    In reply to Oprah's Tyson/Holyfield Matchup, The Death Knell for Macho
    Andrew, ordinarily the sadification of macho action stars might be true. But any fight fan knows that Tyson is peculiar. He embodies both the best and the worst of the world of boxing. In his prime he was a furious, impeccably-trained monster. Fast, strong, gravity-defying. But he was stupid, and angry, and easy prey for all the people in his life who used him. Maybe some introspection earlier in his life could have saved him a lot of misery so yeah, from an action-hero point of view sure it's sad I guess, if you're trying to write a blog post. But from a human being point of view, it's nice to see Tyson maybe start to escape from those things that have been plaguing him. Tyson's macho was always a poisonous sort of macho. The kind that is all to familiar in society. So why not celebrate that the dude is maybe able to surpass it.

    Also, he lost his daughter about a year ago in a pretty terrible accident, so maybe a little sadification is to be expected?

    Oh, Christ. Something about the conceit that MT might have found some sort of redemption in the face of his child makes this unbearably sad. As does the fact that he does not seem able to deal with strong emotions. And, of course, the poor little girl. Ugh.

    Back in the day, I used to see Brooke Shields out with guys who were all darting eyes and scowls on their faces, and the first thing I would think was, "Yeah, she's not fucking him."


    That would also explain all that time she spent with Michael Jackson.

    @BookishLookish: Oh, Brookie. When I read this I was all ?, because she was obvs very beautiful (still is) - how could she have low self-esteem?


    But I'm guessing having an alcoholic mother, stage mom no less, might have something to do with it.
