January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

agreed all the time it wouldn't be much of a discussion, would it? For Cleveland
readers and others in the NFL-know, I've got to mention the recent passing of
former Browns legend Otto Graham : 10 years 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES, 7 Titles, oh
yeah he starred in the NBA too, may have been better than another Browns legend,
Jim Brown. Happy Holidays.|

were opposed to the war grudgingly acknowledge that Fonda was indirectly
responsible for deaths. She's was/is nothing more than a "look at me, look at
me" grandstander with the depth of a mud puddle. It wasn't about the war. It was
about her. |

When someone is "wimpy," they're foolish, a crybaby, a sissy,
ineffectual, socially and usually physically clumsy, unpopular. A person can be
some of those things and not necessarily be a wimp, but a wimp is all of them,
sometimes more.|

English lesson ! As a physicist I knew what WIMP ( Weakly Interacting Massive
Particles ) but this didn' t help me to understand the other meaning. Merry
Christmas to everybody, especially to Evren who lost his father recently. Merry
Christman to the n.1 Massimo' s fan KooKoo also !|

Fonda is a traitor, pure and simple. She NEVER apologized for what she did, she
gave some bs, half-ass comment such as if she offended people she was sorry, but
not for what she did or said. I will never forge the sight of her sitting on a
VC anti-aircraft gun battery and grinning. Don't get me wrong, it is her right
as an American to protest the war and she is entitled to her opinion. but there
is a line between protest and traitor. And I also think that Ramsey Clark has
crossed than line more than once. I did not mean to get political on a boxing
site, but I really detest that woman. |

point on Ali avoiding service in Vietnam: He was practically "guaranteed" by
the military powers that were, that he would not in any circumstance face front
line fighting or even hostile areas. There was every reason to believe that he
might stay stateside for his stint, or that if sent to Vietnam, he would be in
the safest possible areas and give exhibitions or be a source of a morale boost
to the troops. I think Ali was wrong for not going, but that's just my opinion.
Millions of Americans stood with Ali as he objected. But really, my point is
that it wasn't fear of death or lack of courage that prompted Ali's refusal to
go, because he would have been safe and he knew it. It was pure and simple that
he just didn't believe in the cause or even people that were pushing the cause
and he wasn't alone in his beliefs. On Frazier: I think he should have
mellowed out after the Thrilla. To this day, I watch the video of the fight and
the post-fight comments. Ali was very complimentary to Frazier, calling him the
"Joe Frazier: The greatest next to me." |

only person on this site who remembers the defense Ali's lawyers used in his
draft case? Ali claimed he was a "minster" in Elijah Muhammad's sect. And that
Ali could not take part in any war unless directed by Elijah himself. Not the
President, not Congress, but, only Elijah. If Elijah told him to fight, he
fights, Elijah says don't fight, he does not fight. This was his defense claim
in court. Frankly, I am doubtful that this decison took a lot of courage
on Ali's part. What choices did Ali have? This is the same sect that murdered
Macolm X, when he disagreeded with Elijah. Sounds to me it is quite reasonable
that the decision was made out of fear. The current leader of the sect today in
the year 2003 is Louis Farrakham. This is the same man who stated publically,
