HBO's upcoming Joe Louis documentary is a knockout
My profound apologies for blowing off nearly seven hours of prime blogging time to attend a screening of HBO's new Joe Louis documentary, debuting Feb. 23.
It's good. I will write more about it in the newspaper next week.
And I will catch up on blogging Wednesday.
(Please skip next two paragraphs if you can't take any more of my obsessive name-dropping.)
In attendance at the screening were Joe Louis Barrow Jr., Joe's son, as well as John Starks, Regis Philbin and assorted luminaries from the worlds of boxing and boxing journalism.
Joe's son is an executive at the World Golf Foundation these days. (His father played an important role in the integration of pro golf that is addressed in the show.) I walked into the snow with Joe Jr. after the screening. He said he was on his way back home to Jacksonville, and seemed happy about that.

Neil, terrible job missing Fatso and Fruitloops (Imus terms for them) discussing you at 1:30. You need to tape or DVR it if you're gonna be out. They were saying that you failed to cover the Jones/Carlin on-air duel last week about michael strahan. Good publicity for you and you miss it. We await you to get on this story right away. You must fight back!
Thanks, Ed. I did go back and look at it on the DVR. I thought it was funny! Will blog about it tomorrow.
