put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'

    Can't wait. Why? Because Mike Tyson is awesome.

    I'll check it out because I saw him on Ellen the other day, and he talked a little about how he grew up and said he never really wanted to be a fighter, got sucked in at 12, and without family guidance, basically was a puppet for some guy. He seems so normal now. I'll watch the show, then see what I think.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Tyson says a lot of things. He was not a puppet for Cus D'amato though. If he weren't a boxer, he would be dead or in jail. He wasn't exactly on the right track when he picked up fighting.

    ok, so Tyson is a liar...I never paid that much attention to him...ok watching the show on my DVR now...

    ok, finished watching...the show was alright. Don't like that announcer guy, same guy from 'Animal Cops' :?
    Tyson on the Ellen show made it out to be the show was all about him, and how great he is (now I think of him as pretentious).
    The show itself is about a group of guys raising the pigeons, Tyson just happens to be a part of it. I'll watch another show, but if that one sucks too, then I won't watch it again.

    I like Mr Mike Tyson, was a great Boxer and he seems to be currently on a path of truth. So much respect for that.

    The greatest fight one will ever face, is the battle of self. Malik Abdul Aziz seems to be going at it pretty well these day's.

    That's true to a point, he grew up in one of my old neighborhoods...Bedford-Stuyvesant....Brooklyn, NY and he was a thug with thuggish behavior. Boxing got him out of that violent mean streats environment which took him up to a more peaceful environment in upstate NY. Where Cus taught the art of boxing especially the mental side of the sport.
