- xconverge, on 10/11/2007, -5/+35Hamburger: Patties should be 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Grill until thoroughly cooked. Cook for 5 - 8 minutes.
Chicken breasts: Grill until thoroughly done, about 4 - 6 minutes. - np374, on 10/11/2007, -10/+40So the grill guy can box?
- Cutkomp, on 10/11/2007, -3/+28Foreman is one of my favorite old boxers. That being said, I think he visited quite a few 'magical' places, perhaps each time he named his 75 children George regardless of sex.
- franksmith, on 10/11/2007, -3/+26The columnist is busy bashing George for mentioning the past... Foreman is not trying to say it did or didn't happen in his book... he is writing about what he thought was happening at the time. The columnist tells a tale of someone weaving a story of sour grapes....
Forman's book was wine and the article was vinegar
Columnist heal thyself - MaxwellTD, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19I'm in the mood for a hamburger now.
- DiggzDE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16The author of the story is a complete idiot. He tries to make George Foreman sound like a bitter old man. There is no such thing as "Forgive and Forget" in the world. It is impossible to fully forget what someone has done to you and not to ever consider or relive it. Instead, Foreman is showing his strength through his ability to remember the actions of those he believes were against him, to forgive them, and to continue on in life from there.
This article made me sick at the cheap little jabs that this author took at a great fighter and grill seller. haha. - VEGETAble, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19yea, not as good as in that shaggy song
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14He was looking pretty damn sharp until Ali rope a doped his ass.
Ali must have injected the drugs with punches. - unloud, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11pshhh, forget that. I like my meat a solid inch thick!
. . .what? - amal3k, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9@np374 (#6885636)
not anymore i don't think - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7@threemagic (#6886058)

"Ali never used the Rope a Dope in this fight.. it's one of the things that shocked George and why Ali came out a winner..."
My god are you just pulling this out your ass? Your on the block list for spitting utter *****.
Direct quote from wikipedia
"Ali's plan was to enrage Foreman and absorb his best blows in order to exhaust him mentally and physically. While Foreman threw wide shots to Ali's body, Ali countered with stinging straight punches to Foreman's head. The champion threw hundreds of punches in seven rounds but with decreasing technique and effect. This was later termed "The Rope-A-Dope"." - Independentsam, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I guess that leaves paper and scissors.
- np374, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6@zanky
I was being sarcastic you idiot, I know that he boxes. Apparently 17 people picked that up, and castrated you for it. - otep, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4
Foreman is probably one of the most powerful punchers in Boxing History --- but so is Ali --- who was one of the few heavyweights who could knock you out with a jab! I'm sure getting socked by a stiff jab strong enough to loosen your spinal column could propagate all sorts of dementia and disbelief -- including: DAMN, THEY MUST'VE DRUGGED ME. - DiggzDE, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I just dugg you down for whining.
It's Digg.com dammit. Get over it. The population here consists of mainly immature, snot nosed, know it all teenagers. I wouldn't care if half of these kids even read my comment, yet alone dugg it or not. They are only on Digg to fill the gap between the time when their mommy feeds them dinner and the moment their parents go to bed, so they can jack off to their mom's Victoria Secret catalog without being worried about being walked in on.
If you are interested in increasing your diggs. Start posting in a fashion that they can understand. Simple words, lots of swearing and profanities, and the occasional lame sex joke that they won't fully understand.
Simple as that. - r00tus3r, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9whoa ... tough crowd.
- postaboy, on 10/11/2007, -12/+16what a horrible use of 'bombastic'
- Chupatumama, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4> If Foreman truly believes in forgiveness -- and no one questions his evangelical credentials
> after 30 years in the pulpit --
What exactly are his credentials?
Seems like every illiterate ex-athlete becomes a 'preacher' because who they are will put people in pews.
Do these credentials come in a Cracker Jack box?
As for Ali, I love how they drag his brain dead ass around like a mummy in some egyptian exhibit. Im positive that the company to whom he sold his name will think of a way to bring his casket from city to city.
And can we quit it with the parkinson's sham? Everyone knows that he has boxer's dementia. If anyone has seen old boxers in person you recognize the signs. Its not like people dont know what punches do to the brain, imagine now a whole career of being able 'to take a punch'.
It was like Lyle Alzado and his steroids death. The man was screwing left and right and happened to catch AIDS at the very beginnnig of the epidemic when it was still a 'fags disease'. For a macho player, it would have been an awful way to die, having people question whether he ever took it in the ass, so steroids was the perfect excuse since he got to die a hetero death and do a few PSA's about the 'evils' of steroids.
But hey, we believed that terrorists in the balkans were good guys and that there were WMD in Iraq.
Oops! - Psalms, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah. But it sure is bombastic.
- palsss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2have you heard the guy talk? he's been drugged for a long time
- ronniemiller, on 05/03/2009, -2/+4not so great usage, but dugg for the use of the word 'bombastic'
- Szandor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2In his defense, he *has* been hit in the head several thousand times.
