 | Still, on the bright side, MSN is offering the George Foreman fat-free griller for a mere $14.99.
George Foreman is, for my money, the more interesting of the Ali/Foreman diptych. Whereas the Rumble in the Jungle was effectively the capstone on Ali's career, a career characterised by principle as well as performance, and the lead-in to his evocative decline, Foreman's response to what might not at first seem such a terrible thing - losing to Muhammad fuckin' Ali - was the catalyst for a breakdown, depression, clawing his way back to the edge of a title shot, cocking it, finding Jesus, reclaiming a world title at the age of four thousand in a frnakly unequal match against Michael Moore, and finally the George Foreman Lean and Mean Fat Grilling Machine. You cannot argue with moves like that.
