Mike Tyson’s Career Arc Takes a New Turn

Remember the good old days, when hearing the name Mike Tyson invoked images of raw power, fury, anger and bat-shit insanity?

I miss those days.

Like a ton of athletes/celebrities, Tyson was ill-prepared for life after his career ended.  Other than a funny turn in The Hangover, Iron Mike’s post-boxing escapades have generally been a downward spiral of banality and stupidity.  In other words, Tyson has reached the unfortunate stage of his life where he’ll do anything for a buck.

Prime example–this embarrassing appearance on Italy’s version of Dancing With the Stars.

Tyson’s performance is oddly sublime.  It’s like he’s having a total body seizure–set to music.
