LOL No, but I did shoot some pics for Jim Gray in which they took turns biting each others ears. I've worked with with Mike for Showtime since the 90's. He's certainly had his surly moments, but in recent years he's always been very gracious and fun. He has a beautiful wife and daughter and really seems to have his life in order.
No doubt. He once told me that after he got some education in prison, he realized that he had always been overpaying at restaurants because he really didn't know how much money to leave. He said there are restaurants that he should be able to eat at free for the rest of his life because he overpaid so much. He is still a very charismatic guy and it's always a fun day when I get to work with him. His assistant mentioned that a new Corvette was parked out in front of his house. Mike didn't say anything but I saw him get up and walk out side. He came back a few minutes later and asked for the keys in a very serious manner. I laughed, but he didn't. He then forcefully demanded the keys....again. I didn't know what to say and he knew I was a bit rattled and then he started laughing. He was just screwing with me.

That's really good to hear. I watched a documentary on Tyson and he had a very difficult childhood and surrounded himself with the wrong people as an adult. Everyone deserves a chance to change, and it is good to hear he did. So many of these athletes end up very differently.

Looks like his muscles went straight to his gut/stomach! I bet he can still punch pretty hard though. But Pink shorts?!!?

Ha! I remember that thing. He drove it (or one just like it) to a workout at the Golden Glove gym here in the 90's. It was a POS and wouldn't start when he was ready to leave. He was pissed. He showed up the following week with a new Jaguar XJ220. He said he had just picked it up at the airport and had paid $1 million for it. Back then, that was chump change to him.

Yeah, it's not a flattering pic but he' still in great shape....works out every day. That hand shake of his feels like he could crush a piece of coal into a diamond.

I used to think that tat on his face was just way way over the top back in the day. Now it seems kinda tame compared to what you might see at Starbucks

Dude, that's pretty damn cool and Mike is looking pretty good for all the schit that he's been through.
