Weirdest Athlete?
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
The bizarre circus ride that has been Mike Tyson's boxing career came to an end this past weekend. Tyson refused to enter the ring after six rounds with Kevin McBride (did they get this guy off the streets?) and repeatedly stated afterwards that his career was over. "It's a hard feeling, not to be a violent man anymore," said Tyson.
That last quote ought to tell you how crazy Tyson is. That got me thinking: is he the weirdest athlete ever?
Ricky Williams is out there. Ron Artest has said and done some crazy stuff. But can anyone top Dennis Rodman? Rodman, with his rainbow colored hair and piercings from his toes to his ears, once made a public appearance in a wedding dress. Rodman would seemingly invent ways to bring attention to himself. (Rodman tried to make a comeback this year, by the way, but failed.)
Can anyone think of an athlete crazier than Dennis Rodman?

Weirder than Dennis Rodman? Is that possible?

John Rocker was a Major League pitcher for the Atlanta Braves a few years back when he spurted out all kinds of racist comments in a Sports Illustrated interview. That incident eventually led to his departure from the league, but I think I saw recently where he was trying to make a comeback.
