  • kplo, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Yeah, the way Nolan just kinda stands there, waiting patiently to give the beatdown, is just awesome....
  • soupdawg30, on 10/13/2008, -0/+2He definitely meant to punch him. He didn't really mean to hurt him that bad.
  • MuntrealCanada, on 10/13/2008, -1/+2man, that Kermit Washington story is just sad... He didn't mean to punch the guy, and now Rudy is a scout for the Lakers and Kermit is just going along..
  • inactive, on 10/13/2008, -2/+3Campbell vs. some poor bastard! WOW
  • marvinvenis, on 10/13/2008, -0/+0I remember reading about the Kermit Washington punch as a kid. Some of the facts from that punch are still scary.

    "Tomjanovich's face was so disfigured that he wasn't allowed to look at himself in a mirror until three days after he arrived in Centinela Hospital in Los Angeles."

    Or worse yet...

    At Centinela Hospital, Dr. Paul Toffel, a head-trauma specialist, realized that the top of Tomjanovich's skull was actually an inch off-line from the lower portion. Tomjanovich also had a bitter taste in his mouth.

    "Spinal fluid," Toffel told him. "You're leaking spinal fluid from your brain. We're going to get you up to the intensive care unit and we're going to hope your brain capsule seals very soon."

  • mrogi, on 10/13/2008, -1/+0How about the beatdown Jimmy Valvano put on Houston's Phi Slamma Jamma back in 1983? Cougar fans still have nightmares about that one.
