But history won't record that.<BR/><BR/>I guess Zidane has joined the ranks of players like Lett, Webber, Artest, Sprewell, Bill Buckner, and Thurman Thomas--who were excellent players but will be remembered primarily for one momentary lapse. (Tyson doesn't quite fit the category since he had many glorious moments in the '80s before he turned into Col. Kurtz).<BR/><BR/>Still, considering the stage and the stakes, I'm inclined to say Zidane tops them all.<BR/><BR/>In other news, Hinrich is set to play on the U.S.A. basketball team now that J.J. Redick has dropped out. <BR/><BR/>(Redick shouldn't have been there in the first place, frankly, but Coach K is at the helm this time).DGLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254846037455114337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024323.post-1152797909895597382006-07-13T08:38:00.000-05:002006-07-13T08:38:00.000-05:00for sheer stupidity the only thing I can compare i...for sheer stupidity the only thing I can compare it to is Tyson-Holyfield when Iron Mike confused Holyfield's ear with beef jerky.<BR/><BR/>That was just plain weird too.<BR/><BR/>Of course he did not hurt a team by doing that.<BR/><BR/>Also, there are the two Leon Lett plays. The one against Miami on Thanksgiving when it <B>snowed in Dallas</B> is even funnier than the Super Bowl fumble. Dallas Blocks the field goal and Miami has lost the game, all Dallas has todo is NOT touch the ball and Miami cannot advance it. Lett to the rescue! He dives knees-first right at the ball, all the while you can see his teammates behind him flailing their arms "NO LEON!!!". But he slides on the snow right into the ball, it caroms off his thigh and Miami recovers and advances the ball for a first down.
