Mike Tyson's longtime manager Rory Holloway has a new book out called Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson and it looks trashy and spectacular. The book includes a great story about Tyson and Michael Jordan, who were out for dinner in Chicago with Mike Ditka, Richard Dent and Don King shortly after Tyson's divorce from Robin Givens. As luck would have it, Jordan had dated Givens several years earlier and after a few cocktails with Tyson, things got interesting between the two. Not as interesting as the Tyson-Naomi Campbell bathroom incident, but interesting nonetheless.
Johnny Manziel Controversy of the Day
Another day, another Johnny Manziel story. According to TMZ, Manziel was at a club in Houston when some members of the crowd started yelling at him and "aggressively" trying to take photos. Manziel flipped them off, they threw drinks at him and the QB left with his entourage. This led Kellen Winslow Jr. to offer some advice to the former Heisman Trophy winner, which is kind of funny since Winslow was allegedly caught pleasuring himself at a department store parking lothas encountered some off-the-field problems of his own.
