Why does him coming in to practice mean that he's involved? In what way is he involved? Maybe he just comes in because it makes him feel like he's still a part of it or maybe it's because what else is he going to do at 89??

Basically, he was taking a decisions-by-committee approach with him having the final say.  I have seen no evidence that this approach has changed whatsoever.  

Here's an article from a few weeks back where Mike is interviewed and he covers topics ranging from Chase's contract to the lease negotiations for the stadium.

It definitely shows the man is very much actively involved in the teams operations and he is the official mouthpiece for the team. 

But, yes, you can bet he's still collecting his checks.

It sounds like he's informed and knowledgeable about the ongoing situations, like Chase's contract, but that doesn't mean he's involved in any of it.
