Dan Gould Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 This came over the NYT email alert literally moments ago ... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/sports/george-foreman-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.504.fXhv.kaOuJNG5QWza&smid=url-share When I was a kid, I loved boxing and loved George Foreman the most, and was so disappointed when he lost to that loud-mouthed braggart Ali. It took a little while for my appreciation for Ali to catch up to the reality of his skills and character, but my admiration for George only increased in the ensuing years. RIP. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 22 Author Report Posted March 22 Since the Times alert email came in the minutes between logging onto my email account and "what is this new email?" I assumed it was really breaking news but I guess the Times timed it to the publishing of the obit. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 RIP George Foreman! I remember January 22, 1973, very well. Three things happened that day. 1) The US Supreme Court handed down its Roe v. Wade decision. 2) LBJ died. 3) Foreman beat Frazier. Quote
