Mike Tyson gives PTI a taste of his Broadway show
Yesterday, Mike Tyson was PTI's guest for Five Good Minutes to talk about his upcoming Broadway show, which we told you about last week. Tyson's transformation from baddest man on the planet to convicted rapist to ear-biting psychopath to face-tattooed crazy person to comedic actor to lovable, engaging storyteller has been the most fascinating character progression in sports the last two decades. On PTI, Tyson showed his range that will be on display on Broadway as he opens about his past, tells an insane story about Robin Givens and Brad Pitt, and talks about boxing vs MMA. Definitely take the time to watch the interview and marvel over the Mike Tyson transformation...
"I embrace my shame and embarrassment... in order to like myself I have to embrace truly who I am."
"This is going to be pretty stimulating for you Mike because you like to talk about the venereal diseases and stuff."
"I didn't even think about sluggin him or killin him, all the fight was knocked out of me when I saw that."
"The collective state of boxing is so 20th century now, you actually expect the decision of who's going to get robbed and this is going to happen and that just leaves a bad taste in people's mouths."
"Now we have the MMA, which is a very illuminating sport that everybody needs to be participating in."
"If you're fighting in the street, you ain't gonna ask the guy are you in shape, how much you weigh?"

Brian Haywood will be the inside the glass analyst for tonight's game 1 of the Kings at Canucks game for NBC Sports Network!
John Forslund is the PBP man for game 1 of Kings at Canucks and games 2-4 of Rangers VS. Senators, Mike Emrick, Eddie Olczyk and Pierre Mcguire is in the glass for games 2 and 5 if necessary of the Boston and Washington series,Mike Emrick and Pierre Mcguire will be in the glass for games 1-2 and 4 and 5 if necessary and Eddie Olczyk will join them for game 3 of the Flyers and Penguins series, Dave Strader and Brian Engblom will be the inside the glass analyst for games 1-4 and 5-7 if necessary of the Redwings and Predators series,
The Detroit ar Nashville game on CNBC on Friday starts at 7:30 instead of 8:00 Eastern time!
I think that it is kind of strange that Boston and Washington are playing games 5 and 6 on on Saturday and Sunday, before having 2 days off, before having a game 7 on Wednesday, If Necessary and why does the Vancover at Los Angeles series has 3 days off between games 4 and 5 if necessary??
I wonder why New Jersey dosen't play game 1 against Florida untill Friday and why game 7 if necessary of Philadelphia at Pittsburgh and Detroit at Nashville is on Tuesday April 24th??
I also know that 8 of the 16 teams that made the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year, share a building with an NBA Team too!
