FanHouse's Ryan Wilson noted today that
letters were written to Judge Henry Hudson on behalf of Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Vick by, among others,
George Foreman.
But let's dig into some of the details of Foreman's letter, which can be read as a
PDF on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution web site. Specifically, check out the way Foreman opens his letter:
Dear Judge Hudson:
I'm a fulltime minister at the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Houston, Texas, former two-time Heavyweight Champion of the world, and known all over the world as the king of the grills because of the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.
The rest of the brief letter is actually an interesting account of Foreman's youth, and although I doubt it had any bearing on Hudson's sentencing decision, it's worth reading for boxing fans who are interested in Foreman's early life. Just kinda funny he felt the need to plug his grill..
