Of course I was out saving yet another life and missed the premier of this show- anyone see it?
I wanted to see Romo wax that pasty looking scrawny white dude who was trash talking him in the promos.

I Tivo'd it and love it....it's a little over the top and they talk trash a little to much almost as if they get 100 bucks for every put down, but it's a great show and I'll be watching from here on out...it's really cool
I saw goldberg in the ad in ESPN the Mag

alrite, I'll go through a quick run down
Jerry Rice in full pads is running routes and catching passes and all the "Joes" have to do is try and defend him and make a stop
Rodman has to hit more shots than the "Joes" and then another part they have 1 minute to just get a rebound against him
Goldburg- they have to try to pin him within an allotted time
Matt Williams was lacing ground balls at the guys and they had to make a play at third
and a few other things...it was a good show with good athletes on it

Did anybody think they could do either of these? Very few NFL CB's can stop a WR completely by themselves. I can't imagine a Joe doing it. Also pin Goldberg? it doesnt matter if he has actual wrestling skills. He is very strong.

they could tackle them or just make him drop the pass...as for Goldburg that was a joke b/c he wouldnt budge...but I think only his back had to touch not get pinned....Rodman was sick under the goal rebounding....he was just toy'n with them

I remember back in the early 90's (when I still had skills) my friends and I used to ask each other if we could score on Jordan. I still say I can because it is basketball. Could you beat Jordan one on one now that is a whole other thing. I know I could score on him though even now (though it would be much tougher today than in 93.
