Muhammad Ali turns 65 today. I've long admired Ali, both as probably the one of the best individual athletes of the 20th century, and as a man of conviction. His struggle with Parkinson's is inspiring as well as his words.
If you've never seen Ali fight, I suggest you watch one his matches. A few years ago, I caught the Rumble in the Jungle on ESPN, and I was transfixed. The man took a ridiculous offensive onslaught from Foreman and turned it into his advantage.
Feel free to share any thoughts you may have about the man.

People don't realize what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy — nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley — I was the Elvis of boxing.

Sounds familiar. Are you sure it wasn't the Dali Lama who said that?

"'Jelly Hat' sounds silly," I told Prince. "How about something poetic, like 'Raspberry Beret.'"

Once. But he decided he didn't like it.
The last time Chuck Norris pooped they called it "The Big Bang."

Do you want forgiveness or respect?
