  • Mr. Owens seems like a nice man. A great American hero. As John Daly stated, "He rammed each of his gold medals right down Adolph Hitler's throat". Well stated. Amen.

  • Jesse owens stayed at a hotel at which I worked. When approached by one of my co-workers for an autograph, he was extraordinarily gracious. She asked if he'd write a brief message of encouragement on the back of a picture of her youngest son--a sophmore swimmer in High School. He looked at the picture, said "My! What a fine looking son you have there, ma'am.", wrote a brief message and signed his name. To her thank you, he responded "My pleasure" and meant it. What a man.

  • Classy guy and tremendous athlete.

  • What a wonderful, gracious man!

  • He had lovely handwriting.

  • Jesse was a real class act.

  • Dignity + fortitude = class!

  • why the hell didn't they ask the "is a ball used in this sport?" question right from the beginning! Would've saved them a lot of questions!

    Still, i cracked up at the "tiddlywinks" bit :)

  • Jesse Owens was a thoroughly decent man and while the Nazis may not have liked him, he was at least able to stay in hotels and ride in the regular, not the freight elevators.

  • What a great host John was

  • Jessie wins again!
