How have I never owned a George Foreman Grill? I owned the Bacon Wave and several Chia Pets.

I've never seen a person have an odyssey and transformation as remarkable as his.

The introverted fighter that shows up in Zaire with his German Shepherd and the loquacious grillmeister can't be the same guy.

What a path.
