Urology Channel Dot Com: "Cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in the urine may lead to the development of bladder cancer. Cigarette smoking contributes to more that 50% of cases, and smoking cigars or pipes also increases the risk." Rudy: "I had a couple other things change in my lifestyle—a little bit. Got rid of a couple of habits and going through all of those things at the same time, you know, takes a toll on some of your little crutches that you take for granted to get through little stressful things." ------------------ First of all, as someone who used to shoot baskets in my driveway pretending I was a 6'8 Forward from Michigan, let me say this: Rudy Tomjanovich, you rule now almost as much as you did in '76. Get better. ASAP. Second of all, as someone who used to frequent clubs in Houston also frequented by Rudy T, I'd bet a dollar and a donut that Rudy is essentially taking the year off so quit he can quit smoking like a freaking chimney. I mean, how can you quit a habit like that on the road -- what else are you going to do in a Memphis hotel after getting whipped by the Grizzlies? Adult television and room service can only go so far. 50% of cases? Yuck. I would love for people to quit smoking cigarettes in honor of Rudy or something dreamy like that. Smoking really does jack up your risks for stuff like this. Just think, if Rudy had never picked up smoking, we could still delight in "Jeff-Van-Gundy-is-available" threads for the next six months. Now, we have to read "Mr. Mean can't coach" threads. Thanks, Marlboro. I live in California now, and the liberal-facists have banned smoking in public places out here. I must say, it is preferable. Coming home to Houston and going to the Continental Club -- cigarettes are so late 1990's. "I smoke when I drink." Pffffft. Gross. Dangerous. Not that it is Rudy's fault, I am not trying to pin cancer on him, as if he asked for it or something. Hell, anyone who has had to room with Calvin Murphy, coach Cuttino Mobley and answer to Les Alexander is entitled more jazz and liquor than your average guy. Nonetheless, the smoking connection should probably be noted in this whole deal. Less sanctimoniously, I'd love to get some giant e-card going that we could send him from CC.net. He might have some time to read it. We should also contact Sophie and give her a list of diversions for Rudy. Like reading this site. CBFC
in the spirit of CBrownFanClub's wishing for an eCard, let's add to his great line above to honor the piss that Rudy's bladder as had to endure, copy the following, add one line to the list just above the line "[add next comment here] like this: "Hell, anyone who has had to room with Calvin Murphy, coach Cuttino Mobley, call MadMax in his office to kick him off the team [add next comment here] and answer to Les Alexander is entitled more jazz and liquor than your average guy."
A very good post overall, but im not sure you would want Rudy to read this site if you want him to stop smoking. As much negative talk on here about Rudy with his 2nd youngest team in the league he might resort to smoking crack. Ive always liked Rudy as a coach as a person. And nothing will ever change that. Cheers Rudy... The Rox need you around them to make them a better team and to make them respectable.
Now if I can understand this properly, Rudy T picked up smoking recently, I would guess to replace his drinking habit. I would bet that smoking contributes to bladder cancer for those who've been doing it for 30 years. He hasn't been smoking that long has he? My guess would be alcohol before tobacco.
one more to show how to copy from the last list posted "Hell, anyone who has had to room with Calvin Murphy, coach Cuttino Mobley, call MadMax in his office to kick him off the team, start TwoSandwiches, <b>[add next chore above this line]</b> and answer to Les Alexander is entitled more jazz and liquor than your average guy."

JV: He's been smoking forever, not as a drink replacement...

but just think, if he hadn't sat through all those bad callers, he would've never gotten to talk to Smeg.
I veiw Rudy's habits like I did the President's sex life. That is none of our business. Despite what most of yall think, Rudy is a good coach, and I dont think you could force one of his players to say other wise.
