I fought on the Ali-Bob Foster under card against Henry Clark. After the fights he was down in the bar or lounge area with a bunch of ladies. I came down and kinda stole part of his thunder. He jumped up and said I'm gonna box you and started yelling I'm gonna kick your butt. So that was the beginning of the end for Ali.
Right now I'm scrambling to see if we can borrow sousaphones. You just can't all of a sudden go out and pick one up.

The problem is that it has been difficult to keep track of the changes made by those working on the spreadsheets, and what we have done is provide greater control over e-mailed documents.
Tracker takes the pain out of spreadsheet collaboration. We are not out to replace Excel, which is a popular and very useful application. The idea is to make it more useful by turning it in to an application for tracking data.
The one I fought the best was the last one at Yankee Stadium. After 15 rounds I was not tired and felt I could've fought 15 more.
When I first quit all those years ago, I missed going to the gym as it had become such a habit.
Ali had a break that was an inch and a half long, and you keep getting hit as hard and as much as I hit Ali, the pain would take over and you would pass out.
When I talk to youngsters today, especially those involved in athletics, I tell them to get their education first.
I lost my edge for boxing, I didn't put as much into it as I did before. I didn't run as far. I didn't train as hard. I didn't eat correctly. I started drinking a little bit every now and then.
Hitting Ali in the body or on the arms was like hitting a piece of cement.
We have been pleased with the way he has developed into the vocal leader of our defense. Through the spring and summer I think there was some question about him being our guy, but early this season it became clear to everyone he was ready for the job. The first half of the season he was our best football player on the defense, period. ... He's been a rock and everyone has leaned on him.
