patweisers44 806 Posted March 22 RiP to one of the hardest punchers in the sports history. Spawned one of Cosell's most iconic calls. "Down goes Frazier...down goes Frazier!!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 2,244 Posted March 22 He came from the times when heavy weights were not just great boxers but very much fun and entertaining. You made many happy, and all of us loved our Foreman grills. God bless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 5,146 Posted March 22 I don't remember his days in the 70s but rather his comeback in the 80s as well as his jovial service as pitchman for those grills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying this coming week if I can find a use Tranny to put in my Monte or see how much a rebuild will cost. Anything much over two grand then I will have to get Clyde to trash the Monte. 98 Corolla is still what I ride now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should prepare something fresher. If it’s been in your closet 25 years it’s prolly not safe to eat. RIP George 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIP George Believe it or not, I thought about changing the structure of that sentence after I posted, but I was too tired & didn't think anyone would catch it. WRONG!
