Every time I watch a Dodgers broadcast, I have this pit in my stomach like it's the last time I'm ever going to hear his voice.

Me too!


Garry Shandling slipped past me...did not hear about him.

just googled him and he made me laugh again,

"What I want at my funeral is an actual boxing referee to do a count, and at 'Five', just wave it off and say, 'He's not getting up.'"

That's going to knock all of our posts down by two grades, you know.

You sure about that, chummo? Fooled me. Looks like you got your "wish." Georgia, huh? Figures! He was a revered and great man to many, not just blacks.

Rest in peace Champ. Just a little education as well. Muslims and Christians both worship the same God, The God of Abraham. And Mr. Trump dodged the draft so if you are ripping Ali for not going to Vietnam I hope you are not supporting Mr. Trump for President. Stated for contextual not political reasons. Love or hate him Clay/Ali was one of the most important people of the 20th century and one of the most important and socially relevant athletes in history. On a card note I had several Clays (Hemmetts and Rekord) on Ebay for a couple months as BIN and sold 4 of the 6 within 2 minutes of each other last night.

I thought religion wasn't allowed on here, but that is not true.

As far as Ali, his religion is irrelevant. He was a great athlete and humanitarian. Arguing about his religious beliefs or politics, both of which don't belong here per the rules, is in poor taste at the time of his death.

Walk around Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, or the United Arab Emirates for a few days espousing that and see what happens.

Which is I haven't missed a call of his this year.
