Wasn't it just a regular electric grill on a slight angle?

Don't worry George Foreman is sleeping with the angels.

Bummer. Rest in peace big george.

I remember there was a pretty infamous boxing match that he was doing commentary on. one of the boxers was going through a bit of a nervous breakdown, most of the commentators were ragging on the guy, when he was clearly having a bad time of it, George said "Well, he's gone through a lot recently and it can happen to anyone. he needs some help, and if i could, i'd go up there and give him a hug." Thankfully, after that match, in the intervening years, that boxer sorted out his problems, and went on to continue being successful. I can't remember the guy's name, but i remember one thing about him, he used to spar with mike tyson, and was one of the few people who could actually keep up with him during a sparring session, dude was a certified badass. but even badasses can have a mental health crisis.

drat. We're all human and props to George for recognizing that.

Yeah. also, here's a video about the boxer in question, oliver mccall was the guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s5sHmDoTwk I forget if george's quote made it into the vid.

Thank you for the context. The video doesn't seem to have the original audio included.

My uncle story.
He was told to eat healthy after a life of frying the gently caress out of everything, so got a George Foreman grill.
And while showing a cousin how healthy now he was, he made something with it, put it out on the plate,
then took the drip tray that had all the hot fat, and poured it over the rest of the food on the plate.
In all seriousness, he thought this was healthier.

RIP George

:stare:

Is your uncle still with us?
