    Today's topic is Muhammad Ali. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the Jasperlines. You know that Muhammad Ali was the greatest of all time. He boxed in the ring and was a great poet. When he said he "handcuffed lightning and throwed thunder in jail", he told the truth in disguise. He was one of the greatest boxers in history and would boast that he was a bad man. Ali was also a great entertainer.

    I love his poem how he said he wrestled an alligator. I don't know if there is a title to the poem, but his lines of poetry are greatly remembered. Newspapers would print headlines about him in giant size letters: CLAY WINS. I'm thinking about the Detroit Free Press newspaper how they would write something about Ali’s fist being as big as his mouth back in 1964, in little print, under a photo of him. it's fun to go back and look at some of the old newspaper clippings.

    I miss seeing Muhammad Ali on television. Howard Cosell would interview Muhammad Ali many times.

    Howard Cosell would say something like: What are you going to do to George Foreman?

    Muhammad Ali would say something like: You’re not as dumb as you look.

    They would joke around with each other. I miss Howard Cosell too and his broadcasting.

    I'm Gail Nobles remembering Muhamnad Ali on the Jasper Lines.
