I don't believe anyone watched the ESPN-themed show E:60 last night and there was a documentary on former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and his bid to change his life around at 41.

Tyson admitted that he wasn't equipped for what was in store for him during his reign as heavyweight champion along with many personal troubles in his life.

He also mentioned that he also had a long habit of cocaine abuse and drinking problems that have derailed him and he's trying to steer his kids away from what he went through.

For once though, it was a bright spot to see him take accountability for all the problems he went through. So far, he seems to be on the right track as long as he doesn't get in any more trouble.

More of Tyson's interview can be at www.espn.go.com/boxing and look for the E:60 link.

So do you still want to kick him in the nuts?

ChronicTiger,

Money talks and you know the rest. When I feel Tyson is fully changed, then I'll consider your post.

I see Mike around town all the time. He's still drinking and womanizing, so I doubt he's changed !!:bomb:

DAWGH8R,

Mike is violating his probation as the judge told him to be sober. That doesn't look good for MGT, a father of four.

Drinking and womanizing...sounds like Mike finally has it together....

Keno, you may have to take a trip out there and straighten him out.....

ChronicTiger,

If that's the case, there better be a camera ready to show me putting my foot in Tyson's nuts!

On a side note: Mike did partake in a charity walk yesterday for the community. Hopefully, someone is telling him the 'right' things to do !

DAWGH8R,

MGT has a long way to go. I wonder what would happen if he ever came to Massillon? Do you think he'd be welcome with open arms? That would only happen if he's only fully changed.

Anyway, Tyson is making a little progress......better than none.
