The Rumble in the Jungle memory: unable to afford pay-for-view as college students, 20 to 30 of us gathered in our dorm to listen to the “live” post-round summaries broadcast on the radio. I can’t remember the exact round but the “it’s over” announcement of Ali’s win will not be forgotten.

Watch his biopic on Netflix, it's a great movie.

opinionbitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hopefully he’s getting a grilling.

Was there ever a final judgement in those cases…???

baconbaby.bsky.social•3 days ago

Might get the grill out tonight. I see a nice healthy steak and a toast coming up!

oldehippi.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes!!

torontoheatherz.bsky.social•3 days ago

No! I hadn't heard.

He was an incredible man.

gjrboston.bsky.social•3 days ago

kdsgenx.bsky.social•3 days ago

He was a Trump supporter and was accused by multiple women of sexual assault, but ok.

grandmasr.bsky.social•3 days ago

💔 RIP

khayos.bsky.social•3 days ago

And a really nice guy.

The Punching Preacher.

finalgirlanarchy.bsky.social•3 days ago

gmsoros.bsky.social•3 days ago

The good lord blessed him with a good life

Some of the toughest, most notorious, violent men are sometimes the kindest people.

lonestarlegend.bsky.social•3 days ago

I always wanted to meet “Big George”. Just never had the opportunity.

olelib.bsky.social•3 days ago

And it was wonderful watching his ads for InventHelp…great man…a champion…

lockdonaldo.bsky.social•3 days ago

I guess you meant 'rest in peace' but it was too hard to type

therealdwoo.bsky.social•3 days ago

I happened to be close at hand when an overweight preacher named George said he was unretiring to win back his boxing crown in '87 at age 38.

Just smh 🙄

At 1st he padded his record with easy wins

BUT, he went on to mount arguably the most impressive sports comeback ever

RIP George Foreman
Legend

therealdwoo.bsky.social•3 days ago

*SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN QUOTES FROM
Mike Coppinger (ESPN)

"mounted arguably the most impressive sports comeback ever.

At first, Foreman padded his record with easy wins."

poormamanv.bsky.social•3 days ago

Also a rapist and trump supporter let's not leave that part out.

cafetelaviv.bsky.social•3 days ago

He was a Mensch, after all.

RIP, George

theexuberantraptor.bsky.social•3 days ago

It should be the goal of every individual that when they pass form this world they are remembered fondly and missed dearly.

larisacary.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed.☺️💚

rcam.bsky.social•3 days ago

Too bad he was a supporter of the rapist/felon/traitor comrade trump

truecardigan.bsky.social•3 days ago

He was punched in the head repeatedly as a career into his 40s.

iamalootbox.bsky.social•3 days ago

So basically what we’re gonna need is, you punch at this guys head.

Now, he is gonna try to dodge. You gotta just keep on punching. 👍🏻

debedu.bsky.social•3 days ago

RIP George Foreman🐐

in-zeus-i-trust.bsky.social•3 days ago

We used to think that Americans are tough, fearless, intelligent, "cowboys," proud, free, and have dignity, honor, and patriotism.

Scratch all that.

Your majority, or at least those who voted 3 times for the Nazis, have none of all of the above!

gotham-lark.bsky.social•3 days ago

No excuses we should know better. The electoral college was bought. It was literally bought outright, and trump's gang knew exactly how to do it. Now we're paying to get every bit of it back.

inspire717.bsky.social•3 days ago

A legend ✝️🕊️🕊️

quantum-man.bsky.social•3 days ago

Grill lids closed, set to half power.

olelib.bsky.social•3 days ago

Actually…it is a wicked awesome kitchen tool…really is…

iamalootbox.bsky.social•3 days ago

For what

olelib.bsky.social•3 days ago

Grilling…almost as good as gas grill… but way faster…

You and Sis have been seen here. Would Kansas have an Ernie Chamber

cheeks1128.bsky.social•3 days ago

2025 is not great...so sad.

gotham-lark.bsky.social•3 days ago

I remember a quote from his guest appearance on tool time.

George "I'll hit it. But I've got to get mad at it first. "

atheistveganstoner.bsky.social•3 days ago

Rest in peace great man🥊

spookymorales.bsky.social•3 days ago

RIP GOAT Big George🥊💙🙏🏽

cyberdude83.bsky.social•3 days ago

Which one?

sturrrt.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well said. Rip

🕯️❤️🕊️

hugoagogo69.bsky.social•3 days ago

Aye, rest in peace George!

dragonwitch1.bsky.social•3 days ago

A true legend, won heavy weight titles twice. Once while young in the early 70s and my favorite winning it again at the age of 45.

shaunwong.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just heard about this. Heartbreaking. Met him when I worked at the airport he was so nice. RIP George

citizenswain.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’ve taken countless numbers of George Foreman grills from garages to thrift stores over the years. He definitely seemed like a genuinely good guy.

mcdjtomorrows.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you gave an F you wouldn’t be “worth” $50,000,000. Or did I miss something?

lindabuckta.bsky.social•3 days ago

Condolences to his family. Rest in peace.

Raping underage girls doesn’t seem all that wonderful or kind or generous to me.

amber2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump supporter as well. They all seem to be the same type of horrible.

nomadswingset.bsky.social•3 days ago

Generously hoarding his wealth, generously sexually assaulting minors and family, generosity voting for Trump.

kdsgenx.bsky.social•3 days ago

pilarbug.bsky.social•3 days ago

🙏RIP George. Rest Easy.

bgwj777.bsky.social•3 days ago

That sucks.
RIP George.

pmzyox.bsky.social•3 days ago

What about the rape charges?

jaybrittenham.bsky.social•3 days ago

George Foreman was a force of nature! That was so kick ass how he came out of retirement and got his belt back.

I would say that there will only ever be one George Foreman but he made five of them.

crankyoldman.bsky.social•3 days ago

One of a kind!

grunteledboomer.bsky.social•3 days ago

But there are MANY George Foremans left to carry on his legacy.

grunteledboomer.bsky.social•3 days ago

Foreman had 12 children: five sons and seven daughters. His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey").

grunteledboomer.bsky.social•3 days ago

On his website, Foreman explains, "I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common. I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together, and if one goes down, we all go down together!'

musicmatters1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Will tRump remove all alleged traces of DEI in sports or does his selective outrage not include sports? We literally would only have a few baseball players, a few Quarterback's and Tight Ends, and a few basketball players. Lol. Go ahead, tRump. Show us again how smart you are.
