Tyson offers to counsel Gascoigne

::
I can't wait.
This needs to be turned into a reality programme: "When Iron Mike Met Gazza"

Good for Mike! :clap: Mike is an elder statesman at this point, he is respected madly by other athletes and what he wants to do is constructive.

Mike has been there and wants to help others. Keep in mind that Mike with all his problems he is a very sharp guy actually.

 

He can be pretty philosophical. Would you ever let a zoloft-free Tyson babysit your kids, dsimon?

 

The man is a trainwreck. I'd take advice from Riddick Bowe before Tyson.

 

who in the hell is Gazza?

 

Tyson isn't really in any position to offer any counselling to anyone. He's still going around getting arrested for carrying coke and sh*t in his pockets. The only way he'll give counselling is the day he's free of his own demons. Otherwise everything he says is just hot air at best.
It's like a druggie telling you to stay off drugs.

 

you made me really laugh on this one Hanzy:: :bears:

 

WTF????::

 

Think of the thickest, stupidest short-fat bloke who is gifted at football/soccer yet constantly drinks pints of lager, eats chocolate bars/take-away food, beats his wife and makes a jerk of himself at every opportunity and blows chance after chance of turning his life around.
A total nutter.


Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne.

 

Was Jones any good?

 

'There's only two Paul Gasgoine's, two Paul Gasgoine's'. Fucking low life, wife beating thicket.

 

No. Good at getting sent off but nothing else.

 

Pretty much correct.::

His technique was awesome and his ability to pass was almost Maradonaesque but he blew it all.

Vinnie Jones was just the kind of player you see in that picture. The dirtiest football player I have ever seen though he could help his team with his trcks

 

It's like letting Michael Jackson recommend a babysitter. ::

 

quality:laughing:

 

No offense to you, but Tyson's career and personal life prove him to be anything but a "sharp guy". He always has been, always will be, a mental midget. And his "problems" have almost always been his own damn fault.

 

:: absolutely. Your other post is 100 % correct too:bears:

 

:bears:

Here is a guy who had the world in the palm of his hand yet, found a way to pull his arm back, step, and throw it as far as he could away from him.

Hardly an example for ANYONE to follow. He just got arrested in Phoenix for cocaine less than 3 months ago too! He hasn't learned from anything.

 

He's not really the first though. How many athletes/celebs have 'screwed up'?

 

Right, but he's the only one offering to give this Gazza character a life lesson.

 

Yep.

What's he gonna tell him, pull a George Costanza and do the opposite of everything that pops into his head? ::

 

We are also talking about a convicted rapist here. That's a lil different than just screwing up.

 

I can't believe that you are trying to defend Tyson here or even play devil's advocate. We aren't talking about his career or boxing ability. We are talking about his character.:doh:

 

:: Yeah I know. I was just trying to see something positive out of nothing.

 

There's plenty more where that came from...unfortunately.
