Mike Tyson is in trouble with the law yet again.Tyson, known as much for his rap sheet as his right hook, pleaded guilty yesterday to driving under the influence of alcohol and cocaine in December of 2006. Tyson also plead guilty to possession of cocaine, which is a felony punishable by up to four years in prison.
For the former heavyweight champion, it's just another chapter in a sad and bizarre life story.
We all know about the rape, the ear-biting incident, the two failed marriages and seven children (that we know of), the ridiculous facial tattoo, and the bankruptcy. And of course, there are the legendary interviews.
The limelight is probably too much for a man like Tyson, who for all of his athletic ability, lacks the mental capacity and emotional stability to function as a normal human being.
Tyson knows this.
In 2005, he told USA Today, "My whole life has been a waste - I've been a failure." At this point, it's hard to argue.

So much wasted talent... I agree, hard to argue with his 2005 quote.
My favorite part was how his attorney said that this was clearly a crime against himself. Um, no. When you have coke on you and you're lit up driving around, it's pretty much a crime against everyone.
I feel bad for the guy, actually.