- ptacnik, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3bringing it up again!? Why the hell wouldn't he? just because its hard for fans to hear? "SHHHH don't talk about it, people want to pretend nothing and noone is ever messed with... you'll destroy our perfect little view"
- DiggzDE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I own two. Not totally by choice, but I guess they make great Christmas gifts.
- RaggTopp, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5There are NO non-grilling months.......there are non-grilling days, eg. heavy downpour. You can grill in heavy snow even. I grill year round, and I'm in Michigan.
- Meowbiusfox, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I have a suspicion though that if Foreman were grilled further
he would be served on a nice onion roll with chedar and fresh tomato. - reyalp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1nmcd is very eloquent and witty
- spjmm0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Let me start by saying it was a great fight but great fight are not without controversy.
Magical place? I hope that you are speaking metaphorically. That stadium was being used as a prison and the prisoners were kept underground during the fight. Plus each Don King could not afford the 5 million dollar purse so the government paid for it. - DirtyUndies, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1George Foreman is the man.
- Independentsam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Foreman and Ali were (at that time) awesome promoters as well. Bravo for both! George simply continued the path starting with his "bang the bum slowly" comeback/tour that remarkably resulted in his becoming the Champ. He continued with his awesome grill. Religious affiliation and George Jr, Jr.,Jr,................aside, should we be surprised that controversy would come to light with a new book to sell. Bravo again!
- leighmac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I emailed Big Fuzzy once and asked him if anyone has ever told him he looks like a potato. This is what he said :)
---------------------------------------
Yes, a sweet potato!
Thanks,
George - 5xSTUN, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I wonder if he was drugged just before his appearance on the 700 Club.
He earned a spot on my permanent poop list for that. - bwhancock, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1We got his grill 10 years ago as a wedding present - it's still awesome - especially for those non-grilling months.
- Cutkomp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@psalms
Haha, I wasn't trying to insult George with my comment. He's a cool dude and I like his old boxing style. It's awesome that he's had so many kids and has been able to do so well for himself as to take good care of them. I also like to visit magical places. - sticksnstones, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4"I always remember Ali as somebody who changed his name and was a draft dodger. I have never had any respect for him. Foreman is no angel, though, but he has credibility with me."
I remember Ali as a man who followed his conscience.
When he became Muslim and changed his name to Ali, the public hated him for it.
When he refused to serve in the military because of his beliefs he was widely reviled.
He is a man who did what he felt was right regardless of the pressure and the effects on his career.
I have very few heroes. Ali is my hero. - DutchGuilder, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3In Zaire before the fight, Ali bribed Foreman's translator, making Foreman's visit very miserable. When Foreman arrived in Zaire and told the crowds "I love your country" the translator said "I hate your country", resulting in Foreman being booed everywhere he went and during the fight.
When Foreman was asked who was the best boxer he ever faced he replied "Frazier". When asked why not Ali, Foreman replied "because Ali is bigger than just boxing".
- Szandor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Don't forget the mayo. Gotta have mayo.
- dancenhance, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3+1 for summing it up.
- SwissCamel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You are Columbo and I claim my £5.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2This isn't NEW people !!
Foreman claimed this 30 yrs ago than retracted it when he became a ordained minister, than when he returned to Boxing he praised Ali and said he won the fight fair and square. Now almost 40 yrs later he's revisiting the Drugged Water theory
Man George Foreman is such a hypocrite........1) Ali is 2 punch drunk to defend this allegations, and Foreman's corner man has been dead since the early 90's,
another person he claims was in on the conspirey
The guy is a loser and should just Grill his Tongue shut !! - Szandor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Sounds like Ali was a real *****.
- Psalms, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3When you said seventy-five children, I went to wiki, because I was about to say, "Christ, that man has some bombastic testicles." The interwebs have enlightened me, ten children, five of which are named George. Don't worry, though, his testicles are probably still bombastic.
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1The columnist, Tim Dahlberg, spent way too much time editorializing. It's like an amateur blog entry, and he insults his readers. He should have just reported the facts and let the readers decide for themselves if they believed it and if it was appropriate for Foreman to write about.
- yomamaisfat, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4I don't know what kind of water Foreman expected to get in Africa. There's no Aquafina there. The best you can hope for is purified puddle water. I like his grill though.
- theillest1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Since he wasn't able to drain the fat from his hamburger he considers it being drugged? He's such a maverick of innovation.
- Zachari, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0You mean the excuse Frazier is going to give for knocking Ali around the ring? I'd say it'd be Ali's mouth...or maybe just his ability to piss everyone off.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -1/+1Just look at Foreman's reaction in his corner before round 1. he body actions and constant stretching is very unusual. His innacuracy during the fight was unusual too, and it wasn't due to ali's ability to duck his punches. Something was done to george. he didn't act that way during previous fights.
- riskybeats, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Did the author say Ali isn't around to defend himself? Did he die and im not aware of it? Cheeeseburgers!!
- Darph.Bobo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1There was also something in the water when Tyson fought Douglas in Japan if you watch the fight it's pretty obvious Tyson wasn't all there but I'm sure he wasn't going to sue the Yakuza. With the odds on that fight....big money.
