Pete Carroll-Jim Harbaugh: What’s the Deal?
SoCal Sports Hub (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009
Well, the deal, Peter, is the scoreboard. If you’re rankled over a two-point conversion attempt with the score 48-21, maybe you should ask your defense what its deal is. How come they stopped the two-point conversion but managed to give up another touchdown? While you’re at it, ask Rocky Seto, Ken Norton, Jr., and Jethro [...]

Kevin Mitchell: Why the jungle is still rumbling
The Guardian (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009
... Londoner, it is nothing compared with the job Ali had taken on in 1974. The year before, Ken Norton had broken his jaw and busted him up. Ali was 32, not old by heavyweight standards, but wearier and slower than in his pomp. He was quoted in some quarters at 40-1. Hardly anyone picked him to reach the final bell against an unbeaten, younger champion of awesome power. And none of the attendant...

In the early 1900s, Long Beach was churning out films, with actors such as Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle and 'Baby Marie' Osborne. As a heavyweight contender four decades ago, 6-foot-6 Jack O'Halloran battled such tough hombres as George Foreman, Ken Norton and Cleveland Williams.
