Don't About Forget Mike Tyson

With all the recent happenings in the O.J. Simpson chronicles, it is easy to forget one of the other bad boys of the sports world: Mike Tyson.

Yes, the lobe-ravaging fiend of the beat-the-crap-out-of-you school of rock has plead guilty to the possession of cocaine and DUI stemming from an incident last December in Arizona. As Tyson was leaving a bar, he was pulled over after almost hitting a police car where it was discovered Tyson was more than just a bad driver.

Tyson could be looking at more than a slap on the wrist for this latest incident. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said:

"He has run out of second chances, at least in my book. I believe some period of incarceration is necessary to help this man break his self-described addiction to cocaine and to protect the public."

Well, we all know how well Tyson's last date behind bars for rape in 1992 helped rehabilitate him and correct his mental deficiencies. At the very least, Tyson should be able to hold his own in a prison riot, provided there aren't any Evander Holyfield fans in the crowd.
