Compete To Underachieve With the Cowboys

Contestants with mug shots will be given priority

The Dallas Cowboys are in the news again today but somehow it’s not about a current or former player getting arrested.  This will surely piss off Kobe Bryant because he’ll get fewer headlines, but the Cowboys are planning to fill one of their 80 training camp spots with the winner of a reality show. 

Michael Irvin will host as 6 wide receivers and 6 defensive backs battle it out for the chance to have their dreams crushed.  There’s no cash prize or anything, just a spot on the training camp roster, where coaches will be told to keep the guy around to get more attention, but ultimately cut him before they have to sign him to an actual contract.  Well, I’m sold. 

Maybe in an attempt to make the Cowboys more like they were in their glory days of the 90’s, Mike will take the contestant most likely to be arrested on drug trafficking charges.  The first one to get in the van, without asking questions, and drive it across the border wins. 

Spike TV will be airing the show, which is produced by the same people who brought you “The Biggest Loser”.  I’m guessing this show will have a different name, although since you’re trying to play for the Cowboys they could probably keep it the same. 

I’m actually on board with this idea for one reason.  If Terrell Owens is in Dallas next year, he’ll implode if some reality show contestant catches a ball that could have gone to him.  Of course if TO gets shipped off to someone else next year, then this show might as well be Grey’s Anatomy because I’m not watching.
