This week in sports blogs and news:
This week on the Smarter Sports Blog we covered:
My mother once told me, “if you have nothing good to say, then don’t say it all.”
Of course, I was told this after I said something rude and obnoxious and I still haven’t learned that valuable lesson. Sorry mom, I’m still growing up.
And Joe Frazier apparently suffers from the same disorder.
When Frazier was interviewed for the HBO documentary “Thrilla in Manilla,” he had these kind words to say about his former rival, Muhammad Ali:
“I’m sorry that (Muhammad Ali) is the way he is, but I didn’t have too much to do with it. It was the good man above. Maybe I did have a little to do with it, but God judges, you know what I’m saying? We don’t have the power to judge that the man has above.”
Well, I guess since Frazier said he was sorry first, before he ranted about Ali having has the “shakes” should make his comments OK.
But if I were any of Frazier’s friends, I’d try to stay clear of him for a while. You never know when a random lightning bolt will happen to strike him in the middle of the afternoon.
