I Wish I Could Be like Mike

Michael Grisso
Tyson that is, with reputation backlashes and drug charges. If I were Mike Tyson the first thing I would do is go to the hospital and see if they could shock my brain. Give it some sparks of light in there if only for an instance to brush some sanity into that little head. It's like watching the boxing version of Star Wars with Anakin Skywalker. His mind has been twisted by the Darkside one too many times.

In recent events in Buckeye, Arizona Tyson, was arrested by police in which they found two, not one but two, bags of white powder in his back pocket. With my cat-like thinking I would have made a quick joke about it being some flower I was taking over to my mother's house because she ran out, before being hauled off to jail. However, Mike will always be Mike, and he admitted to the officers that he used it the same day and he was an addict with a problem.

Now I don't know too much about weights and prices of cocaine, but nonetheless, last time I checked Tyson was broke. Where in the world did he find money? Well, the only thing that can be thought of is he was sitting at home(wherever shelter that might be) and went through a little thought process that goes like this:

"Well, I need money so I can feed my pigeons, but, I love this white candy stuff so how am I going to find money for both. Let's see, I already raped someone, beat the pulp out of someone, bit Evander's ear off, tried boxing out for the 300th time only to continuously lose, what left is there to do that I can do? Oh, I know, rob a bank! That's it I think if I do that and get caught I will go down in history as the biggest named boxer to have gone to prison or jail for virtually everything".

Evidently the robbing the bank thing never happened. How do I know this? After Tyson was arrested and had to go to court he didn't even have an attorney. Which would lead me to believe he had no money, or of course no one will represent him since he has none.

In the end Tyson was still the best boxer of his time, and will go down in history as the most high-profiled troubled athlete ever to play a professional sport.
