Podcasts about cassius clay

Author and sports columnist Dave Zirin of The Nation joins us to delve into the Muhammad Ali psychedelia of A.K.A. CASSIUS CLAY (1970), possibly the trippiest sports documentary ever conceived. In this amazing conversation, Dave explains how Ali linked the civil rights movement to growing antiwar protests as well as giving us the lowdown on director Jimmy Jacobs and narrator Richard Kiley, a Broadway legend who looks like a handsy college professor here. Cory and Bob talk about the movie's funkified jazz score by Teo Macro, who scored this movie the same year he produced Miles Davis' fusion opus BITCHES BREW! And Dave sticks around long enough to tell us about the time that George Foreman (RIP) sang Bob Dylan to him. You'll never guess which song Big George sang, so you'll have to listen. Bob and Cory also talk a little bit about the new SUPERMAN movie and speculate if David Zaslav is the greatest studio chief of all time with Super and SINNERS coming out during his watch. We promised Dave Zirin talking Ali and Foreman back in PhilenApocalypse III and gave you THE BIRDS instead. And in THE BIRDS ep, we promised horse movies with Philena's partner Sage and you finally got Zirin and Ali. So the next episode will be Sage joining us for horse movies, but there's yet another programming change. Instead of Smoky and Francis the Talking Mule, you'll get HOT TO TROT (1988) with the great Bobcat Goldthwait plus Elizabeth Taylor in NATIONAL VELVET (1944), which Cory says is the least stony movie of all time but Bob promises is kinda pervy in a disturbing way, so there's that.

Salmos 84: 6El 25 de febrero de 1964, Cassius Clay se enfrentó a Sonny Liston por el título mundial, los de los pesos pesados. En su libro Blood Brothers, Randy Roberts y Johnny Smith relatan que al finalizar el tercer asalto era obvio que Clay sería el vencedor. Fue entonces cuando Sonny Liston le dijo a Joe Polino: «Juice the gloves»; es decir, que untara una sustancia ilegal en los guantes.Durante el cuarto asalto, Clay empezó a quejarse. Los ojos le ardían y no podía ver. Convencido de que Liston había hecho trampa, le pidió a su entrenador que le cortara los guantes, pero eso implicaría perder la pelea. Entonces, el entrenador le dijo: «Mantén la distancia hasta que se te despeje la vista. Esta es la gran pelea. Nadie se rinde en una pelea por el campeonato de los pesos pesados».El quinto asalto resultó ser horrible para Clay; recibió muchos golpes y sus ojos ardían. Fue entonces cuando ocurrió algo extraordinario. El sudor y las lágrimas le limpiaron los ojos, devolviéndole la vista y el control de la pelea. Cuando sonó la campana para dar inicio al séptimo asalto, Liston no se levantó del banquillo, perdiendo así la pelea. Cuando le preguntaron a Clay cómo había logrado la victoria, él respondió: «Sabía que solo tenía que resistir y luchar, resistir y seguir llorando, hasta que las lágrimas me limpiaran los ojos. Sabía que cuando recuperara la vista, la victoria sería mía porque ya había ganado la pelea».Satanás sabe que ya ha perdido, así que hará todo lo posible, incluso trampas, para cegarte y derribarte. Por eso, habrá momentos en los que todo parecerá perdido en tu vida. En esos momentos, el versículo de hoy cobra relevancia. Las lágrimas que tú y yo derramamos como resultado del dolor y la angustia en nuestras batallas se convierten en un manantial que aclara nuestra vista y, unido a la perseverancia, nos conducen a la victoria.Los que colocan su esperanza en Dios, ya tienen la pelea ganada. Son capaces de convertir incluso el valle más desierto y desolado en un oasis del que brota agua de vida. Por eso hoy te invito a perseverar a pesar del dolor y las lágrimas. Resiste y sigue luchando, resiste y sigue llorando. No te rindas, porque tu victoria ya está asegurada.

