I was just going to post something on that.

Sorry to hear. The guy had a great career and advisors.

He went from the guy most people didn't like to the guy most everybody liked. Most probably have to admit at one point or another they had a George Foreman grill. I have one now and use it several times a month. It does a great job for making a hot grilled sandwich. It isn't good for much else, but it does a nice job with a salmon filet or anything you want with a interior on the rare side. Forget trying to cook a chicken breast unless you like chewing on rubber.

Anyway...R.I.P. George. You made the most of your life. You came up from a tough beginning to the top. Well done.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Big George.

Being a huge boxing fan I remember all his fights.

George went from villain to hero. I went nuts when he knocked out Michael Moorer to become the oldest heavyweight champion.

RIP Champ.

Amen to that my friend.

RIP Champ.

That was literally one of the most breathtaking moments in my sports fandom. He took a beating that night against Moorer but refused to go down and refused to lose. And still stood in his corner, rather than sitting between rounds, and stared his opponent down. I get goosebumps just thinking back.

I probably watched every fight during that "comeback". USA Network's Tuesday Night Fights with Sean O'Grady hosted nearly every fight. Sean was such a great analyst. We watched him go from intrigued to semi-sold to convinced, along that comeback road.

George had no business doing what he did at that age. He literally punched father time right in the jaw and put him on the canvas.

What a legend.

Watching his comeback is something I'll never forget. I'm sad to see him go. The boxing world could use more George Foreman's. RIP


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

When George fought Ken Norton I thought that Norton might die in the ring.

George knocked him silly and he was defenseless.

He was in a dangerous situation. George had that kind of power especially early in a fight.
