Sent us text! We would love to hear from you! Returning from his latest adventure on the high seas, CDR Drew details the high points of his travels. The immortal phrase that begins with the words, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”, would never been famous if not for the world-wide attention given to the competitiveness between combatants Muhammad Ali and his one time nemesis Joe Frazier. Those words coined by Drew “Bundini” Brown described the aura of combat psychology that surrounded their fight trilogy that captured the attention of the world. The wingmen found themselves in the fortunate position of having one of the best jobs in the world when they were hired as pilots by a one-time fledgling company that eventually became a global juggernaut in the cargo industry, FedEx. The life of an airline pilot has many advantages as well as unique challenges. The required time away from home can complicate many aspects of family life. The fact that FedEx initially flew entirely at night caused pattern changes in circadian rhythm that placed physical and mental challenges on crew members. It was essential that this disruption in sleep pattern had to be properly managed in order to maintain good mental and physical health The relative seniority of each pilot is the overall determinant of schedule, salary, vacation as well other intangible benefits. Dr. Paul had the good fortune of being quite senior during his entire tenure at the company. CDR Drew maintained a relatively high seniority position by forgoing advancement to the position of Captain in order maintain control of his work schedule so that he could give his children his undivided attention during formative events in their lives. Now retired, both wingmen remain on the quest to pass on a little of what they know, gain new knowledge and embark on new adventures. Perhaps one of their greatest escapades is doing the Wingmen Show podcast. 

A relic of the Cold War, this tune was composed in 1955 by Vasily Solovyov-Sedoy under the title “Leningrad Nights,” but later at the request of the Soviet Ministry of Culture was renamed "Moscow Nights" with corresponding changes to poet Mikhail Matusovsky's lyrics.For the first half dozen years of its life, the song was known primarily in the Soviet Union, where a young actor named Vladimire Troshin recorded it in 1956 for a scene in a documentary about Soviet athletic competition. Honestly, the film did nothing to promote the song, but thanks to radio broadcasts it gained popularity.The melody hit the big time in the U.S. in November 1961 when trumpeter Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen recorded it under the title "Midnight in Moscow.” For the recording, Ball was inspired by an arrangement he heard by a Dutch jazz group called “The New Orleans Syncopators” who recorded the melody earlier that year.Ball's version peaked at No. 2 on both the U.S. and U.K. pop singles charts and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the American easy listening chart.Chad Mitchell Trio ControversyIn 1962, at the height of the folk revival in the United States, “Moscow Nights” was recorded by The Chad Mitchell Trio on their popular live performance album At the Bitter End on Kapp Records.And thereby hangs a tale, as reported by author Mike Murphy in his 2021 book We Never Knew Just What It Was: The Story of the Chad Mitchell Trio. When the album was released, the guys were on a three-month tour of Central and South America sponsored, not by the U.S. State Department, but rather by the American National Theater Academy. That sponsorship became relevant when in mid-tour state department officials showed up and tried to supervise the shows. When the trio reached Rio de Janeiro, the singers were met by some surly officials from the U.S.'s Brazilian embassy. Following the performance, one of the newcomers hustled the guys into an empty room.“What do you think you're doing,” he said, “singing that Russian song?”The group actually did several foreign language tunes. The parents of the trio's Mike Kobluk, who had emigrated to Canada from Russia, had long loved Russian music and often helped their son phonetically learn native songs. “Russian song?” said Chad. “You mean ‘Moscow Nights'? What's wrong with it?”“Don't you understand what's happening in the world?” the angry official said. “We're here fighting the spreading influence of communism. And you think you're going out to all the villages and sing an anti-American song?”“It's not an anti-American song,” Kobluk interjected. “It's a song about friends having dinner in Moscow.”“It's Russian!” the official shouted.As Murphy notes in his book, “Chad, whose fuse was shorter than either Mike or Joe (Frazier), responded accordingly. ‘Wait a minute. You can't dictate what we sing or don't sing. We're not here representing the State Department.”The official stomped out with ominous last words: “We'll see about that.” At all the subsequent stops, The Michell Trio continued to defiantly do “Moscow Nights.” Finally, in São Paulo, the State Department's Jim Salyers — who himself spoke a little Russian — caught up with them and accompanied them for the next two weeks of the tour so he could closely listen each night.After that, his verdict? “Love the song,” Salyers said, adding with a chuckle, “Keep doing it with your State Department's blessing.” (He was not, incidentally, as happy with the group's performing its controversial “The John Birch Society,” but that's a story for another time.)Pamela the FolksingerAs a young folksinger in college, Flood manager Pamela Bowen had her own special relationship with “Moscow Nights.”A consummate Chad Mitchell Trio fan, Pamela devoted many hours to a close listening to the group's albums. In particular, she painstakingly studied their performance of “Moscow Nights.” Her goal was to duplicate the trio's precise pronunciation of Matusovsky's lyrics so she could perform the same song at folk music shows at Marshall University, where she was a journalism student.Pamela even brought the song to television when she performed it on a local talent show that aired in 1966. There her diligent research was recognized when a Russian-speaking member of the audience sought her out to complement not only her performance, but the accuracy of her hard-earned pronunciation. Alas, neither audio nor video of her performance survives.Our Take on the TunePamela had long retired her folksinging by time her Flood fellows took up “Moscow Nights,” so she could offer no guidance on those tricky Russian nouns, verbs and adjectives. Consequently, the tune today is an instrumental in The Flood oeuvre, drawing inspiration from Kenny Ball and all the jazz innovations that followed.It all started last fall when Charlie, practicing his five-string, stumbled upon the old melody. When he shared it with the group, Danny Cox immediately found it offered lots of a stretching-out room. The tune — performed here at a recent rehearsal — is a welcome change of a pace on a busy night.Another Date with DannyFinally, if your Friday could use more of Dan Cox's musical explorations, we've got you covered.

