    No problem.

    When the story gets condensed down to "Braun sued ESPN" many have come to the idea that he did so without cause, and that soured ESPN to paintball. Knowing the full story, it looks a lot different than that.

        Nope. I don't know of any problems with the Disneyworld show he did, or the episode of Road Rules he hosted at Mare Island. After that I haven't heard or seen much of Fred.

        I stayed at a freind's house the week before the IAO, in PA, and grabbed a video off the shelf - 1999 World Cup Traumahead video. There I was in a sportcoat, next to Fred hosting the show. First time I'd actually seen that video - very wacky - and what was up with my hair back then?

          It was a somewhat similar story. Not being aired when it was supposed to. I don't think his paintball career was going the way he wanted and really didn't want to get into it much. I take it that you don't know where he disappeared to either?
