January 2002 - October 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

One of your posts said, "shrill hype to foist off on all of us ignorant peons."
My dictionary says that a 'peon' is an 'office-messenger' or a 'bull fighter's
assistant'. Look, I'm impressed that you know the word, but I don't understand
your meaning. Likewise, you once wrote, "Lyle would have discombobulated Tyson."
In my dictionary 'discombobulate' means 'disturb' or 'disconcert.' Why didn't
you just say that "Lyle would have worried Tyson" instead of causing us to rush
off to the dictionary. Another time you said, "pure athletic quotient." Koo Koo
Clock. Where have you gone ? Please come back and give me some of your humour
before I go crazy reading bloody dictionaries. |

man i love to hate and hate him i did. no he played up to ali, downed jerry
because he figured his career had nothing to gain from jerry, in the later part
of jerrys career he did dis him quite a bit. JERRY HAD MANY THINGS HOWARD WOULD
NEVER HAVE , THE ADMIRATION OF HIS FELLOW FIGHTS AND FANS, GOOD LOOKS, A BETTER
WAY OF SPEAKING AND THE ATTENTION OF MANY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, SOMETHING HOWARD
WOULD NEVER KNOW HIS WHOLE LIFE. HE HAD A BIG MOUTH, BIG MOUTH, NO HAIR AND NO
GUTS!!! KOO KOO I'M STEAMED!!!|

every post. I can understand R.S. and even get her drift, why all the over
analysis I don't know...like if Ken Norton would have been better suited for
another sport. Who knows...who cares...he was an excellent prizefighter and all
I know is that the first time I saw him fight he beat the hell out of Muhammad
Ali. Norton could not fight going backwards, he couldn't even pitch a decient
jab in retreat. That's why Foreman, Shavers, and Cooney killed him and why he
never fought his buddy Joe Frazier...Kenny was Frazier's sparring partner, he
knew he would be killed. And that's why I believe Jerry would have taken him
down as well. Look at the 3rd round of the fight when Quarry has him pinned on
the ropes. If Jerry had been younger....Howard Cosell....it's just one guy's
opinion, he did go out of his way to promote Black athletes in the 60's and 70's
and they needed to be promoted. Look, it's the year 2003 and were are still
debating if a Black guy is smart enough to be a quarterback or a coach in the
NFL. I think Cosell was smart enough to know if you get people to debate you
views they will want to hear more, the more they listen the more money you can
make from it. Just some of my opinions, now, I'm not a "Rhodes Scholar"
although, some people seem to think I look like Bill Clinton, so maybe my views
are not up to par, I just like to go by the old saying "Keep It Simple
Stupid"...that seems to work for me. Now I'm off for a Cuban Cigar, and a few
Tiger beers in a Saigon Bar...very simple. see ya....|

criticism of Cosell. I agree with everyones opinion of him. I remember Frank
Gifford even didn't have anything nice to say about him. He was an opportunist
who wouldn't even acknowledge anyones existence if it didn't put himself in the
spotlight.About criticism of posts on this board...this is a casually
written web site, it has people posting from all points of view and all kinds of
educational backgrounds. I like it that way, if I didn't I would ignor it. When
I want edited and censored material I will read a magazine or newspaper. There's
many things ive learned here I never read in a magazine. There's knowledge to be
gleaned from all sources. Keep posting everyone!|

with the K.I.S.S. system as it is much less discombobulating calling a shovel a
bloody spade. And talking about the use of big words and Howard Cossell, I
remember seeing film of Cossell interviewing a young, brash Muhammad Ali.
Cossell (obviously hoping to catch Ali out) said to him, "You are very truculent
today." Ali looked momentarily non-plussed before gathering his wits and
replying, "If that means great then that's what I am today." Over here in
Australia I never saw enough of Cossell to form a view of him. Was he wearing a
