I once spent some time at the Olympic Training Center in CO Springs and got to know one of the heavyweight boxers there relatively well. He was one of the nicest, smartest guys that you'll ever meet. One night we went to a party with a big group, and a couple of univited guests started manhandling one of our friends. I'm not a big guy, but I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I tend to let my emotions lead me around in situations like this. The whole point of this story is that before I could do more than turn red and get ready to rush the guy, Jim threw 3 punches faster than I've ever seen anyone move. The two guys ended up on their butts begging for their lives and apologizing to the woman. BTW - Jim didn't make the Sydney team, so he's not at Tyson's level.
$10M wouldn't be enough money. What's the point of money if you're just going to have to use it to hire someone to frappee all your vegitables for you for the rest of your life?
