No link as yet. TV stations have broken to news that Muhammad Ali had died.

Loved Foreman also and was a great time for all that were around to see it.
Wow I'm old ;)

[BenLurkin]

Of what an obnoxious lout Clay was (not if)

[BykrBayb]

I think that’s the first time I’ve heard that in about 40 years, but I automatically sang along. Ah, memories!

[Blue Jays]

AGREE!

[Tailback]

Thanks Captain Obvious. Now quit flinging stones, look to your own heart, pray for his soul, and be Christian about it.

Amazing how he could slip a punch.

He almost cracked the top 100 with Stand By Me.

unfortunately, we are now going to be massively deluged with effusions from countless celebrities, politicians, and just about anyone who wants to be noticed, talking about Ali.....

Since I don’t care about boxing and don’t want to see America hating racists honored, I wish we could just skip right past it all.... but the next few days will be crazy, guaranteed.

I don’t understand your statement. He refused the draft or to register for selective service, there is no doubt about that. He applied as a conscientious objector and was turned down.

Perhaps Cosell might be there to greet him with, ‘It behooves us to reconsider the evolution of the player’ or something to that effect ;)

RIP Cassius Marcelus Clay aka Mohammed Ali

My favorite Muslim.

[Shortstop7]

No worries. I was thinking Cosell was gone. So sorry to hear about Ali/Clay. He fought a good fight....in the ring and in life.

Apparently, he was one of the good Muslims. Few and far between.

Perhaps Cosell might be there to greet him with, ‘It behooves us to reconsider the evolution of the player’ or something to that effect ;)

Or "DOWN GOES ALI......DOWN GOES ALI.....DOWN GOES ALI!!!"

[Dawgreg]

Just saw it on CBS. He could sure put on a show and was the “greatest” in the ring. RIP

[hoagy62]

As I recall, the USSC overturned his conviction on draft dodging in 1971 and was then officially listed as a conscientious objector.

I don’t agree with what he did, but it is what it is and can’t be changed.

[dfwgator]

At least he dodged a war the Rats started.

[fella]

Ditto that.

[MuttTheHoople]

His soul is out of my control. I’ll pray for his family.

[jsanders2001]

He’s been around so long I thought he was older than that. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
