The Punch

[Delphi]

Has anybody heard about the book of this name that's out? It's about the infamous punch that almost killed Rudy T, then a player for the Rockets. I heard a radio interview with the author of the book a couple of weeks ago.

Tomjanovich harbors no hatred for Washington. Check out the photo of them here (http://www.sportsshooter.com/current.html).

I've seen the tape! It was cool! Rudy was trying to sneek up on the guy and the dude just turned around and said "yeah, right" and decked him HARD! That was REAL ULTIMATE POWER!

The punch almost killed him. Rudy T tried to tangle with Kermit in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms after the fight. The author of the book said that if they had fought and Rudy had gotten hit in the face again it probably would have killed him.

Oh yeah, I forget. You were just a gleam in your daddy's eye back in 1977. :p I was a senior in high school, so I remember it pretty well.

One of those links has an avi or mpeg file, but unfortunately you have to have a paid subscription to view it. Most of the news sites like CNN.com and MSNBC.com have gone to that kind of deal.