Stop Holding Your Hurt #RTTBROS #NightlightStop Holding Your Hurt #RTTBROS #Nightlight George Foreman shared, “Back when I was boxing in the '70s, Joe Frazier hit me in the face, Muhammad Ali knocked me out, and I got knocked down a couple of times by Ron Lyle before I got back up and claimed victory. All those fights had one thing in common: once they ended, I barely remembered the pain. I forgot about my weak knees, the cuts, and the blood in my eyes. If it weren't for the films of my fights, I would've completely pushed those memories aside. It's the same when you go through tough times; don't let the pain and disappointment stick around.”Forgetting What Lies Behind"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 3:13-14, KJVThere is profound wisdom in George Foreman's reflection on his boxing career. The legendary fighter recalls the punishing blows from Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, and Ron Lyle—moments of intense pain, weakness, and vulnerability. Yet what stands out is not the vividness of these memories but rather their fading quality. Without film evidence, the physical suffering would have disappeared entirely from his recollection.How often we do the opposite in our spiritual and emotional lives. We cling to past hurts, disappointments, and failures as if preserving them in perfect detail is somehow necessary or beneficial. We carry these wounds not just as memories but as active, festering injuries that continue to cause us pain long after the initial blow.The Apostle Paul understood this human tendency. In his letter to the Philippians, he speaks of "forgetting those things which are behind." Paul had much he could have held onto—his persecution of Christians, his imprisonment, the rejections he faced while spreading the Gospel. Instead, he chose to release his grip on the past and "press toward the mark."This deliberate forgetting is not denial or pretending that difficult experiences never happened. Rather, it is refusing to allow those experiences to define our present and future. It is choosing not to dwell in a place of pain when God is calling us forward.Like a boxer who must recover from one fight before training for the next, we cannot move into God's purposes while anchored to past wounds. Our hands cannot grasp new blessings if they are still clutching old injuries.Perhaps you are holding onto something today—a betrayal, a failure, harsh words spoken to you, or an opportunity lost. Ask yourself: Is carrying this memory serving God's purpose in your life? Or has it become a weight preventing you from running the race set before you?The Lord offers us a sacred exchange—our pain for His peace, our wounds for His healing, our past for His future. In surrendering our hurts to Him, we don't diminish their reality but rather prevent them from diminishing our tomorrow.Today, consider what you might need to release. What film of past suffering are you replaying in your mind? What pain are you preserving that God is inviting you to surrender? In letting go, you may find—like George Foreman—that the memory of the pain fades while the victory remains.Let us pray: Father, help us to release the hurts we cling to so fiercely. Teach us to follow Paul's example of forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what is ahead. May we not be defined by our wounds but by Your healing touch, not by our past but by Your promised future.

