    Mike Tyson pleaded guilty Monday to charges of drug possession and driving under the influence stemming from a traffic stop last year as he was leaving an Arizona nightclub.

    Tyson acknowledged that he had taken cocaine and was impaired when he was stopped for driving erratically in Scottsdale on Dec. 29.

    Well, he almost hit a police car as he was pulling out of the strip club parking lot is the reason the cop stopped him in the first place.
    Talk about stupidity, the guy never even made it out of the parking lot which is a good thing as he may have killed someone on the road that night with all of those drugs and drinking on top of that.
    Mike will go bye bye, but probably not for four years, IMO.
    Maybe a year or two is my guess, as I don't know if they give time off for good behavior in Arizone.

    :dunno: He brings the sh*t on himself. Why would you feel sorry for a guy like that? Guy's had more money and opportunities than anybody else. Guess it's true that you can never take the ghetto out of the kid.

    If Not for DRUGS, Mike Tyson would've have a MURDER Charge by Now...Drugs R the ONLY Thing Keeping Mike from INSANITY...

    I guess Geemoney should be paying up by now to the guys whom he had made a bet with regarding Tyson being champ again? Jake, he owes you money doesn't he? :lol:

    :rolleyes: Please! The guy's not insane, not even in the slightest. He's just angry at everybody except himself. There are real crazy people out there, he's just an angry dumb f*ck for the most part.

    The FACT is Mike Tyson has Been Taken ADVANTAGE Of from Day One...Mike's had more People LEECHING off of him than Probably Any ATHLETE Ever...

    NOBODY Cared that Mike was a Mental WRECK, they All Looked @ him as a Meal Ticket...INCLUDING Cus D'Amato...

    Dude, Mike Tyson has a Tat ON HIS FACE...

    When he Wasn't Being BULLIED, he was Being MANIPULATED by So-Called Authority Figures (From the Time he was 12) who were ONLY Looking Out for THEMSELVES...

    Mike was an UNattractive, IMMATURE Kid w/a GOOFY Ass Voice, who SUDDENLY had All Kinds of Money & Pussy THROWN @ Him...The Guy was ON TOP of the world @ 19-20...Could YOU have Handled All the Fame, Fortune & Adulation that Mike had, when YOU were 19-20???...

    Or Maybe U've Been PERFECT YOUR Entire Life:rolleyes:

    Mike Tyson's Mother was a PROSTITUTE & a Drug Addict...Mike's Father (who he RARELY Saw) was her PIMP...Mike has Been BETRAYED in Some way by EVERY SINGLE Person he's Trusted (w/the POSSIBLE Exception of Cus)...

    That's a FACT...

    Cus D'amato gave the guy a chance in life no matter how you want to spin it. Otherwise the kid would've been just another dead body on the street. And there were several other people including Jimmy Jacobs who bent over for this guy.
    Teddy Atlas tried to keep the f*cker in school. Tyson's a product of the ghetto and he was out of control. He made his own decisions. How long are you gonna weep for this guy? Just accept the reality that he was doomed no matter how much help he was given.
    Who helped you in your life Reed? You made something of yourself, you relied on yourself and you made your own decisions.
    Why did Tyson need to be hand held every step of his life to stay out of trouble. He was a f*ck up by nature. Nothing and nobody could ever help people like that.

    Tyson was also never insane. That's just all BS. You act insane and then suddenly when a ref pokes a finger in your chest threatening to disqualify you, you back down and whimper "Yes Sir". :lol:
    Surprised how many people fall for Tyson's BS acting.

    Yep...

    But what U're NEGLECTING to Mention is that BOTH Cus AND Jim Jacobs were DEAD by the Time Mike was like 21-22...Mike was Still YOUNG & IMPRESSIONABLE when they Died...Were YOU a Fully Functional ADULT who was READY & PREPARED to Take on the World by YOURSELF @ the Age of 21-22???:dunno: ...

    But before we Paint Cus & Jacobs as 100% Good Samaritans, they ONLY Looked Out for Mike Cause he could Fight...So in that Sense, BOTH Cus AND Jacobs were USING Mike Tyson Themselves, just like EVERYBODY Else Mike has Met in his Adult Life...

    Cus & Jacobs were THE ONLY Guys who Gave even HALF a Fuck about Mike Tyson...Tyson had Virtually NO Relationship w/Bill Cayton; he was More of an ASSOCIATE of Jacobs & he Had Access to Fight Films...That was his Role in Team Tyson...

