version. But if you think Latin is hard, you should study Greek ! I remember 1<br />
my friend once, traslating a Greek version, wrote that Alessandro Magno hunted<br />
the sparrows usingspears, because there was a Greek word thatmeant<br />
sparrow and ostrich at the same time...|<br />

you have to know thatRome has a king ! His name is Francesco Totti, he is a<br />
soccer player. His team is AS Roma. For a Roman Totti is just as great as Shaq<br />
is for a Los Angeles person, or Michael Owen is for an English ( Liverpool ?)<br />
person !I root for Shaq but this is another story and we'll talk about it<br />
another time and then I'm born in Pisa, not in Rome...|<br />

PM|Roadscholarette|Chicago||roadscholarette@hotmail.com||||10|I've been told<br />
that Howard Cossell didn't like <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong>, never missing an opportunity to<br />
make denigrating remarks about him. While I'm certain <strong>Jerry</strong> didn't lose much<br />
sleep over this, I was wondering if there was some special reason we don't know<br />
about for this animosity?One thing I've also been told is that Cossell<br />
went particularly out of his way for black athletes in all sports, maybe because<br />
of some effort to show himself what a broad minded guy he was. I remember when I<br />
was little, and watched Monday night football with my Dad and brothers, they<br />
used to turn the sound on the TV off, and listen to the audio from the<br />
radio!In retrospect, he was a whiny, annoying, self serving snake and a<br />
wannabe, who dwelled on athlete's failures, rather than their successes.|<br />

cannot downplay Columbo's voyages importance to what became modern America.<br />
Without them, the world would not be what it is today. However, there are<br />
downsides to everything such as the destruction of centuries old societies that<br />
lived fine the way they were. I am not saying go back to those times as even I<br />
would not want to live like my Indian ancestors lived. <strong>The</strong> conquest of those<br />
cultures is history and we move forward from where we were to where we are now<br />
and beyond.I also wouldn't want to live like my white ancestors from<br />
Prussia and France did in the past either. I like how my life is now as I am<br />
from this time. Appel, by the way, is my family name that came with my greatgreat<br />
grandfather who came from Prussia (Northern Germany) in the<br />
1840s.RS: Howard Cosell had no use for anyone who finished second. I<br />
don't think race had much to do with his attitude about <strong>Jerry</strong>. Someone who<br />
Cosell probably thought had talent but somehow lacking because he couldn't, for<br />
whatever reason, win the brash ring of number one.|<br />

glad you pointed out the J<strong>Quarry</strong> v Cosell rub. His early interviews and ring<br />
commentary at <strong>Jerry</strong>’s fights with Patterson, Ellis and Frazier were full of<br />
respect and credit for <strong>Jerry</strong>’s ability. Cosell even relented after the second<br />
Patterson fight that <strong>Jerry</strong> could go the distance without tiring out. It was<br />
later that Cosell seemed to diss <strong>Jerry</strong> in his coverage, somewhere around <strong>Jerry</strong>’s<br />
first fight with Ali. Perhaps it was Cosell’s racial-political bias, or<br />
something that was exchanged in private that soured his perception of <strong>Jerry</strong>. It<br />
may also be that Cosell wanted only to associate himself only with “Winners”.<br />
Anyway, whatever it was, his attitude seemed obvious to me, though I’ve heard<br />
few people ever mention it.|<br />