Muhammad Ali is widely recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all-time and one of the most important figures of the 20th century. In addition to his long and celebrated career as a boxer and three-time heavyweight champion of the world, Ali changed the conversation about race, religion, and politics in America. Ali's refusal to be inducted into the U.S. military during the Vietnam War on religious grounds—a profound act of resistance that resulted not only in Ali's three-plus-year exile from professional boxing, but also a criminal conviction and five year-prison sentence that Ali almost had to serve until it was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court—represented a pivotal moment of the 1960s. Ali has been the subject of numerous books and documentary films, including the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings (1996) and The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013). He is also the subject of the 2001 Hollywood biopic, Ali (co-written and directed by Michael Mann and starring Will Smith as Ali), which focuses on the ten-year period from Ali's capture of the heavyweight crown from Sonny Liston in 1964 to Ali's fight against George Foreman in Zaire in 1974 (the famed “Rumble in the Jungle”). Once a sharply polarizing figure, Ali became one of the most celebrated and eulogized individuals in America, whose rich, if not incomparable, legacy reverberates around the world today.  Timestamps:0:00    Introduction2:22      Formative experiences5:00     From Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali10:26    Opposition to the Vietnam draft13:16     Ali's loss of his prime years15:42     The broader significance of Ali's opposition to induction 18:08    Ali's legal challenges and the U.S. Supreme Court22:48:   The Fight of the Century24:06    From a symbol of resistance to reconciliation27:50     Becoming a global icon: The Rumble in the Jungle35:30    Ali and Howard Cosell 36:57    Ali and Malcolm X41:08    Some problems of the Ali biopic44:12     Ali's post-boxing career47:53    Sports and resistance: Ali's legacy      Further reading:Hauser, Thomas, Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times (1991)Kindred, Dave, Sound and Fury: Two Powerful Lives, One Fateful Friendship (2006)Lederman, Marty, “The story of Cassius Clay v.

We preview the Racine Theater Guild's newest production, "And in this corner: Cassius Clay," which runs this weekend and the next. Shawn Holmes, director of the production, joins us - along with Aquil Ocacio, who is one of two actors portraying the title character. For part two, we replay an excerpt from an interview with Paul Beston in which he talks about his book "The American Kings," which examines the extraordinary legacy of American heavyweight boxing champions from John L. Sullivan to Mike Tyson.

As a young boxer in Louisville, Kentucky, Cassius Clay begins to hone his brash, flamboyant persona while climbing the ranks. After winning the heavyweight championship and embracing the Nation of Islam in 1964, he becomes Muhammad Ali, a figure as polarizing as he is talented. But when he becomes eligible for the draft, he refuses to serve, risking his career and legacy to stand by his beliefs.

Cassius Clay is niet langer Cassius Clay. Vanaf nu heet hij Muhammad Ali, een naam die hij krijgt van de Nation of Islam.Zijn bokscarrière schiet omhoog, zijn naam klinkt wereldwijd. Tijdens een tour door Afrika ziet hij Malcolm X weer, het is een korte ontmoeting niet lang daarna wordt Malcolm X vermoord. Ali blijft achter met spijt, spijt dat hij hem ooit zo hard heeft laten vallen. Terug in de ring strijdt Ali om de wereldtitel en wint van Sonny Liston. Maar de overwinning roept vragen op: was het doorgestoken kaart? Ondertussen dient een ander gevecht zich aan, buiten de ring. De Vietnamoorlog woedt, Ali weigert de dienstplicht, wordt geschorst en raakt zijn titel kwijt. Jaren later keert hij terug, en de wereld omarmt hem opnieuw. The Greatest is niet vergeten. Dan volgt The Rumble in the Jungle, het legendarische gevecht tegen George Foreman. Maar deze aflevering laat ook de tol zien die Ali betaalt. Parkinson sluipt zijn lichaam binnen. Toch blijft hij een symbool van kracht en doorzettingsvermogen. Het hoogtepunt komt in 1996, als hij met trillende handen de Olympische vlam ontsteekt een moment dat de wereld in stilte aanschouwt. Een icoon dat zijn plek in de geschiedenis heeft verdiend.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”Muhammad Ali was meer dan een bokser, hij was een icoon. Geboren als Cassius Clay groeide hij uit tot een van de meest inspirerende figuren van de 20e eeuw. Van een ambitieuze, zelfverzekerde jonge atleet groeide hij uit tot een wereldwijd symbool van vrijheid, gelijkheid en veerkracht. Ali vocht niet alleen in de ring, maar ook daarbuiten. Hij was een stem tegen racisme, een strijder voor burgerrechten en een man die zijn geloof en principes boven alles stelde, zelfs als dat betekende dat hij zijn carrière op het spel moest zetten. In dit eerste deel verkennen we zijn vroege jaren: hoe een ambitieuze jongen met grote dromen zijn plek in de ring vond. Hoe hij opstond tegen de verwachtingen, zichzelf opnieuw uitvond en langzaam de weg bereidde voor een nalatenschap die groter werd dan hij ooit had durven dromen.

