ESPN.com’s Rick Reilly is the latest of many to produce a take on Mike Tyson’s live show in Las Vegas.
And while much of his version is predictable, there is one new tidbit, straight out of the “Only Mike Tyson” catalog.

During the sit-down portion of their interview, Tyson discloses this about what he didn’t put into his standup routine:
“I didn’t talk about Vietnam, or getting a jail official pregnant, or stuff.”
When Reilly asks for an explanation Tyson adds only that, “It just happened, yeah.”
Reilly didn’t flush out that statement any further and, if it’s true, it won’t be easy to pinpoint where it happened.
Tyson is said to have been arrested 38 times by the time he was 13, which eventually put him in the Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, N.Y.
His 1992 conviction for rape landed him in the Indiana Youth Center, which later was named the North Plainfield Correctional Facility.
A road rage conviction in 1998 sent him to the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland for nine months.
He also was arrested in 2006 in Scottsdale, Ariz., for suspicion of DUI, and in 2009 in Los Angeles after a dustup with a photographer.
