LOS ANGELES -- Chris Kluwe may not be playing football, but he's staying on the field.

Pivot TV, an upstart cable network, announced Friday at the TV Critics press tour that the former Vikings punter will host a new investigative series about the intersection of sports and society. No title or premiere date were revealed.

In its announcement, Pivot said Kluwe would bring his "David vs. Goliath" attitude to the docu-series.

The series is being produced by T Group Productions, which also overlooks Tru TV's "Storage Hunters" and History Channel's "Invention USA."