Quel retentissement a eu le combat Ali-Foreman sur le continent africain ? En Côte d'Ivoire, ce « Rumble in the jungle » de Kinshasa a été retransmis en direct sur la télévision nationale, la RTI – un cas unique en Afrique et un « cadeau du président Houphouët-Boigny » selon la presse officielle. Cinquante ans après, George Benson, l'un des animateurs vedettes de l'époque, revient avec nostalgie sur les coulisses de cet évènement marquant pour tous les Ivoiriens... Et de leur nette préférence pour l'un des combattants. RFI : Les Ivoiriens avaient-ils une préférence pour ce combat entre Mohamed Ali et George Foreman ?Georges Taï Benson : Pour Mohamed Ali ! Cassius Clay ! D'abord parce qu'il a été champion olympique. Ensuite, il a rejeté le nom des esclaves. Alors ça, les Africains, ils bouillonnent pour ça ! Ensuite, il dit qu'il ne va pas au Vietnam, on lui enlève son titre, il est un martyr et il revient, il renaît. Ah non… C'est Mohamed Ali et personne d'autre ! Et ce combat à Kinshasa, est-ce qu'il était très attendu à Abidjan ?  S'il y avait un mot plus grand que ça, j'allais l'utiliser, il y avait un ouragan d'attente. D'abord, nous avons une tradition de boxe ici, parce que le président de la République, le président Félix Houphouët-Boigny, aimait la boxe. Il adorait la boxe. Je présentais une émission d'anthologie de boxe le samedi après-midi, « Les Grands Combats d'Autrefois ». Et il [le président] suivait avec attention. Il m'appelait parfois pour me demander s'il y avait un KO dans le combat du jour. [Quand il n'y avait pas de KO], je devais changer le programme. Donc nous avions cette habitude-là de boxe.  Donc il y avait des attentes et du public ivoirien jusqu'à la présidence de la République, jusqu'à Félix Houphouët Boigny. La RTI, dans ce contexte, achète des droits de retransmission du combat en direct. Le combat sera diffusé à 3h du matin, heure d'Abidjan [ce qui correspond à l'heure de diffusion aux États-Unis]. Comment vous avez fait tenir les Ivoiriens devant leur télé ?  On avait loué le boxing club [de Treichville], le Palais des Sports où j'ai fait un programme de boxe et de variétés, un combat, des chanteurs, etc. Et ça a maintenu les gens en éveil et c'est au moment où ce combat allait passer, qu'on se rend compte que nous n'aurions que le son international [l'ambiance du stade de Kinshasa, NDLR], on n'avait pas le son avec le commentaire français.  Qu'est-ce que vous ressentez à ce moment-là ?Il y avait une pression. Tu as le président, tu as trois ou cinq millions d'Ivoiriens qui n'ont pas dormi, qui ont attendu, puis tu vas venir leur dire : « On n'a pas les images, on n'a pas le son »... mais tu es fusillé par tout le monde le lendemain ! On raconte que pour assurer le commentaire en direct, vous décidez de foncer de Treichville jusqu'au siège de la RTI ? Mais j'arrive, je me dis je vais mettre du temps. Que nenni ! Personne dans les rues. Tout le monde est devant son écran de télévision ou alors au Palais des Sports. Alors je suis à l'aise. Je passe des feux rouges. Je me rappelle mon entrée à la télévision cette nuit-là. En vitesse ! On me met le casque aussitôt et puis j'affabule : « Mesdames et messieurs, bonjour, nous sommes arrivés en retard, malheureusement au stade de Kinshasa… ». Personne ne s'en rend compte. Je suis fier de dire que cette nuit-là, nous avons évité une catastrophe et nous avons fait plaisir au président Houphouët. Mais surtout, nous avons fait plaisir à cinq millions d'Ivoiriens.  Et justement, comment ils réagissent au moment du chaos de George Foreman et de la victoire de Mohamed Ali ? Quand il est tombé, moi j'ai enlevé mon casque. Ah oui ! J'ai jeté le casque ! Et j'entendais le bruit de dehors : « Oh ! Ali ! Ali ! Ali ! ». On a rapidement pris une caméra... en tant que journaliste, en tant que reporter, tu es excité par ça ! Autant je suis revenu du Palais des Sports où il n'y avait personne... autant le match terminé, c'est l'équipe nationale de Côte d'Ivoire qui venait de gagner la Coupe d'Afrique [rire] : « Ali ! Ali ! Ali ! Ali ! »… On avait emprunté aux Congolais « Boma ye, Ali ! Tue-le ! ». On avait emprunté ça ! Dans les rues, les gens, ils se sont éparpillés. Ils étaient contents et tout. Il y avait du monde, tout le monde… Ah… C'était fantastique.  Quel a été le sentiment aussi des Ivoiriens après ce combat entre Mohamed Ali et George Foreman ?  J'ai senti de la fierté. Tout le continent était fier de voir deux grands champions quand même venir sur le sol africain. Et puis susciter tant d'émotions, de respect, etc. Mais surtout, un champion exceptionnel, Mohamed Ali.À lire aussiBoxe: George Foreman-Mohamed Ali, retour sur un combat de légende

