He said it would probably be his "last time" in the UK. He can barely move on his own now. One London newspaper called he, who was once a butterfly, "little more than a zombie," and a great many people find it as grotesque as it is sad that the old champ continues to make personal appearances.</description><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:47:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>1969: An eventful summer</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/09/summer.1969.timeline/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/08/09/summer.1969.timeline/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>From Woodstock and a man on the moon to the Manson murders and the Stonewall riots, the summer of 1969 was a tumultuous and eventful time.

It's fair to say that Jacobs not only has a few baseball traits that drive me mad, but he is that actual archetype of a player I cannot stand. He doesn't walk or get on base. He's utterly limited defensively. He doesn't help you on the bases when he actually gets there. He's next to worthless against lefties. He strikes out a lot. A lot. When the Kansas City Royals traded for him this offseason, well, that was my fourth-least favorite move by general manager Dayton Moore.*</description><pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:36:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Jeff Pearlman: The magic of the NCAA tournament</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jeff_pearlman/03/13/ncaa.tournament/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jeff_pearlman/03/13/ncaa.tournament/index.html</guid><description>Over the course of my 15-year career, I have lived the dream.

For then, on the day after Christmas, 1908, Jack Johnson battered Tommy Burns to become the heavyweight champion of the world, and thereby sent an alarmed cohort of good and true American white men off in their noble search for "the great white hope."</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:40:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Laila Ali Gives Birth to Her First Son

In the popular imagination, the Sweet Science is anything but: it is widely viewed as a shady game run by mobsters and sharps, corrupt officials and snakelike managers, a morass of mismatches and fixed fights, in which the principles take more dives than Greg Louganis. Such Hollywood-fueled melodrama aside, however, boxing is a remarkably straightforward and transparent sport.</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jul 2007 04:13:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Laila Ali Marries Former NFL Star in L.A.</title><link>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20047655,00.html</link><guid>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20047655,00.html</guid><description>Boxing champ and Dancing with the Stars finalist Laila Ali wed retired NFL star Curtis Conway in L.A. on Sunday, Ali's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.</description><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:42:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Wiener-wolfing contest has new chomp-ion</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/07/04/hot.dog.contest/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/07/04/hot.dog.contest/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Joey "Jaws" Chestnut unseated the six-time defending champion in Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest on Wednesday, eating 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.</description><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jul 2007 11:25:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Is Tiger a Disappointment?</title><link>http://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,1608663,00.html</link><guid>http://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,1608663,00.html</guid><description>There's something interesting about watching crowds of African-Americans follow Tiger Woods around Augusta National on Easter weekend. When Woods, the son of a black father and Thai mother, arrived on Tour, many of us in black America believed that he was going to be our golfing messiah. When his father, Earl, told SI in 1996 that his son was "the chosen one," we thought Tiger had come to save us, to show the way toward more opportunities to play the game and succeed in the golf industry.</description><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2007 19:18:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Q&amp;amp;A: Terrence Howard</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/richard_deitsch/03/29/media.circus/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/richard_deitsch/03/29/media.circus/index.html</guid><description>Last week SI writer Richard Deitsch interviewed Terrence Howard for the magazine's Q&amp;amp;A.
