Amazing Sport Stories

Considering I have been a sports junkie for my entire life, with an entire library filled with books, and video I thought that sharing some of the greatest sports story in this blog would be a great idea. As time passes, past generations seem to fade away in time. Nearly all sport fans over 35 could at least tell you something about (Dwight Clark's) "The Catch", or Franco Harris's "The Immaculate Reception". Yet when you ask most sport fans under 30 about these historical sporting events they will just look at you with a blank stare.

I don't consider myself to be very knowledgeable about too many things in life, but my appreciation for sports history is one of my strengths. My goal is to talk about the greatest sport stories in history. Some of them may be more obscure than others, but they deserve to be remembered and have their piece in history preserved for future generations. Please feel free to email me at mastershops@yahoo.com if you have any suggestions on interesting, amazing, and hair-raising sports related stories that you fondly remember, or even ones that were passed down to you from your grandfather. Comments are welcome and encouraged. I'm hoping that this blog can be an interactive place for sport fans to talk about some of the great moments in sports history, and I soon hope to add a forum for everybody to share their favorite sport stories in history.

Mike Tyson arrested for DUI and Coke possession

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has been arrested and charged with DUI and cocaine possession. The Rhodes scholar was leaving a night club in Arizona when he was pulled over by the sheriff's office.

Sgt. Larry Hall said the boxer was stopped after his car almost struck a sheriff's vehicle while leaving the club at about 1:45 a.m.

"He showed signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests," said Hall, a member of the Buckeye Police Department who was working in the area as part of a holiday DUI task force.

Hall said the 40-year-old Tyson was placed under arrest after "showing more signs of impairment" during the field sobriety tests. Police then found cocaine on him and in his car, Hall said. The boxer was alone in the car.

Tyson was booked at the Maricopa County jail, isolated from other inmates for his own safety, and was set to make an initial court appearance Friday morning, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.

Tyson will continue his spiral downfall until it leads to his tragic death. He has earned hundreds of millions in his life but is broke and with no true guidance in his life. Hopefully 'Iron Mike' can find some help before it is too late.
