The Other Paper has a fascinating report on what former Buckeye great Eddie George has been up to these days. Despite owning a successful restaurant and landscaping outfit, George has ventured out into the world of internet talk radio.
George hosts a weekly one-hour talk program on an Internet-only radio network called Voice America. Since it’s a pretty safe bet that you’ve never heard of Voice America and thus never heard George’s show, you’ll want to know that Radio by George deliberately ventures away from sports topics. On Jan. 28, for instance, the Buckeye icon’s topic of conversation was the national touring production of The Vagina Monologues.
More than once while talking to cast members from the play, George pondered the possibility of putting on The Penis Monologues. At the end of the show, he indulged that fantasy by offering a hammy monologue on his own genitalia.
“My penis is so awesome. It is such an awesome penis,†he said. “It has veins that flow the blood of life. Oh, my penis is so awesome that it also intimidates me. I’m empowered by my penis. It is the obelisk of life.â€
"I'm empowered by my penis." Words we can all live by, indeed.

That man has a body like a Greek god. Wow. Funny - I go to the gym, too, and am still not looking like that.
I freely admit to being the moron in the stands at Eddie's *first* Illinois home game, muttering something about how Cooper should bench him and never let him see the field again. Mea culpa.
Yeah, I remember being annoyed as a young Buckeye fan every time Eddie came into the game because I didn't think he wasn't anywhere near as good as (I believe) Carlos Snow. Oops.
On a related note, while I had previously thought Eddie's restaurant in Columbus was overpriced, they had $1.75 Molsons last Saturday night, thus winning me over. Again, I was wrong about Eddie.
So while I'm afraid of hearing any additional discussion about Eddie's wang, I think I might have to give his radio show a shot. Dude's constantly proving me wrong.
wow...
Sean-
I had mixed thoughts on Eddie's restaurant also. It is a bit pricey for the average student but the food is good and the atmosphere is awesome. Plus, the ability to take a piss and never miss any of the action on TV is priceless.
Sean-
Be warned, it was a Molson Golden that I had which came with a free chunk of broken glass in it.
....and as much as I like Eddie.....I REALLY don't ever want to hear him talking about his penis on the radio.
"My penis intimidates me"
I fell out of my chair laughing.
I actually think Eddie George's penis is the 15th leading rusher in Ohio State history.
I think the reliability of the Other Paper is in question. Did you guys actually hear the radio broadcast?
EG is no Gun Show Jr. though, just heard on the Bucknuts Radio Hour interview that he put up 225 lbs 45 times! I believe that is the record at the NFL Combine and hes doing it as a Jr. in high school.
NA, unfortunately, radiobygeorge.com is launching an error when you try to load up the audio archive, so no, we haven't actually heard it.
But, The Other Paper's account made it to the internet and we all know that if it's on the internet, it's true.
This by the way is the type of story that Buckeye fans should bury. Can't wait to see this all over the Big Lead and SEC sites.
Rick, who cares? It's funny. North Korea has some work for you if you're interested in a propoganda path.
Just as an FYI on another business venture for our beloved EG... He and Jerome Bettis are now part of the ownership group of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans here in South Carolina. That just went down recently... Here's the link:

The fact that Eddie is part owner in a MLB farm system team local to where I live is great. Maybe he'll be popping in and out of town now... Also, here's hoping that he opens another Grille 27 down here. That place is awesome!!
