Looks like this is the final answer: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/bk/bkn/1671281 Nov. 20, 2002, 10:34PM -Payoff moved up- In a transparent effort to boost the ratings for his new TNT talk show Listen Up!, Charles Barkley will pay off on his Yao Ming-related wager with network colleague Kenny Smith during the show at 6 p.m. today. Barkley had promised to kiss Smith's posterior if Yao scored at least 19 points in a game this season. Yao scored 20 last Sunday against the Lakers, and Smith is making Barkley hold up his end of the wager. "If you make a bet, you pay up," Barkley said Wednesday on a CNN talk show. "I just told Kenny to take a shower before the show. I made the bet, and I'm going to stick by my word." Smith said earlier this week that Barkley would pay up during halftime of the Rockets-Mavericks game on TNT tonight, but a network spokesman said the event had been moved to the Listen Up! show, which Barkley hosts with Ernie Johnson Jr.
Susan - thanks for the article, I have corrected the link here. ron413 - thanks again! I will set the VCR.
No problem, thanks again for finding that, I usually don't spend too much time digging through espn - too much junk. On your "url=" take out the "]" and put it after the url address. So it should be "[ url =http:...]Name you want displayed[ /url]" without the spaces.
Thanks again . . ..so here is a vague Yao Ming reference in today’s London Times newspaper (of all places) that I came across by accident. The article concerns the future potential of Chinese players to succeed in professional tennis. Sorry in advance for the most obscure Yao reference of the day: November 21, 2002 London Times “Why the Future Masters Might Be Chinese” by Neil Harman, Tennis correspondent “When a TV audience greater than the entire population of the United States can tune in to watch a Chinese basketball player performing in the NBA, what might happen to Wimbledon’s viewing figures if China found a tennis player who could win on grass?”
This is going to be one fun night! Dream scenario: Sir. Charles pays his debt; Yao scores another 20 pts. and the Rockets win!, that would be awesome!
