Sure do! Moved heaven and earth to get all the playoff games on videotape from last seasons run to the Superbowl. As I was never gonna get to be there, I called in favors etc. and I now have all the games on tape. I even lashed out for a copy of the Superbowl matchday program, before the game itself! And that wasn't cheap over here neither. Next thing will be a replica shirt...
For those of you who follow the game, watch the Panthers linebackers. Morgan, Fields and Witherspoon; death in white and blue!!

so true
"Dream team??? Just cos the US has the best paid pro league (at least I think it is) then the players concerned think they are the best. Individually they may be highly skilled but they sure don't seem to want to be a team" (Pashkinthepanther)
Have you seen them play? They look like a group playing for themselves rather then the team--all of them looking to be the star of the team; there just isn't any unity. Perhaps it isn't the money issue that motivates them but their over inflated egos--after all are they not the best players America has to field on the courts and should not all the other teams and players quake at their mirror presents?--HA! doesn't seem so does it.

There should be no professional players of any games in the olympics. Time to let amateurs shine.Having a "dream team" of professionals defeats the purpose.

I much prefer to watch college ball, especially the girls. No, not because of that! Because they play basketball, real basketball.

They don't have a baseball team in because they didn't qualify

Obviously I'm daft....
What was the big deal about Brown calling a time out at the end of the game with Spain? Why was it inappropriate?

Apparently in European basketball it is considered poor etiquette to call a timeout late in the game with your team's win a foregone conclusion because it is considered that keeping your defeated opponents on the court longer than necessary is "rubbing salt into the wounds".

Neither was I, I only found out when informed by the commentator, 5-time olympian Andrew Gaze who played briefly in Europe (also some NCAA and NBA).

The said Brown tried to rescind the Time Out when he realized but I guess it was too late...I did not see the game. I loved Brown when he coached the Spurs in the early 90's.