Dans une Amérique blanche déchirée par la ségrégation, sa carrière sportive et sa personnalité hors du commun ont passionné les foules. Connu pour ses prises de position politiques, son talent de boxeur et ses punchlines, cet homme insoumis a marqué l'histoire. Son nom : Mohamed Ali... Un boxeur incomparable Mohammed Ali, qui dans sa jeunesse s'appelait Cassius Clay, est né en 1942 à Louisville dans le Kentucky, en pleine ségrégation. Malgré le fait qu'il venait d'une famille modeste, ses parents ont toujours pu lui offrir une bonne éducation. Mohamed n'a jamais cessé de questionner le monde dans lequel il vivait et comprend très jeune que de nombreuses barrières vont se dresser sur son chemin. Ces barrières, il va rapidement les renverser en croyant en son talent et en se lançant corps et âme dans la boxe, tout en faisant preuve d'un certain franc-parler. Effronté, il n'a jamais sa langue dans sa poche : il est connu pour avoir une rhétorique aussi explosive que ses poings. Il a montré au monde entier que personne ne peut le soumettre.

Le 23 février 1954, à Louisville, Kentucky, le jeune Cassius Marcellus Clay, 12 ans, est furieux après le vol de son vélo rouge et blanc. En déposant plainte au commissariat, il rencontre l'officier Joseph Martin, qui, voyant sa détermination, lui conseille d'apprendre à boxer avant de retrouver le voleur. Martin, entraîneur de boxe, propose de lui donner des cours. Quelques semaines plus tard, Clay remporte son premier combat en suivant les conseils de Martin : "voler comme un papillon et piquer comme une guêpe". Cette rencontre marque le début de la légende de Mohamed Ali, un parcours influencé par son ami Malcolm X, ses phrases percutantes, et ses combats mythiques contre le ségrégationnisme.

