Bring It To Jerome

Legendary radio broadcast journalist and personality Barry Warner shares first-person tales of the great Muhammad Ali, who passed away on June 3. In the 1960s and 70s, Warner spent time around Ali when the boxer was tried, convicted and sentenced to prison all in Houston. Warner, a native New Yorker, was friends with the attorney who represented Ali in his trial for violating Secret Service laws by not answering when his name was called after he was drafted into the Army. He also worked closely with Howard Cosell, and drove the star broadcaster around when he was in town for Ali’s trial and later for Monday Night Football games. Warner was with Ali the first time the champ visited Houston Oilers’ practice to meet Earl Campbell. Tune in for some fascinating stories you have never heard from someone who was there.