On March 21, 2025, George Foreman—the legendary boxer and entrepreneur whose formidable presence in the ring as well as his business ventures made him a household name—passed away peacefully at the age of 76. Foreman's career was defined by legendary bouts, including his dominant victory over Joe Frazier to win the heavyweight title and his iconic defeat to Muhammad Ali in the “Rumble in the Jungle.” Yet his second act as a celebrity spokesman, particularly for his namesake grill, became even more prominent than his boxing career, making him a beloved figure in American culture. His legacy endures as one of the most inspiring and multifaceted figures in sports history. Hosts: Derek Kaufman & Jason Beckerman Learn more about your ad choices.

Il a rejoint Muhammad Ali et Joe Frazier au ciel, où ils pourront refaire le match de leurs légendaires batailles. Décédé ces derniers jours à 76 ans, George Foreman laisse un grand vide et des souvenirs pour la vie dans le cœur des fans de boxe. Deux fois champion du monde des lourds avec plus de 20 ans d'écart entre les deux sacres (dans deux ères mythiques de cette catégorie), pasteur, businessman, commentateur, auteur, acteur, « Big George » était un personnage plus grand que la vie qui a su se réinventer plus d'une fois dans un destin digne d'un scénario de film. Avec une place à jamais réservée dans l'histoire de la boxe et même du sport tout court. Le RMC Fighter Club rend hommage à monsieur George Foreman. Repose en paix, légende.

After beating Joe Frazier and George Foreman in two of the biggest fights in boxing history, Muhammad Ali was looking for an easy win over somebody. Enter Chuck Wepner... This would be a walk in the park for the champ before he could move on to bigger things. Chuck had other plans. After knocking Ali down in the 9th round Wepner told his trainer Al Braverman to start the car... "We're going to the bank, " he said. "We're millionaires." To which Braverman told his fighter, "You better turn around. He's getting up and he looks pissed off." For the remainder of the fight, Ali battered the challenger, opening up cuts above both of Wepner's eyes. But Wepner kept coming, and kept coming, and never stopped until 19 seconds left in the 15th round when Ali sent him to the canvas... and even then, Wepner got back up, but the fight was stopped. He had given everything he had and then some and his courageous fight caught the attention of everyone... most notably a young Sylvester Stallone who would use this Wepner fight against Ali to write a screenplay about a fighter getting the opportunity of a lifetime, and coming this close to becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. We know him as Rocky Balboa. But another filmmaker also was interested in the story of Chuck Wepner. Enter Jeff Feuerzeig, who wasn't as interested in Rocky Balboa, but rather... The Bayonne Bleeder, Wepner. So Feuerzeig set out to tell the story of Wepner in an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary called 'The Real Rocky" and then followed that up by writing the screenplay for a feature film titled, "Chuck" starring Liev Schreiber. Nobody knows the story of Chuck Wepner better than Feuerzeig and he joins us this week on the 50-year anniversary of when this unheralded fighter got into the ring with the most famous boxer of all-time, and stood toe-to-toe with the great Ali for 15 rounds. Feuerzeig tells how he first heard of Chuck as an 11-year old kid and the fight Wepner had against Sonny Liston that was the bloodiest battle one could imagine. The Sundance Award winning director for The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Feuerzeig tells the story of how over 30 years after the Ali fight, he was able to tell the story of the Real Rocky on ESPN's signature 30-for-30 series and how the ensuing court battle of the former marine Wepner, vs the Hollywood icon, Stallone was more a matter of honor and recognition than anything else. March 24, 1975 had Chuck Wepner on the cover of Sports Illustrated... the day he and Ali battled in Cleveland, Ohio for all the world to see... Wepner's 15 minutes of fame, turned into 15 rounds of theatre... and Jeff Feuerzeig tells the story better than anyone and shares it with us on the Past Our Prime podcast.

