of boxing the
hard way.
