George Foreman, dead at 76

I remember watching that fight with Moore like it was yesterday. Didn't understand at the time how remarkable it was for George to win the title again at that age.
My favorite line from the "Only in America" movie about Don King was when King approached Foreman in public restroom. King takes a piss and doesn't wash his hands and sees Foreman and puts his hand out to shake. George says "aren't you going to wash your hands?" King says "I wash my hands before I touch my dick!" lol.
still one of the all-time worse business decisions....they offered the indoor grill sponsorship to Hulk Hogan. He turned it down to endorse another product. George Foreman then said yes, and the Foreman Indoor Grill was born. Had to make a fortune off it. Good for him at reinventing himself in the later part of his career.
I don't know if that actually happened or if it's one of Hogan's tall tales. He also said Metallica wanted him to be their bassist, lol. I'm sure some are true. But others are pretty funny.
They talk about the grill at 8:50.

So he did not invent it? huh, and all these years I thought he came up with it while tinkering in his little workshop..
Total b.s. Hogan is a pathological liar.
it is so long ago, an urban legend becomes the truth. You are probably correct. Probably that idiot Hogan trying to deflect his bad decision of endorsing that mini-blender that was a total bust.
