These are from Doug Gottlieb's ESPN.com chat this week. I got them from another board and the chat is Insider only now but I thought they were pretty funny from both sides. Wow.
Doug Gottlieb chat

Did anyone ever hear Gottlieb talk on the air one night about how he stopped Fizer? He said in one game Fizer was pushing and shoving and that is what allowed him to be effective...so Gottlieb "claims" he elbowed him in the manhood on purpose and Fizer didn't do "anything" after that point. I don't remember that happening...but it might have? Anyone remember this?
Interesting, I don't remember that.
I tried looking up box scores from their games against each other but could only get stories from 99-00. In their two games Fizer scored 29 and 19 and I found this in the game recap of the Big 12 tourney game:
Reading those game recaps and reading some of the quotes was about enough to make me cry based on how far we've fallen. It led by saying that the Cyclones proved they could win without a monster game from Fizer because he was held to 19, the first time in 6 games he was held under 29!
I'm not surprised by his responses. I also wouldn't be surprised if he would stoop to a low blow to stop an opponent that he couldn't beat fair and square.
The guy is on the same level as Dominique Douglas and Jason Berryman as far as I'm concerned. He stole credit cards and rang up $900 in charges.

those are funny responses
what would you want him to say the typical boring corporate yuppie line?

That can't be real. ESPN moderates those chats, I find it hard to believe that those questions would even get through, much less the "answers" that were supposedly posted by Gottlieb.
Don't get me wrong, I think its pretty damn funny. Just want to make sure that no one construes it as being real is all.
No, I believe it is real. The person answering the questions is often free to choose the ones they want to respond to and he said at the beginning that he was typing for himself that day so excuse any spelling errors.
ESPN has since deleted most of the questions but a lot of people have been talking about it for a few days.

See I think his responses to the chat are funny. People say things on those and here that they would never say to a person face to face. I like the fact that he turned the tables on them.

If he wants to brag it up about how he "stopped" Fizer all you have to do is ask him who is bringing home the bigger paycheck between the 2 and who was a Top 5 lotto pick? Sounds just like when Ruben Patterson called himself the "Kobe stopper."
Originally Notre Dame, but he had a Douglas/Bowman problem understanding that someone elses credit card didn't belong to him. They kicked him out so he ended up at Okie State.
