That will clear any old Yao video you may have in cache out of your browser. If the videos still don't play, then I think it may be your browser. If you go to YouTube and click on any other person's video and those videos still don't play, then it would definitely be your browser. If my Yao videos don't work but other non-Yao videos do work, go ahead and tell me which video you're looking at and I'll check into it. You might also want to try using a different browser, like FireFox, Safari, or Internet Explorer 7.

Great funny videos! We need something comical like these to cheer up when nothing seems to be working on the court front. Thank you, John - they are all working now. Great funny videos!

I am realy impressed how relaxed and comfortable Yao was when he was speaking. It's amazing how much he has progressed in learning the English language. I want to call to your attention that the second video (JVG's) does not seem to work - it says the video is no longer available. Take care. <em>Thanks, Luckyme.

I wish I could of been there. We really do miss YAO this year in the playoffs but did Calvin Murphy have anything to say about YAO? <em>Thanks, OJ. Yes, Calvin had the same nice things to say about Yao as everyone else did. Calvin always has something to say. ;-)</em> Hey John you did a great job! I wish I could of been there.

JVG was really classy and seems like a stand-up guy. Never had an opportunity to listen to JVG speak without his "grumpy" coach face or besides talking as an broadcaster. Glad to see JVG has no hard feelings towards the Rockets and vice versa. Would have loved to see Colin Pine in the roast talking about Yao's rookie year. Thanks again for the videos! <em>Thanks, Vince. I have noticed people are embedding them on other sites and not giving YaoMingMania credit, so that's very disappointing.