George Foreman gave us a masterclass in resilience, on never giving up. His pivots and comebacks from defeat were legendary. He was a force of nature and one of the greatest boxers, salesmen and personalities the world has ever known. His inspirational story matters to us because one of the most critical mental disciplines for sales professionals is resilience.  Foreman's "In the Mud" Moment The George Foreman most of us remember, the man with the big charismatic smile selling grills on TV, was a far cry from the young man growing up in poverty in Houston's Fifth Ward, where lunch was often a mayonnaise sandwich.  As a teenager, George was an angry, mean bully who stole from kids at school and was shoplifting and mugging his way through his neighborhood. He was living on the edge, one arrest away from landing in a jail cell and potentially a life behind bars. One night, he was lying flat on his face in stinking mud, hiding from the police, when it hit him like a left hook that he was going nowhere like this. It was a moment of truth that changed the trajectory of his life. Lying there covered in filth, he made a promise to himself to change his path. He realized that if he wanted to avoid going nowhere, he had to make a massive mindset shift.  He enrolled in the Job Corps—a federal program that helps disadvantaged youth pick up real life skills—and soon after discovered boxing. And from that moment on, he replaced petty crime with gloves, replaced street fights with disciplined training, replaced despair with a sense of purpose.  This type of mindset shift is exactly what resilience is about. Sometimes you've got to face the fact that your old excuses, old habits, or old environment aren't working for you anymore. And when you decide to do something different—really decide—you set the stage for everything else that follows. That stinking mud moment is where you get real about your situation. It's where you decide that you've had enough and realize that the change you are looking for can only be found inside yourself because that's where resilience comes from.  Developing Resilience in the Face of Devastating Defeat Once George got serious about boxing, he rocketed to stardom. He won gold in the 1968 Olympics, then tore through the heavyweight division.  In one of his most famous fights, he defeated Joe Frazier in just two rounds, creating the iconic moment when Howard Cosell screams, “Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier!” Foreman emerged from that fight as a heavyweight wrecking ball, the unstoppable champion of the world. Then, he ran into a wall called Muhammad Ali. Millions of people tuned in to watch Foreman and Ali battle it out in what was hyped as the “Rumble in the Jungle.”  Going into the fight, Foreman was the overwhelming favorite. But it was his overconfidence that lulled him into Ali's famous rope-a-dope strategy. This led to a crushing and embarrassing defeat. Ali knocked Foreman out in the eighth round, shocking the world and pulling off the upset of the century. Foreman was humiliated on the global stage. In that moment, he went from being the hardest hitting, baddest man on the planet to an also-ran.  Sales and life can be the same way. You might have soared for months, hitting every goal. Then the bottom falls out. The real test isn't whether you can ride success, but whether you can respond to defeat with resilience. The real question is, will you pick yourself up and make a comeback or fold up like a cheap lawn chair and quit. Will your failure become a tattoo or temporary bruise?  Retreat and Reinvention — The Next Pivot After that loss to Ali, Foreman was devastated. But he continued fighting until at the age of 28, he had a near death experience in Puerto Rico following a loss to Jimmy Young. It was one more lapse into overconfidence in which Foreman failed to prepare for the fight and was taken down by yet another underdog. 

pWotD Episode 2881: George Foreman Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,670,137 views on Saturday, 22 March 2025 our article of the day is George Foreman.George Edward Foreman (January 10, 1949 – March 21, 2025) was an American professional boxer, businessman, minister, and author. In boxing, he competed between 1967 and 1997, and was nicknamed "Big George". He was a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. He is the namesake of the George Foreman Grill.After a troubled childhood, Foreman took up amateur boxing and won a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Having turned professional the next year, he won the world heavyweight title with a stunning second-round knockout of the then-undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973. He defended the belt twice before suffering his first professional loss to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974. Unable to secure another title opportunity, Foreman retired after a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977.Following what he referred to as a born again experience, Foreman became an ordained Christian minister. Ten years later he announced a comeback, and in 1994 at age 45 won the unified WBA, IBF, and lineal heavyweight championship titles by knocking out 26-year-old Michael Moorer. He dropped the WBA belt rather than face his mandatory title defense soon after, and following a single successful title defense against Axel Schulz, Foreman relinquished his IBF title as well on June 28, 1995. At 46 years and 169 days old, he was the oldest world heavyweight champion in history. Foreman was the oldest to ever win the world heavyweight boxing championship of major honors and the second-oldest in any weight class after Bernard Hopkins (at light heavyweight). He retired in 1997 at the age of 48, with a final record of 76 wins (68 knockouts) and 5 losses, one of the famous losses coming at the hands of Muhammad Ali who hit him with a lightning fast 1-2 combination which was “the fastest punch” Foreman had ever seen.Foreman was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame and International Boxing Hall of Fame. The International Boxing Research Organization rates Foreman as the eighth-greatest heavyweight of all time. In 2002, he was named one of the 25 greatest fighters of the past 80 years by The Ring. The Ring ranked him as the ninth-greatest puncher of all time. He was a ringside analyst for HBO's boxing coverage for 12 years until 2004. Outside boxing, Foreman was a successful entrepreneur and known for his promotion of the George Foreman Grill, which has sold more than 100 million units worldwide by 2011. In 1999, he sold the commercial rights to the grill for $138 million.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:50 UTC on Sunday, 23 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see George Foreman on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Kajal.

