[Smallpotatoes]

I haven't heard that in ages. Thank you.

Has a nice little reggae feel to it. For a novelty song it was really well done.

Twitter is a little melodramatic right now: "Crazy that Muhammad Ali is dying." Is it really that crazy?

He transcended his sport in a way no other athlete ever has.

Babe Ruth says hello.

We are ALL dying a little each moment. Some of us will hit the finish line sooner. The key to life, in my opinion, is to make the most of those moments with family, friends and acquaintances. And that's why I post here at sj.com. Some of you may not "get" what I do, or even like it, but my take is that if I get myself to laugh, and one or two others to do the same, then that's a good day here on planet Earth.

Ali transcended his sport in a way no other athlete ever has ... Including Babe Ruth. Better?

Nope.

How many countries could Babe Ruth have sold tickets in?

It's a ridiculous statement made by a ridiculous poster.

Read a Babe Ruth book or two and you may learn something.

 

[JC]

How were his numbers against those negroes you can't stand?

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

ABC News: Ali gets his 72 virgins.

 

[HanSenSE]

ABC breaks into regular programming: He gone.

 

[murphyc]

NBC News just reported Ali has passed.

Sorry. Can't take Ruth seriously. Dude was named after a talking pig.

 

[Rainman]

He dominated them, actually. Again, read a Babe Ruth book. You may learn a thing or two.

Somebody go give Dave Kindred a hug.

**** ... No it's not a surprise, but it's still depressing. What a life.
R.I.P. the last American Hero.

@Rainman this is an Ali remembrance thread. What's your opinion of him?

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I won't bother showing his Antonio Inoki episode, which is an hour of your life you'll never get back. But I'll show one of the fun lead-ups to his "fight", in which he has a confrontation with Gorilla Monsoon. Oh, and there's a brief appearance from a certain poster's inspiration.