The last episode ended on the evening of April 5, 1968. I was unexpectedly leaving Washington DC as my college had been abruptly shut down following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I was in a friend's car and as I looked back, I could see that the clouds in the darkening sky were flickering red, reflecting the light of the fires that were burning, as violence had begun to break out in the city. Within a week, 1,200 buildings had been burned, 12 people were killed and 14,000 federal troops were still occupying the nation's capital.    Now even though the murder of Dr. King was one of the most tragic and deeply disturbing events that could possibly have happened, I am not going to focus on the assassination itself, or on the profoundly traumatic effect that it had on the country. Thousands of articles have been written about it by hundreds of authors who have a much deeper understanding of history than I do. Instead, for the purposes of this podcast series, which again focuses on the ways that consciousness began to evolve in those days, as witnessed through my own personal lens, there are a few key points that I would like to bring up. The first one is that Dr. King was a far greater figure than the iconic public servant that is presented in the current annals of American history. Even though he was one of the primary founders of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as one of the nation's most inspirational orators, there was much more to him than that. He had a highly enlightened view of human potential as well as of its ultimate destiny. As such, he was continually expressing some of the deepest essential truths concerning human wisdom and understanding. In reality, he was at the very forefront of the enormous expansion of consciousness that was beginning to take shape back then. And it is truly hard to grasp how far ahead of his time he really was. The easiest way to realize this is by looking at his lofty position on non-violence, both as a means for resolving conflict, as well as for moving the evolution of humanity forward. For the sake of clarity, let's compare it with the law of the jungle, which has been the basic modus operandi of humanity since civilization began. As a species, our knee-jerk reaction to the seemingly dog-eat-dog world we live in can be summed up in one basic phrase - might makes right. It began in the time of the caveman, as tribe fought against tribe, and over time, man began the process of inventing weaponry. Primitive spears and clubs turned into bows and arrows and swords. And thus, the arms race began. To our great misfortune, it has continued, unabated since then and the constant development of ever-increasing firepower has only served to heat things up. Tragically, even though times have changed dramatically, this basic concept of settling disputes has remained exactly the same. When push comes to shove, we resort to good old fashioned brute force. From the one-on-one fist fight, all the way up to massive conflagrations fought between millions of soldiers, it's still the same old story. One side prevails due to its superior weaponry, along with its unbridled  willingness to inflict severe pain and death on the other side. And of course, it doesn't matter how many innocent people have to suffer and die. What difference does that make when it comes to getting what you want? Now, even though this unenlightened unconsciousness has remained unchanged since the dawn of human history, remarkably, throughout every era, certain people have emerged who seem to be tapped into a deeper level of understanding. With a higher and more compassionate perspective, non-violence is usually the central theme of their approach and from a very early age, Dr. King was clearly one of them. Indeed, he spent his entire short life trying to elevate human awareness to this higher viewpoint.    At the root of his understandings was the work of Mahatma Gandhi, whose brilliant use of non-violence helped overthrow the brutal British rule that had subjugated the Indian people for nearly a century.  His interest in Gandhi grew over time, and following his successes with the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956, Dr. King felt the desire to travel to India to gain a deeper understanding of the life and teachings of this unlikely, yet remarkable leader. Finally, on February 3, 1959, he and his party, which included his wife, departed for a six-week visit to the ancient land. “To other countries I may go as a tourist,” he told reporters when he arrived at the airport. “But to India I come as a pilgrim.” His aim was to study how political goals can be accomplished through the use of non-violent methods, rather than through the use of brute force. According to Gandhi, it was the fundamental difference between using the higher parts of our hearts and minds, rather than just relying upon the primitive, survival-based impulses of anger and fear.  The visit proved to be an extremely powerful experience for him and he stated that it had helped clarify and empower his dedication to alleviate “the suffering, the exploitation, the injustice, and the degradation of human beings.”  These noble, universal feelings had only grown since his return, and when he formally came out against the war in Vietnam, he also stood against the horrible injustices of the economic exploitation practiced by “capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out, with no concern for the social betterment of the countries.”     Along with his stance on non-violence, there is one associated factor regarding the tragedy of the King assassination that I would like to mention at this point. In general, as far as race relations in the United State had been concerned, black people had always been delegated into a fundamentally subservient position in the society. While it was within their civil rights to express their views regarding the racial injustices that existed in the country, it was always firmly understood that it had to be done in a basically respectful and civil manner. But that mindset had begun to change a bit in the mid-sixties, and it was brought into focus on March 6, 1964, when Cassius Clay, the young boxer who had just become the heavyweight champion of the world, changed his name to Muhammed Ali and announced that he had joined the Nation of Islam, which was also known as the Black Muslims.  