Boxing legend George Foreman has died at the age of 76. Olympic champion in Mexico in 1968, he defeated Joe Frazier to become world heavyweight champion in 1973, losing his crown to Muhammad Ali in the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" the following year. A comeback in the 1990s saw him crowned WBA and IBF world heavyweight champion at the age of 45, before becoming a world famous name all over again thanks to the Foreman grills. On a visit to Ireland, George Foreman spoke to Will Downing about his long and colourful career.

Boxing has lost one of its greatest icons. George Foreman, a two-time world heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist, and a man whose influence reached far beyond the ring, has passed away at the age of 76. Known for his legendary bouts with Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, as well as his incredible comeback to reclaim the title at 45, Foreman's legacy is truly unforgettable.

It's a brand new edition of our recap show with only one significant fight card world wide. So, that leaves our host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael with more time to discuss news and some excellent boxing and even, 80s U.S. Primetime TV drama debate! It's all on the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast!"They begin with the brief Recap of Boxxer card from Sheffield, England, where super middleweight Callum Simpson scored a dubious TKO over Steed Woodall in the second round and retains British/Commonwealth 168 lb. titles. T.J. takes the lead on the referee with a reference to another premature stoppage in a prominent fight in London last Fall.Also, lightweight Caroline Dubois got a technical draw at the start of the 3rd round against an already battered Jessica Camara. Dubois retains  WBC women's crown, but there's debate on should this one have been an actual stoppage on the badly swollen eye from punches that had nothing to do with the cut on the other eye. For fight news:Sam Goodman is again cut in same spot over his eye and out of the January 24 Nayoa Inoue undisputed 122 lb. fight. Inoue will instead defend the undisputed junior featherweight title vs. late sub Ye Joon Kim of South Korea.

He started the year by beating Joe Frazier in Superfight II to avenge his loss to Smokin' Joe from three years earlier. 9 months later, in the Rumble in the Jungle, he shocked the world by knocking out George Foreman to once again become the Heavyweight Champion of the world. So how did Muhammad Ali cap off this eventful year? By being named the 1974 Sports Illustrated Man of the Year. It wasn't just the two iconic fights that cemented his place in boxing history, but the way Ali did it. Seven years after being stripped of his belt for refusing to partake in the Vietnam War, Ali made the comeback of all comebacks, beating two of the most feared heavyweights of his, or anyone's time. Pro Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman idolized the Greatest as a child from afar until a chance meeting at a banquet brought them together in 1979 and for the next 37 years, the two were as tight as tight can be, with Muhammad playing a vital role as a mentor and friend of Nancy's until Ali's death. Now, this trailblazer for women in sports, Nancy talks about the impact Muhammad had on her life and how she is attempting to pay it forward each day to honor him; How the Ali and Foreman families have come together 50 years after the famous fight in Zaire in a show of strength and peace and how George's biggest regret was not being able to congratulate Muhammad for his win between the two. There are too many stories to tell but Nancy does her best to bring a side of Ali only a few got to witness, and she shares that side with us on the Past Our Prime podcast.

Muhammad Ali, was an African-American boxer, activist, entertainer, and philanthropist. Many experts regard Ali has the best heavyweight boxer of all time, and the greatest sportsman of the 20th Century. Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. he became the heavyweight champ in 1964, and retired in 1981. Ali was an early performer of spoken word poetry and rap music. In 1963 his album "I Am The Greatest" was nominated for a Grammy Award. In 2001, Muhammad Ali was presented with the Presidential Citizens Medal by U.S. President Bill Clinton. You're going to hear ABC Radio's ringside descriptions of Ali's 1964 fight against heavyweight champ Sonny Liston which put him on the path to greatness.  From 1971 we'll hear Mutual Broadcasting System coverage of Ali's first bout with Joe Frazier which was called the "Fight of the Century". Unfortunately, during the late 1960s boxing promoters banned live ringside reporting by broadcasters, to force fans to buy tickets for closed circuit telecasts in theaters, thus ending radio's long tradition of carrying fights live from the scene. It also sparked a long decline in the popularity of boxing. Finally, there's a 1979 Muhammad Ali press conference on United Nations radio in New York, held just two years before he retired.  More at KRobCollection.com

Don King swans into the boxing world and manages to get both Ali and Foreman to trust him completely. By working their egos and their dreams of a huge payday –– Don King's able to persuade the two heavyweights into setting a date for a new title fight. The twist?

