Dat "grill food" got him.

Seemed like a decent negro,never heard of any controversies with George and Whitey women.

One of the most exciting fights I ever listened to on the radio was Ali/Foreman. That fight--among others--probably contributed to Ali's health problems. Catching a many a blow from Holmes and Frazier too.

George fought into his mid 40s I believe.

George was an unapologetic supporter of Trump:

In other words, an uncle tom to 90% of blacks in America though I doubt any of them would have called him that to his face.

POPE FRANCIS SOMEHOW SURVIVES HIS DOUBLE PNEUMONIA--WILL BE DISCHARGED SUNDAY.

(GRA)abc noise reports the Pope will need two months of rest to recover after his discharge tomorrow. They must have poured the works(antibiotic-wise)into him to allow him to survive. Based on personal experience with my mom,he'll be fortunate to make it to July. The docs can fix that first catastrophic illness,but it takes so much out of the body that another incidence of pneumonia will likely be the end . Of course the Pope gets better care(24/7) than regular folks do--why--I have no idea. That factor of round the clock care must be taken into account as well.