This controversial movement was part of a larger sentiment that had been gathering momentum that became known as “Black Pride” or “Black Power.” Along those general lines, the Black Panther Party was formed just two years later. I remember these developments very clearly, and in particular, I was struck by something that Malcom X once said. An extremely charismatic leader, as the chief spokesman for the Nation of Islam, he summed up the emerging point of view in a way which I found to be particularly clarifying. “If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.  And they won't even admit the knife is there." Now, of course Dr. King clearly understood the sentiments and feelings behind this point of view, but he never wavered on the issue of non-violence. As an ordained minister who took his work extremely seriously, the idea of using violence to accomplish the goal was completely out of the question. As such, he felt that the motto of Black Power represented “essentially an emotional concept” that meant “different things to different people.”  Even though it “was born from the wombs of despair and disappointment…and is a cry of pain,” he had deep concerns that “the slogan was an unwise choice,” because it carried “connotations of violence and separatism.” In his view, the real way to create change was to amass political and economic power, and then use it to achieve ennobling change. As far as the higher destiny of the country was concerned, he believed that “America must be made a nation in which its multi-racial people are partners in power.” Now, the truly remarkable thing about Dr. King is that he had the ethical and moral standing to bridge the gap between the various viewpoints and promote a more inclusive path. And this basic fact makes his loss to the country and to humanity itself all the more tragic. With all of this in mind, the outpouring of grief that followed the assassination was staggering. The funeral was set for Sunday, April 7th in Atlanta, and in an official proclamation, President Johnson declared it to be a National Day of Mourning. All sporting and theatrical events were to be postponed, with all flags lowered to half-staff. Of course, not everyone in the country was aligned with the idea of paying respect to the memory of Dr. King. Lester Maddox, the staunchly segregationist governor of Georgia always looked upon King as a major villain, who had no right stirring up the black population to go against the venerated laws and traditions of the South. As funeral arrangements were being made, the governor was approached with the idea of having Dr. King's body lie in state in the Capitol building in Atlanta, but he flatly refused. On top of that, he declared that no flags in the state of Georgia would be lowered to half-staff either. When his position was relayed to Washington, although the federal government had no power over his refusal regarding the use of the state Capitol, it did have the power to enforce the lowering of all flags in the nation, so the flags in Georgia were lowered in accordance with the decree. The funeral itself became an iconic moment in American history. At first, the city of Atlanta estimated that about ten thousand people would be in attendance. But by the time of the funeral approached, it became clear that this estimate was way off. It took place on April 9, 1968, in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was born and raised, and began with a private ceremony at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King had co-pastored with his father. The intimate service was attended by just family and friends. But then something truly extraordinary happened. A four-mile long funeral procession began from the church to Morehouse College, which was King's alma mater. King's coffin was placed on a simple wooden wagon which was pulled by two mules. As the procession got underway, approximately one hundred thousand people joined in and walked along with it. The global media coverage was extensive. Major American networks broadcasted the event live, which allowed millions of viewers across the country to participate in the intense feeling of collective mourning. Throughout the country, people who were driving in their cars spontaneously turned on their headlights, as though they were driving in a funeral procession. The simple wooden cart being pulled by two mules highlighted King's commitment to the struggles of the poor and marginalized in society, while the throng that walked behind the coffin was also filled with hundreds of major celebrities who had flown in to show their respects. Leaders from the field of government and politics were mixed with the top tier of the county's athletes and entertainers. The list of notables who walked in that somber procession is far too large to include here. Again, as I've mentioned regarding the JFK assassination, I wouldn't even try to put into words what it all felt like. Let's just say that the injustice and the hopelessness of it was simply overwhelming, And on top of it all, the fact that one of history's major apostles of non-violence was brutally murdered for what he stood for was far beyond ironic and it soon became gasoline added to the fire; significant violence erupted in more than 125 American cities across 29 states. Nearly 50,000 federal troops occupied America's urban areas. Thirty-nine people were killed and 3,500 injured. These uprisings produced more property damage, arrests, and injuries than any other uprising of the 1960s. In all, it was just a truly, horrible feeling, and with that, let's end this sad episode here. But even so, keep your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

