Simpson's Sports moments again---

18. Drederick Tatum: Spanning multiple episodes, this caricature of Mike Tyson is the main recurring athlete character on the show. Managed by a Don King knockoff named Lucius Sweet, Tatum's history truly is a checkered one.

Grew up in Springfield, later learning how to fight in the notorious projects of Capital City.

Honed his skills while serving time for aggravated assault and manslaughter in Springfield Prison.

Although he liked Homer, Dedrick Tatum threatened to "make orphans of his children."
Has fathered several children, with different mothers.

Won a boxing gold medal in 1984 Olympics.

After becoming heavyweight champion, informs Kent Brockman in a candid interview that Springfield "is a dump. If you ever see me back there, you'll know I really (bleep)ed up bad."

Was the token black panelist at the Miss American Girl Pageant.

While sitting in his cell, quells a prison riot simply by telling everyone "hey, come on guys, just shut up."

First comeback fight (after spending five years in prison) is "Tatum-Watson 2: The Bout to Knock the Other Guy Out." Tatum reclaims his title.

Featured on the cover of "Millionaire Boxing" magazine, with the story "Drederick Tatum: Why Such Rage?"

Is temporarily incarcerated for pushing his mother down the stairs (which if he could "turn back the clock on my mother's stair-pushing, I would certainly ... reconsider it").

Another comeback fight from jail is against Homer, dubbed "Payback." "Society put away Drederick Tatum for his brutal crime. But he's paid his debt, and now, he's going to get revenge ... on Homer Simpson."

In a press conference, Tatum describes Homer "as a good man, but I'm definitely going make orphans of his children." When a reporter reminds the champ that Homer is married and his kids have a mother, Tatum replies "Yes, but I would imagine she would die of grief."

Is part of a group representing the purity of morals in Las Vegas when Homer and Ned try to ditch their quickie brides; physically throws Ned and Homer across the state line.
