Mike Tyson - How Low Can He Go?
OK, I know I'm stuck in a sports rut, but this story is just too pathetic not to make comment. Mike Tyson reports he' s considering fighting women during his next "tour" of boxing matches. As Andy Griffith might say to Otis the town drunkard, "pitiful, pitiful".
On the upside, at least this time he can hit a gal without it leading to domestic violence or assault charges (see multiple instances thereof in the timeline).
I'm here all week. Try the veal.

Man, that Timeline was compulsive reading. You couldn't make a movie about this guy's life -- it would have to be a mini-series. And it would be rated NC-17 (at least). A real Thug's Thug.

Putting on my "psych" hat for a moment, it is pretty clear that Tyson has bipolar disorder with a touch of intermittent explosive disorder thrown in - not a good mix for a guy who literally could kill you with one punch.
Tyson seemsm to have gone astray after his father figure, Cuss D'Amato, passed away. Cuss protected Tyson from the distractions and exploitations that big time boxers face. Ultimately, Tyson probably would have gone around the bend anyway, but without D'Amato he had no hope of surviving undamaged.

I imagine Cuss protected Tyson the way an owner protects a pit bull. I do like the 'Dredrick Tatum' character on The Simpsons who seems to be based at least a little on Iron Mike, though.