My Dad My Dying Sun: A True Story of Love and Legends by David Sahadi, Lou Sahadi https://amzn.to/3xkKubA Lou Sahadi was born into a life of adversity, but he overcame it. For nearly three decades, Lou was a successful magazine publisher and also authored thirty-one acclaimed sports books, many of which became best sellers. From the 60s through the 90s he was the most prolific sports author of his time. Lou loved sports. Lou also absolutely adored his son. David Sahadi landed his first job at NBC Sports when he was just twenty-three. His love and passion for the sports industry combined with Lou's connections opened doors. With his guidance, David became an Emmy-Award winning television producer and director. He has been honored to receive 27 PROMAX Gold Medallion Awards. And though many believe the son became more famous than his father, there was never an ounce of envy. Lou was simply so proud and in awe of the son he loved and guided. At eight, David met Cassius Clay at the Fountainbleu Hotel. Lou was interviewing him. As David boarded a plane the following day, there he was. With immediate recognition, Clay vaulted him up onto his lap, telling the flight attendant, “He's sitting with me.” At thirteen, Lou ushered his scrawny kid David into the locker room at Shea Stadium. The New Orleans St. beat the Jets. Payton and Eli Manning's dad Archie who was the NFL's best quarterback at the time. Archie at over 220 lbs handed David his sweaty t-shirt from the game. It must have weighed ten lbs. David would wear that over-sized shirt for ten years. When Lou was sixty-eight, the tables turned. David was working for the WWE and Lou showed up at one of his son's shoots in South Beach. Lou met The Rock. The connection was instantaneous. David made Lou an extra in the commercial, with his new found friend, The Rock. Adversity found Lou on August 30th, 2020, after suffering a horrific fall. Cracking his skull and causing severe brain trauma, with the doctors saying he had only an 8 percent chance of survival. Miraculously, through boundless love and Lou's unrelenting determination to stay alive for his five children, Lou made a full recovery. Lou lived another two-and-a-half years before succumbing. David knew that Lou hung on because of his five children. David was with him that day. David kissed Lou's lifeless forehead after his last breath was released into the ethers, torrents of tears rolling down his swollen cheeks, and said, “I love you so much Poppa. And don't worry about your children. They are my children now, and I will take care of them.” This book is Lou's story. David's story. The emotional story of Love, Connection and the Blessed lives they lived together in the shadows of Legends.