In the wake of the Attica Prison Uprising, BB King performs for the prisoners at Sing Sing Prison in 1972. The Thanksgiving Day concert sparks a new conversation about prisoner rights. Documentarian Daivd Hoffman recalls his time behind the camera, watching BB King perform, and how he softened the hearts of otherwise life-hardened men. Meanwhile, with the surly Sonny Liston as a role model, George Foreman rises in the ranks as a heavyweight. He fights the Champ, Smokin' Joe Frazier, and is held hostage in Venezuela.   FILM/VIDEO REFERENCES Muhammad Ali poem from the Cathal O'Shannon TV show (available on YouTube) Sing Sing Thanksgiving, documentary by David Hoffman (available on YouTube) BOOKS “The Rumble in the Jungle” by Lewis Erenberg “Angela Davis: an autobiography” by Angela Davis  “Hit Me, Fred” by Fred Wesley (autobiography)  “Smokin' Joe” by Joe Frazier and Phil Berger (autobiography) “Smokin' Joe: The Life of Joe Frazier” by Mark Kram Jr.  “By George” by George Foreman (autobiography)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 In their epic showdown, “The Fight of the Century,” Muhammad Ali takes on the Champ, Smokin' Joe Frazier. It's a stunning exhibition of strength, pain, and violence.

One kid's named after former world heavyweight champ Joe Frazier, another's named after… Irish Olympian Jude Gallagher. That's Kieran Farrell, a boxing man to his bones, and this week's guest on The Rocky Road. After Manchester Irishman Liam Gallagher had warmed up the 96000 raving punters at Wembley a few weeks ago, Daniel Dubois marched into the ring and pulled off a superb upset win over Anthony Joshua and walked off with the IBF heavyweight world title. Another Manchester Irishman, Farrell, was a key man in his camp throughout and was seen buzzing about the canvas in the aftermath of Dubois' destruction of AJ. What a story Kieran has. A former professional fighter whose career was cut short by a brain injury following a 2012 Manchester derby with Anthony Crolla, he's a boxing lifer who picked up where he left off on the other side of the ropes. He's a manager, a promoter and a trainer and when his world title dreams were heartbreakingly culled as a boxer, he vowed to get there in his new role – and guide a fighter to championship glory. But, as we hear in Part 1, dirty nappies have taken centre stage for now… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYMuhammad Ali and Larry Holmes called him the hardest puncher they ever faced, harder than Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson. Randall Tex Cobb said: “He hit so hard you felt it in your ankles.” The man they were talking about was Earnie Shavers.Once when George Foreman was asked who the hardest punchers he ever faced were, George responded, “Gerry Cooney, Ron Lyle, and Cleveland Williams.” When asked why Earnie Shavers wasn't on that list, George responded, “I never fought Shavers, thank goodness!”Actor Sylvester Stallone once got a taste of the punching power of Shavers when he invited Shavers to audition for the role of “Clubber” Lang. While Stallone was sparring with Shavers, Earnie, not wanting to hurt him, was hitting Stallone with soft jabs. After a few minutes, Stallone said, “Show me something real Earnie.” So, Shavers let him have it, punching him once near the liver. Stallone later said: “Earnie nearly killed me. I went straight to the men's room and threw up”.....You can read the full blog post here.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area.

This is part 1 of that conversation.‘The Thrilla in Manila' would be the third time that Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier squared off. In the first fight, held at Madison Square Garden in March 1971, Frazier defended his heavyweight title with a 15-round unanimous decision. The second fight in January 1974 also took place at Madison Square Garden. That one would be a 12-round non-title bout. Frazier had lost the title to George Foreman in 1973. This fight would also result in a unanimous decision, but this time in Ali's favor.

