Mike Tyson Reps For The Pigeons

It’s not everyday that we can report Mike Tyson has a new job. Consider this one of those rare days...

Tyson is set to star in a new Animal Planet reality series about pigeon racing, tentatively called Taking on Tyson.  The former champ –who has raised pigeons since childhood– says "I feel a great pride acting as an official representative for all the pigeon fancier's out there.'' (now, re-read that with a lisp and then contain your laughter)

Tyson will co-executive produce the show, which will focus raising and racing pigeons, a largely unknown urban sport.

I'm happy to see him getting back on his feet. Taking on Tyson debuts in early 2011 on Animal Planet. So, will you watch?
