    Sorry....but you do not sound that credible.

    Steve Francis is explicit. On TV. We already knew that. It's a bad habit. It's not like he is doing drugs. Who cares if he uses a lot of vulgarity? All players do. Even Yao.

    Anyways.....Rudy is going to be back!

    From a ballboy......I can volunteer to be a ballboy. Why would they tell me what is going to happen? All I do is pass balls to them. That would be fun...

    i also have an insider and he has stated that rudy will be back, because les is a cheapskate and he wont pay rudy's final twelve million, but the asst coaches will be changed possibly and i have other info but am not supposed to say but the thing is rice is as good as gone and very possibly cato and rudy has said eddie and nachbar were mistakes and eddies drug problem is very serious the rockets knew about before he was arrested and warned him to stopbut look for:moochie,rice,and cato to be moved and if that means it could cost us eddie and nachbar in the process but mo will be back next yr they are looking for a superstar on team who is trying to unload salaries and the guys mentioned were glenn robinson,shareef abdur rahim,allan houston,tim thomas,

    wow, i didn't know so many people would be unbelieving of me. but that's ok. thanks for this excellent post. here's the info you wanted to hear: the conversation was had a little less than a week ago and my understanding is the knowledge was obtained a few days before. so this would date the rumor AFTER the ones mentioned in Doc Rocket's (4/21). but just know i'm not trying to take anything away from him, or even asking you take my words over his.

    and for those people that bashed me, i'm not even asking you to believe me! i want to prove that i'm not this Troy Barros character. and so i will post a picture of the shoes as soon as i get them (which should be within the next couple of days or so).

    sorry if the post is a little weak. the main thing to report here was the status on rudy. the other stuff was just there. guys, i know what i'm doing. 'Ball Boy' is safe, i'm sure of it. and that's all i have to say about that. nothing left now other than to keep getting more info (and reporting it on cc.net) and proving myself.

    I had a feeling Rudy was going to "step down".

    Glad to see I'm not crazy for thinking so.

    On the topic of ballboys,

    I knew this guy who was a longtime ballboy i think all the way before the championship years. He stopped working as one about 2 years ago.

    Is anyone on this BBS a former ballboy or a current ballboy who has worked there for a while. Im trying to find out some information about where he went.

    If anyone knew former ballboys or is a longtime current ballyboy please IM me on AOL IM

    My screen name is

    I apologize for my post earlier. I just get tired of so many people with 'insider' info, that come on here and makes stuff up. Your source may be credible it may not be, it may be a ball boy, it may not be....But whatever it is if you are making this up, please do not post any more stuff like this. If you are telling the truth, please post more.;)

    Read again Codell. 'a quality person of high character' a person that uses foul language as a regular part of their vocabulary, in proper educated society, would be considered vulgar and akin to street people, and someone to be avoided. Thats why Steve Francis when he is out and in proper society ( in the presence of the general public) avoids vulgarity and seems to be a perfect Gentleman and of high character.

    This is the funniest thread. This ballboy....who knows everything....he is credible because they know his first name...

    Ballboy Makes It To Front Office!

    This headline reads like a disney film. Little Big League meets Rookie of the Year meets Bad News Bears.

    You're much too polite to be TroyBaros.

    I have all the confidence in the world Rudy T will be back next season. It would really surprise me if he wasn't. SF was on record saying that if Rudy wasn't coming back, he'd have second thoughts about playing for the Rockets. Strong words, but if I had a coach who believed that I was a franchise cornerstone and the key to a title, I'd want him to stay, too. Cancer or no cancer, Rudy will be back next year.

    And Yetti...don't talk if you don't know.

    Glenn Robinson? No thanks he will make us worst. Shareef Abdur-Rahim would be nice, I think he is a great player that no one knows about. Allan Houston? Your joking right? HE has a huge contract and is not that good. Tim Thomas? And what is he going to do for us?

    You can look at my 50-something post count and dismiss what I have to say, but when you hear this, it's gotta make you worry.

    I am currently in college, but my friend's girlfriend works in Houston. She had been participating in crewing (you know, with the boats and paddle and such) with her co-workers, and their group teamed up with some of the people from the Rockets organization.

    During their practice, one of the coaches told the crew-people to imagine a person you hate, in order to bring about energy and exert your maximum effort out of anger... To our surprise, the people from the Rockets organization had used Steve Francis as their source of anger... And I mean, everyone from the Rockets organization...

    According to these people, Francis is the Rocket that gives these employees the most amount of hardships... Understandable, since he's our 'franchise' player, but their attitude about him seems to stem from his awful personality... I always thought everyone from Houston was happy to have Steve Francis. Apparently, the people from the organization itself, can't wait to see him gone...

    I think the Rockets need to re-evaluate their organizational structure. First, ball boys are giving up information on potential personel decisions and now lower level Rocket employees are publicly hating on SF in order to win a boat race. :eek:
