    Does anyone know where to find a video clip of 'the punch'?

    Why would you want to see that? I can't stand watching hits like that.

    I'm not sure that there is footage of it...From what I remember from the article in SI, they had no rolling tape of the punch.

    Also, from what I remember, you wouldn't want to see it...

    I think I remember seeing footage of it but it was at an angle from behind Rudy and kind of far off ..not much to really see.
    It seemed like it might have been shot by someone in the stands.

    I've seen it many, many times....I was trying to explain 'the punch' to my wife and thought I would try and find a clip. Every once in awhile they will show it on T.V. Thanks!

    I've seen the punch from a side view on some clip a while back, but all they showed was the clip, and Rudy beginning to fall down. There was no footage of the results, such as Rudy unconcious and bleeding everywhere.

    Has anyone read this book yet or is in the process of reading it?

    I must say, I am half way through and if any of you are old-school Rocket fans and really love good insight, pick up this book!

    Some of the stuff in this book has really shook me. So much that we dont know.

    I read the book.

    Kunnert sounds like a Grade A *******.

    Jabbar sounds like one too. Oops, I forgot. We already knew he was an *******.

    I think both Washington and Kunnert have issues. I can see Kevin's point of view, and to a point, I see Washington's. However, with all the hoopla surrounding this book, I was disappointed to see Washington bring the race card into it and also not accept responsibility for his actions by blaming Kunnert.

    I really started to feel for Washington, with his tough upbringing and all, but after reading the whole book, i felt less sorry for him than I had earlier in the read.

    I still have more sympathy for Washington than I do for Kunnert. He should've just told Feinstein "no comment" if he was going to end every comment with "Kermit should just get over it".
