One of the warmup bouts for his next fight will feature Tonya Harding.
Whhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I’m speechless. I actually had a quasi-decent rant built up, but all of the air has been taken out of it.
The only thing that could bring Tyson’s fight any lower would be if Carrot-Top was fighting in a Loser Leaves Town Match.
Of course, millions of 1/8th wits are going to pony up $39.95 for the Pay-per-View.
Morons.
I find it almost laughable that you actually think even the Tonyanator could bring Tyson’s status any lower.
Hell, you could have Tonya fighting, with Michael Jackson’s nose ringside, Joey Buttafuco doing color commentary, and Roseanne Barr singing the national anthem and it still couldn’t make Tyson more of a caricature than he already is.
The top 10 things Mike Tyson would have to do to shock us at this point:
10: Take his money and disappear.
9-2: See 10
1: Actually win one of these fights for a change.
I’ve asked it before, I’ll ask it again: What has he done in years to deserve this kind of attention? What?
Actual quote from Tonya H.:
The Sports Illustrated (online) article very kindly refrained from reminding us why Tonya Harding is famous.
I believe it was her competitive nature.
I can’t wait to hear what this moron is going to say before the fight.
He always comes up with the most bizzare comments.
No andros, Roseanne Barr should be the bikini clad “round girl”.
Think of that.
Thanks a lot, Forbin. I get to go to bed in a few minutes with that image running around in my head.
::shudder::
**Forbin, ** your image of Rosanne Barr in a bikini nearly made me hurl, as the kids say these days.
Mu father, the most conservative and conforming of men, said it would have been worth getting arrested to have stopped her singing the National Anthem the way she did. He says it was too bad he couldn’t run out onto the field, grab the mike away, and just have time to say “Now let’s do it right!” before the cops got him. I told him I would have run interference for him.
Since when has Tyson been responsible for the lower card? If anything, blame the promoters.
I personally see it as a very smart move by them. Plenty of people are going to pony up the bucks in the hope of seeing Tonya Harding get punched several times in the face. Sad fact of life.
BTW, I do think tyson is a dispicable rat-bastard, but lay the blame at the feet of who is really responsible.
Actually, and I cringe when I say this, I saw Tyson on a news show tonight and he sounded fairly sane. (Note, I posted a thread about Vargas using Tyson as a character witness. I couldn’t think of a worse person for Vargas to use)
I didn’t see all of it but what I caught made me think that Tyson is actually taking meds that work for him now. What I did see was this:
Tyson: “The Lewis fight made me feel really clean. I felt terrified. I don’t know if he whipped my [bleep] and baptized me at the same time” (Note not verbatum)
and
Tyson: “I’m tired of being stupid”.
Tyson seemed, from what I saw at least, to be happy and didn’t throw a fit. He was in a suit and tie. It looked to me like he is actually getting his stuff together. But it is Tyson so if he goes nuts again I won’t be suprised.
If Tyson is actually getting his shit together I wish him well. It was obvious for a long time that he has serious problems. If he goes back to his old shit I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.
Slee
Well, she certainly is round…
And OJ. You forgot to work in OJ. How about "OJ and Judge Ito as the “cut-men”?
Oops, has anyone seen OJ’s other glove?
WSLer, you have too much faith in Tyson. He can always sink lower.
Jeez Forbin!
Not only is that image too terrifying to bear, now I’ve got the song "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini lodged in my cerebrum.
Thanks a lot!
How do you sink lower than convicted rapist and part-time cannibal? Tonya is a positive step up for this psycho.
…Okay…
Bikini clad round girl, andsinging the national anthem.
<posting this from the mental institution, obviously>
Michael Jackson has it.
Didn’t Tonya whoop Paula Jones (?) butt on that Celebrity Boxing show? I remember watching it but I’m not sure who she beat. It was pretty funny.
Not someone I’d want to run into in a dark alley…
