according to the game show espn teammates:

billups keeps teasing rip about his fur coat, the one w/the fox heads on it...

rip, surprisingly doesn't like rooming w/rasheed the most out of all the pistons; says he's "always blasting his music"

amare's favorite drink is red kool-aid...

the one part of barry zito's body which doesn't match is his "womanly curvy hips"...

zito said brynes doesn't like being called t.a.b.(stands for tired ass brynes)... brynes guessed incorrectly, but said they called him spicolli... which also sounds just as bad...

i'm watching the show, and i have to say, everytime i see a women's team, they always seem to do worse than the guys(ex: team usa swimming does TERRIBLE, team usa volleyball ie misty may and kerri walsh do TERRIBLE); strange eh? aren't women considered to be more social than men? you'd figure they'd know more about each other...

on a side note, but sports related:

wonder if this means wizards aren't gonna be as strong compared to last season... they still have arenas and jamaison... but it's really too bad hughes wanted to play w/lbj. i guess for some, winning > friendship. cavs look like they're going to actually be somewhere in the next season; mike brown, the defensive coach which was so instrumental to the pacers' success is here... hughes, who is one heck of a defensive player, and a good shooter, is also going to be at the cavs. personally, though, i like hughes, but i have a feeling the two play too close alike for this to work. redd was a better fit, but heck, i like redd too; hope bucks become a good force again next season.

they showed the classic boxing upset last night; buster douglas vs mike tyson last night on espn2. if i had known they were showing the thing the whole night, i would've stuck on espn2 and watched the whole thing. instead, i watched the last 2 rounds. indeed, it was one of THE worst upsets ever. tyson was picked 42-1 to win this thing. but all night, it was basically this: douglas was faster, had a longer reach, and dragged the match out, and did not let tyson finish this early. not to say tyson didn't get some good hard hits in, but douglas was just wailing on tyson in the head with that left jab poke of his. this was basically the match:

douglas goes for a series of jab pokes at tyson's head.
tyson tries to get close to "clinch" ykno, hug douglas so the ref can break it up and reset the momentum; it's a common thing if you've ever watched a boxing match.
douglas pushes tyson off himself before the ref gets there and gets a couple of hard, fast hits at tyson's head.
rinse and repeat.

after a while, douglas was just all over the place and went for broke on tyson's head with hooks, straights and uppercuts. tyson's left eye looked swollen-closed. tyson went down for the very 1st time that night in the 10th, and stayed down.

it's too bad buster douglas never tried to really make a name for himself; after he stole the championship from mike, he put on a LOT of weight and never ever boxed again; today he looks like a fatass, not like the brilliant fighter that took down the person nobody thought could be beat that night.
