First things first, can my Giants get this guy a contract – Puhhh-leaaaaseeee?! Victor Cruz recently spoke about being in talks for a new reality TV show. I’d definitely be one of those fans watching. Check out what Cruuuuuuz had to say about it and what Kris Humphries has to do with it…
Via DailyNews:
Victor Cruz told the Daily News he’s in talks to land a TV series.
“It is going to be something that is very unique to me and very unique to what I like, and like to do,” he said.
“We are still fielding some requests, so we will see how it goes — the timing has to be right, and I have got to squeeze in some training in there before the season starts,” he said.
Cruz, 26, is adamant that his reality series would be tightly focused on him.
He said that watching NBA star Kris Humphries get into an ill-fated marriage with Kim Kardashian on her reality show was terrible — and he wants none of that.
“I definitely want it to be my show,” he said. “My own thing, something that I can contribute to and something I like to do, I can be comfortable with, and an easy show, something people like to watch and that people can be in tune with on a daily basis.”
Cruz said he’d like to base the show in New York.

UPDATE:
Early on Monday we mentioned a report in the New York Daily News about Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz trying to lock down a deal for a reality television show while simultaneously trying to lock down a long-term contract with the Giants.
The report quoted Cruz talking about his plans, which he said were for a show “unique to me” while bearing no resemblance to shows featuring the Kardashians. Now, though, Cruz has taken to Twitter to deny any involvement with a reality show.
“This is truly God testing me for something much bigger. Never EVER doing a reality show. Nor am I in talks for one. #NYmediaboredom,” Cruz wrote.
It’s a bit confusing, since Cruz was quoted extensively in the initial reports about weighing offers for a television show. Cruz never says he’s trying to land a reality show, however.
“I definitely want it to be my show,” Cruz said in the Daily News. “My own thing, something that I can contribute to and something I like to do, I can be comfortable with, and an easy show, something people like to watch and that people can be in tune with on a daily basis.”