We're saluting Muhammad Ali on his 82nd birthday with a compilation of stories told on Press Box Access by sportswriters who crossed paths with The Greatest. Dave Kindred, Jerry Izenberg and other veteran scribes share their personal memories of Ali going as far back as 1960. They put us ringside at Ali's greatest fights such as “The Rumble in the Jungle” and “The Thrilla in Manila.” They take us on trains, into hotel rooms, and onto the banks of Africa's Congo River. We even go to the circus with the heavyweight champ and world-renowned activist and humanitarian. Enjoy our treasure trove of Ali tales.   Dave Kindred, on my Mount Rushmore of sportswriters, covered 17 of Ali's fights, dating back to when he wrote for The Courier-Journal in the champ's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.   Jerry Izenberg, who began his amazing journalism career in 1951, covered more of Ali's fights than any sportswriter, including epic bouts with Joe Frazier and George Foreman that live on in boxing history.   Tom Archdeacon has covered more than 200 fights as a columnist and honored boxing writer in Ohio and Florida, and he not only sat ringside at Ali's final three bouts but also went to the circus with him.   Tim Smith covered the fight game for many years at The New York Times, New York Daily News, and Cincinnati Enquirer, and he now works for Haymon Sports, a boxing management company.   Thom Loverro, sports columnist at The Washington Times and an honored boxing writer, first met Ali as a young reporter visiting training camp in the late 1970s.   Vito Stellino is best known as a longtime NFL writer, but he was ringside at Madison Square Garden in 1971 as a reporter covering the legendary Ali-Frazier I.   Mary Schmitt Boyer puts us in Atlanta, Georgia on the night when Ali lit the Olympic torch, providing her a most treasured memory of the many Olympics that she covered.   George Diaz had encounters with Ali as a longtime Florida boxing writer, and he's also the ghostwriter of legendary fighter Roberto Duran's autobiography, “I Am Duran.” Learn more about your ad choices.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 12th    Publish Date:  Jan 11th      HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, January 12th and Happy heavenly Birthday to boxer Joe Frazier. ***01.12.24 – BIRTHDAY – JOE FRAZIER*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commissioners will vote on 'intent' to call for transit referendum on Tuesday Inflation causing 6 in 10 millennials to treat themselves at home more Mill Creek Grad Making Her Mark at Kennesaw State University All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Gwinnett commissioners will vote on 'intent' to call for transit referendum Gwinnett County commissioners are taking steps towards a November referendum that could decide the fate of the county's transit system. The required meeting with city leaders was held last Tuesday, and a key vote is scheduled for this Tuesday to begin the formal process of calling for a referendum. The vote will determine whether to hold another vote in spring to officially call for the referendum in November. If approved, Gwinnett voters would decide whether to implement a 1% special sales tax for transit expansion. The proposed plan focuses on buses, microtransit, and bus rapid transit, excluding rail expansion. The new transit plan aims to address previous concerns and has garnered support from city officials. STORY 2: Inflation causing 6 in 10 millennials to treat themselves at home more Based on recent findings, it appears that a significant number of millennials are opting for special nights in with self-pampering rather than dining out. This trend seems to be driven by the rising cost of living and inflation, with 63% of millennials attributing their preference to these economic factors. Despite these challenges, they are willing to spend approximately $160 on a special meal at home for two, indulging in items like seafood, stuffed olives, and chocolates. The study also noted a growing interest in experiential eating at home, such as creating wood-fired pizzas and assembling charcuterie boards. Interestingly, the survey revealed that millennials are three times more likely to treat their partner to a special meal at home than themselves. As for cheese-related preferences, the study indicated several misconceptions among respondents, although the specifics were not detailed. STORY 3: Great Chemistry: Mill Creek Grad Making Her Mark at Kennesaw State University Ra'Nya Malone, a biochemistry major at Kennesaw State University, credits a high school English essay assignment, a love for science, and her aunt's influence for her academic journey. Her essay led her to interview her aunt's classmate, Dr. Carl Saint-Louis, KSU's assistant professor of chemistry. Joining Saint-Louis' lab, Malone co-authored a published paper and participated in a National Science Foundation-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates. She presented her research at KSU's Symposium of Student Scholars and impressed scientists at conferences, securing two summer REU opportunities. Malone envisions a future in pharmaceuticals, driven by her passion for the positive impact of chemistry on the world. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back   Break 2: GCPS – TOM WAGES – INGLES 7   STORY 4: Americans take this long to give up on their health resolutions A survey of 2,000 Americans who work out at least once a week revealed that the average active American would abandon their health-related resolutions about seven weeks into the new year. Of those surveyed, 29% confessed they would last less than a month on their resolutions. The research found that definitions of "unhealthy" foods varied, with 1 in 6 mistakenly believing all high-calorie foods are unhealthy. Some respondents associate healthy eating with avoiding carbs (24%) or sacrificing taste (18%). The study, conducted by OnePoll for egglife, highlights the diverse perspectives on health and nutrition and the challenges individuals face in making lifestyle changes. STORY 5: Will this be the year Georgia Republicans soften decade-long refusal of full Medicaid Expansion? Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns has indicated openness to exploring a "private option" for Medicaid expansion, a shift from the state's decade-long rejection of full expansion under the Affordable Care Act. Burns mentioned the possibility of expanding access to health care through a private option for lower-income working families, emphasizing a fiscally responsible approach to lower premiums. Georgia is one of 10 states that have not fully expanded Medicaid, and discussions around a potential private option represent a significant departure from previous Republican positions. Any proposal would likely involve changes to the state's certificate-of-need program.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – DTL – JACKSON EMC   STORY 6: Advocates concerned about proposed change to Coastal Georgia marsh protections Coastal Georgia regulators are considering changes to a rule designed to protect the state's marshes, a crucial buffer against storms and rising sea levels. The proposed change focuses on a 50-foot buffer measured from the "upland component" of a project with a Coastal Marshlands Protection Act (CMPA) permit. The amendment aims to exempt small projects from the upland component buffer requirement to address concerns about the burden on homeowners. Critics argue for a broader review, emphasizing the potential impact of bulkheads on the marsh and the need to reconsider development close to the marsh. Public comments on the proposal are accepted until January 19.   STORY 7: Northeast Georgia Health System receives national recognition for simulation center The Northeast Georgia Health System's simulation center has received accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, recognizing its commitment to providing a safe environment for healthcare professionals to practice skills in a simulated clinical setting. The accreditation ensures improved patient outcomes, reduced costs, and positions NGHS as a trusted institution for healthcare education. The Becker's Hospital Review also named NGHS among 34 hospitals and health systems with outstanding simulation and education programs, acknowledging its partnerships with high schools, colleges, EMS, and law enforcement agencies to train various healthcare professionals and students.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Betty Medsger : The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's Secret FBIThe never-before-told full story of the history-changing break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, by a group of unlikely activists—quiet, ordinary, hardworking Americans—that made clear the shocking truth and confirmed what some had long suspected, that J. Edgar Hoover had created and was operating, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, his own shadow Bureau of Investigation.It begins in 1971 in an America being split apart by the Vietnam War . . . A small group of activists—eight men and women—the Citizens Commission to Investigate the FBI, inspired by Daniel Berrigan's rebellious Catholic peace movement, set out to use a more active, but nonviolent, method of civil disobedience to provide hard evidence once and for all that the government was operating outside the laws of the land.The would-be burglars—nonpro's—were ordinary people leading lives of purpose: a professor of religion and former freedom rider; a day-care director; a physicist; a cab driver; an antiwar activist, a lock picker; a graduate student haunted by members of her family lost to the Holocaust and the passivity of German civilians under Nazi rule.Betty Medsger's extraordinary book re-creates in resonant detail how this group of unknowing thieves, in their meticulous planning of the burglary, scouted out the low-security FBI building in a small town just west of Philadelphia, taking into consideration every possible factor, and how they planned the break-in for the night of the long-anticipated boxing match between Joe Frazier (war supporter and friend to President Nixon) and Muhammad Ali (convicted for refusing to serve in the military), knowing that all would be fixated on their televisions and radios.Medsger writes that the burglars removed all of the FBI files and, with the utmost deliberation, released them to various journalists and members of Congress, soon upending the public's perception of the inviolate head of the Bureau and paving the way for the first overhaul of the FBI since Hoover became its director in 1924. And we see how the release of the FBI files to the press set the stage for the sensational release three months later, by Daniel Ellsberg, of the top-secret, seven-thousand-page Pentagon study on U.S. decision-making regarding the Vietnam War, which became known as the Pentagon Papers.At the heart of the heist—and the book—the contents of the FBI files revealing J. Edgar Hoover's “secret counterintelligence program” COINTELPRO, set up in 1956 to investigate and disrupt dissident political groups in the United States in order “to enhance the paranoia endemic in these circles,” to make clear to all Americans that an FBI agent was “behind every mailbox,” a plan that would discredit, destabilize, and demoralize groups, many of them legal civil rights organizations and antiwar groups that Hoover found offensive—as well as black power groups, student activists, antidraft protestors, conscientious objectors.The author, the first reporter to receive the FBI files, began to cover this story during the three years she worked for The Washington Post and continued her investigation long after she'd left the paper, figuring out who the burglars were, and convincing them, after decades of silence, to come forward and tell their extraordinary story.The Burglary is an important and riveting book, a portrait of the potential power of non­violent resistance and the destructive power of excessive government secrecy and spying.read less5 years ago #betty, #burglary:, #discovery, #ed, #edgar, #fbi, #hoover's, #j., #medsger, #of, #opperman, #report, #secret, #theThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