    REED won't even PRETEND that he's had as HARD a Life as Mike Tyson has...Not even Close...REED Couldn't Imagine WATCHING his Mother Get BANGED by 2-3 DIFFERENT Guys EVERY Night or WATCHING his Mother Use HARDCORE Drugs...

    Or Having NO POSITIVE Male Role Model WHATSOEVER, Until your Teen Years...Or Having the FEW Positive Role Models U FINALLY Acquire DIE on you...

    REED "Weeps" For Mike Tyson Cause even if U PAID REED, he WOULDN'T have Wanted the Life Mike Tyson Had...INCLUDING ALL the Money, ALL the Celebrity PUSSY he's Gotten...REED Wouldn't Want to Spend even ONE Day N Mike Tyson's Shoes...

    & NOW he's @ a Stage of Life where THE ONE Thing he was Good @ ISN'T a Reliable Source of Income for him Anymore...

    Mike Tyson is SEVERELY Damaged Psychologically...It's OBVIOUS...& the VAST MAJORITY of that Damage was Inflicted on Mike during his YOUTH...Kids R KIDS...If U Fuck them Up EARLY Enough, their Lives WILL B SHIT,9 Times out of 10...

    THAT's the Story of Mike Tyson...

    U've NEVER Heard REED Referencing the Ear Biting as a Show of Mike's "Insanity"...

    The Ear Bite was 1 of 2 Things...

    1. Mike was SCARED & Wanted OUT of the Fight, OR...
    2. Mike was Genuinely PISSED about 2 Fights Worth of Headbutts & Took Measures into his OWN Hands...

    But How Many Mentally STABLE People Get Tats on their FACES???...It's a CLINICAL FACT that Mike Tyson is BI-Polar...He's either as DOCILE as a Lamb or a Borderline MADMAN...

    U Ever Heard of Zoloft???...

    The only reason any of us give a sh*t about Tyson is because he was a good boxer. Otherwise to all of us, he'd be just another 'bum'. Hell nobody here gives a crap about guys like Etienne and them who are doing life. Who knows what their childhood was like. A lot of kids had f*cked up childhoods who couldn't make a living in any profession.
    Tyson had endless opportunies to clean up. He had more money than anybody. Hell why not talk about all the other bum boxers out there who never had 1/10 the opportunity he had? Of course though, we're not gonna give a crap about any of them.
    It's the way of the world Reed. You take care of yourself and your own. Nobody else will. :dunno:
    All these psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, counselors, etc are doing jobs. They don't help us because they give a crap about us. Nobody gives a crap about anybody. That's just how this world is.

    But by that Same Token,U CAN'T Get Upset when People DEVELOP an Affinity for a Boxer who's Been N our Presence for as Looooooooong as Tyson has Been...

    U're RIGHT...@ the Crux of REED's "Love" for Tyson is THE FACT that he was a Helluva Fighter...But Mike HASN'T Been that for Close to 20 Years Now...

    Yet REED STILL Cares about the Man's Well-Being...REED isn't just Gonna SHUN the Cat Now that he's Not Useful Anymore, N a Prizefighting Sense...

    All the Money & Opportunity N the World DOESN'T Rectify or LESSEN the IMPACT of a Fucked Up Childhood...ESPECIALLY when Clinically VALIDATED Psychological Damage was INFLICTED During 1's Childhood...

    I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying. Even I have or had tremendous respect for Tyson. I thought if he had stayed hungry and avoided the Don Kings of the world, he'd have been one of the best of all time. But there's no happy ending coming his way.
    It's unfortunate really.

    Etienne is a piece of shit who tried to shoot a four year old little girl in a carjacking attempt after robbing an EZ loan.
    These guys (also Caveman Lee and James Page for example) like Cliff evidently develop sexual feelings and preferences towards men and hate women and want to be in a man only environment as they are more comfortable there.
    I don't think that is the case with Mike, I think he is just very mentally ill.
    I agree about your take on the 2 years, he won't do 4.

    Hard to feel bad for a guy who's had as many chances and oppurtunities as Mike Tyson.

    I think prison may be the only thing that keeps him from killing himself.

    Thank God that cop stopped him before he could get on the highway as wasted as he was, because he probably would have killed innocent motorists as well as himself.

    He's not a first time offender though, they're gonna be on his ass a lot. Talking about a convicted rapist here. He also spent time in jail for attacking 2 motorists.
