watch some news on the fire we have out here in Yucca Valley, its unbelievable.|

Washington, DC area, we just had flooding, and now you're having wildfires---
can't escape this stuff!Massimo: Of course, I would have loved to see the
USA perform better in the World Cup. We've never been a soccer power because
soccer has really only become popular in our country in the last 15-20 years,
but we've been steadily improving. We were all disappointed in the way our team
played in the tournament, though I think we gave Italy a tough match. I've
always loved American Football (I guess more similar to European rugby than
soccer) and baseball, basketball and even hockey. I became interested in soccer
in the mid-1970s, when Pele joined a new professional team in the U.S. in a new
league---the team was the New York Cosmos and the league was the NASL (North
American Soccer League). It didn't last too long, but while it was here, Pele,
even though he was older and past his peak, was amazing. Now we have MLS (Major
League Soccer). The quality of play isn't what you have in Europe, but it is
still pretty good and fun to watch. |

congratulations on your country winning the world cup.Although we are
not big soccer fans, Americans would have been extremely interested if our
country's team had done better in the tournament and we are disappointed that
our team didn't go further in the tournament.|
|7/13/06 11:30:30 AM|Massimo|Roma||wordlchampions.com||||10|Thank you. The
American team gave Italia a very tough match and I think you have already
reached a good level. On a single day you can give trouble to anyone. |

|7/14/06 04:29:00 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Welcome
Jimmy Ellis! Is this THE Jimmy Ellis?Earnie Shavers was here a few weeks
ago. Remember him?|
|7/15/06 11:16:22 AM|Jimmy Ellis|Kentucky||.||||10|Indeed. Shavers did catch me
quick and take me out. However, it was one bad night. I really was the best
heavyweight in the late 60's and early 70's. I beat Quarry and Patterson easily.
I would have beat Frazier, but my corner stopped it too early. Ali was fat, and
just used his weight to lean on me and tire me out. Foreman ducked me.|
|7/15/06 01:34:11 PM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|You're very humble, Jimmy, you didn't
mention that you gave Bonavena a boxing lesson. Muhammad Ali is and will always
be in your shadow.|

to Jump all over France in the World Cup and they did!Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump!|
|7/16/06 10:08:55 PM|Kathleen Quarry-Mauger|Moreno Valley,
Ca||Maugermom@msn.com||||10|Yes Jimmy Ellis you keep on dreaming cause that's
all it is. I was there, I also watched you train, the only reason Jerry didn't
whip your ass was I had just lost our baby....so keep on jimmy dreams are what
makes us.|
|7/17/06 12:23:22 AM|Jimmy Ellis|Kentucky||.||||10|You can make excuses all you
want. The fight was not close, I lopsidedly beat Jerry. He usually lost when he
stepped up in competition, except for the big, slow, talentless sluggers like
Shavers and Lyle.|
|7/17/06 09:14:10 AM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron||||10|Jimmy: You were
talented---a nice boxer. But do you think you stayed in the game too long? By
the way, if JQ's back wasn't injured, I think he would have taken you out. But
fair is fair and you did get the win. You also did a good job in the "Rumble
Down Under" against Frazier, but Dundee stopped it. |
|7/17/06 10:46:34 AM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Folks,
although I think Earnie Shavers did post here recently and the real Jimmy Ellis
might have posted in condolance of Mike's passing, I doubt the recent so called
