 Mike Tyson's new show - Taking on Tyson - will debut on Animal Planet on March 6. It's about his oddball life and his love of pigeons. In advance of the first episode, he talked to espn.com about all sorts of things, including Michael Vick. To wit: " 'Hey, you've been given the wrong signals all these years, and you didn't realize you were destroying God's animals.' So we have to change his way of thinking. Not kill him, not assassinate him." Tyson also said Vick shouldn't be castrated. Good to know.

I think I might watch his show now. You?

Tyson's weirdness totally freaks me out, but I'll watch. I can't not watch. He gave an interview to Larry King last year. I watched all of that. And he's going to be in The Hangover 2. I'll watch that, too. The guy is so creepy, how can you not watch?

Sometimes you don't have to say anything. But if I have to watch mumbling, washed-up fighters playing with pigeons, I prefer On the Waterfront.

I think mumbling and fighters is redundant, but I get your point. Anyway, maybe Vick can do a cameo on Tyson's show. Huge ratings.

I know he would have my ear.
