I didn't realize that there was any shred of doubt in people's minds regarding whether or not Mike Tyson is crazy, and indeed a little bit scary. His role in The Hangover shed some positive light on his tattooed little face, but of course, Mike Tyson couldn't live with that. So he decided that he needed to crazy up his public image.
Tyson made his announcement back into the world of sports, but not how you might think. Instead of getting back into boxing or being some kind of crazed, ear-biting boxing coach, he is getting into the fast paced world of... pigeon racing? According to the Associated Press, Mike Tyson is going to compete on an Animal Planet show called "Taking on Tyson." This is a reality show that will follow novice pigeon racer Mike Tyson (are you kidding me?) as he attempts to compete against serious competitors.
So he couldn't have decided to sell himself to a show that at least made a little bit of sense? Even a sport that's widely regarded as a sport? Tennis? Rowing? Jumprope?
Whoever sat down and decided that they should make Tyson compete in the most obscure sport imaginable is a real winner.
