No, folks, it isn't a joke. Bol to join CHL's Indianapolis Ice. No word if he's going to play or be used as a hockey stick.

Ironically enough, I covered Manon's first pro game, which was in Indianapolis, as she was playing for the team against the Ice (it was Tampa's farm team, whoever that was at the time).
Man, was she pretty up close. I almost asked my questions in French, but I chickened out.

Did it? Was there any follow-up article?

according to tuesday's washington post, he buggered off back home, so apparently he quit...

Wrestling has been rhyming with ass. I miss shows and it makes me all shades of ambivalence. WWE is starting to suck again. The crops?
Jeezum Spice! Someone stole my crops. What in the ham fat is going on. That's just poo-doo!

This is an insult to hockey, as far as I'm concerned. Pretty rediculous. You KNEW the guy wasn't going to play. It was rediculous, pointless, and people who bought tickets to see him should feel ripped off and get their money back. Utter crap.

| #10 Posted on 27.11.02 1133.39 | But yet, nobody has a problem with him fighting "The Fridge" on Celebrity Boxing? He will do anything for money to free his people in Sudan from a Taliban-like rule. That's where all of his money playing basketball went. So at least it's for a noble cause. Besides, we all knew he was just going to play in practice. Plus, minor league hockey does anything for ticket sales. A local Ft. Worth team had a "Triple H night" and a night where they sold the whole entire arena out to a local private school both in the same month. They need crazy gimmicks to stay afloat
I loved him like a father. And he betrayed me like a betrayer!