Float like a butterfly, sting like... a standup comic? Sixty years ago, long before the current golden age of smack talk, a 21-year-old Cassius Clay was nominated for a Grammy, for what should be considered the first diss album — a poetic, heavyweight takedown of Sonny Liston in the lead-up to their epic 1964 title bout. Andscape's Justin Tinsley tracks how this forgotten record led to the name Muhammad Ali, to national conversations around Black Muslims, to Ali protesting the Vietnam War, even to the birth of hip-hop... and the prevention of tooth decay.

Acts 17:10-15 10 As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. 12 Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. 13 When the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, they went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. 15 The men who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible. (NIV 84) FROM THE LESSON John G. Fee - born in Bracken County, KY in 1816, Fee was called by God to preach the gospel of "impartial love" to his native state of Kentucky. In 1853, Cassius Clay gave him 10 acres of land in Madison County to come and pastor a church in that area. Fee would establish a church, a school, and a tiny village. His vision for the school was the co-education of the races. When Fee was asked to name the new settlement, Fee called it Berea after the Biblical town in Acts 17. His hope for the people of the new settlement was they would, like the Bereans of the New Testament, receive this message of "impartial love" with great eagerness. Compare and contrast - one thing you pick up on when studying the writings of Luke, both his gospel and Acts, is he often uses the writing technique of compare and contrast, where he places two people or events side by side in order to make a point. It is a very effective way to write and it forces the reader to stop and consider the two very different responses. Some examples of this technique are found in Luke 1, Luke 4, Acts 4, and in Acts 17. Humble and hungry (verse 11) - the Bereans still stand today as the Biblical model of how to receive the Word of God. They received the word with great eagerness, this takes humility. Humility is the attitude that allows you to receive a word from someone else. They also examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true, this takes hunger. Hunger is a feeling that happens daily and not just on the first day of the week.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1 Have you ever noticed Luke's use of the writing technique called compare and contrast? Some of the examples are of Zechariah and Mary's responses to the angel in Luke 1, the reactions of Nazareth and Capernaum in Luke 4, the responses of Barnabas and Ananias in Acts 4-5, and the responses of Thessalonica and Berea in Acts 17. Spend some time comparing and contrasting these different responses in Luke's writings. Discuss the effectiveness of this writing technique.  2 The Bereans were "humble and hungry" instead of "zealous and jealous" like the Thessalonians. How does the example of the Bereans serve as a model for you of how to receive the Word of God? How does it challenge and encourage you? 3 Whenever and wherever the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed, there will be opposition. This is because Jesus came into the world not just to be born a King at Christmas but to become your King at conversion. There are some who want Jesus to be their King, however most do not. How does the language of Jesus reigning and ruling on the throne of your heart change the way you live?

As November 1963 began, President Kennedy had emergency meetings on Vietnam. He also received members of the US Industrial Payroll Savings Committee and had meetings on the goings on in Berlin. Meanwhile, The U.S. Secret Service concluded that the more secure and the larger of two locations for the President's upcoming fundraising luncheon in Dallas would be the "Women's Building" at Fair Park at the east side of downtown, rather than the Trade Mart on the west side near Dealey Plaza. Despite the recommendation, the state Democratic Party leaders in Texas settled on the Trade Mart. On November 6th, Jean Shepherd signed on from WOR talking about, and poking fun at, the 1964 World's Fair, slated to open the next April. Part of what made Shepherd so popular was that no one was safe from his scrutinizing eye, even himself, and his biting style was perfect for late night radio. Perhaps Shep was wrong. Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston twice, changing his name to Muhammad Ali in the process, while the cover of the next day's New York Daily News, Wednesday November 7th, told the story of a bartender from Connecticut who won nearly eighty thousand dollars, an all-time record twin double at Roosevelt Raceway. That same day, Nelson Rockefeller, the Governor of New York, announced on NBC's Today Show that he would be a candidate for the 1964 Republican Party nomination. U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, the front-runner, made no comment, but was expected to enter the race. President Kennedy was not expected to face opposition in his nomination as the Democratic Party candidate for 1964.

Original Air Date: June, 9, 2016 In tribute to the greatest fighter ever, Muhammad Ali (aka Cassius Clay), we review the 2001 biopic Ali starring Will Smith. The guys discuss Smith's depiction of Ali, whether Michael Mann was the right director for the project, the importance of black writers telling black stories, and whether or not this film helped the cause.
