    I remember hearing a couple years back from my brother that Turbo was on American Gladiators, and when I was flipping through channels, I saw the Rockets old colors and they were showing the old mascot Booster, who we all know now as Turbo.

    Its coming on Spike TV. Turbo's name is Jerry Burrell. Show started at 12 pm, it'll be over at 1 pm.

    What's Burrell's background again? Wasn't he an NCAA runner up gymnast at Arizona or Arizona State? How old is he now?

    I looked around and it said Turbos name is Galen Tomlinson.

    His profile says he is 6'1'' 215 lbs.


    I can't imagine this Turbo being the same as the Houston Rocket's Turbo.

    Of course, American Gladiators' surge of popularity came by the way of a certain reporter...
