No one mentioned Ali in 25+ years until he died.

His punch drunk display at the Atlanta Olympics was only 20 years ago.

No one was talking about that two days ago either.

His punch drunk display ...

I missed that, but I did read an article about him five years or so back.

He was in pretty sad mental shape, the writer visiting him, and describing Ali pulling out pigeon-crap streaked memorabilia in his barn.

Not that I liked the guy, but I wondered where his family was to at least maintain their father's dignity. (Not to mention their assumed inheritance.)

Laila's on tv all the time.
