Joe vs. Pro

Has anyone watched the show on Spike TV called Joe vs Pro. They take 3 average "Joe's" and put them against professional sports stars (including Olympians). They have Soccer stars, basketball stars, football stars (I"ve seen Michael Irving), swimmers, baseball stars etc. It can be quiet hilarious especially when they show locker room scenes and the Joe's are mouthing off about how great they are and what they will do to the professionals. The Joe with the most points at the end of the show wins a prize. I love it. Has anyone else seen it?

Re: Joe vs. Pro

I saw an episode the other day, one with Herschel Walker, Dominique Wilkens to name a few.

I was LMAO when the three Joe's raced the fastest man in the world.

Re: Joe vs. Pro

The newest season begins I think Thursday night, I'm not sure of the timeslot, on SpikeTV.

Here's a story from the St. Louis Dispatch

Quote:
Upon further review, there IS fame after sports for several former St. Louis pro athletes.

Spike TV's "Pros vs. Joes" reality series, which makes its second-season debut Thursday, lists Will Clark, Vince Coleman and Grant Fuhr among the pros competing against average Joes.

Here is what the Spike TV website says about the show: "Think you can stop Michael Irvin? The Joes play defense against football great Michael Irvin, hit in a home run derby against Jose Canseco and get battered by Ultimate Fighting legend Randy Couture."

Others involved include Kevin Willis, Kordell Stewart, Claude Lemieux, Tim Hardaway, Eric Dickerson, Roy Jones Jr., Andre Rison, Rik Smits, Robby Ginepri, Rob Dibble, Dave Winfield, Wade Boggs, Marc Jackson, John Starks, Andre Reed, Darryl Strawberry, Spud Webb and Tom Chambers.

Re: Joe vs. Pro

Even with only a closing-pitcher occupation on my small pitching resume, I might be able to strike out Canseco (if he is clean).

Re: Joe vs. Pro

I would like to it turned around and have the pro play a different sport. I would like to play ultimate frisbee against Michael Irvin.

Re: Joe vs. Pro

I don't know if I'll watch tonight but last week's part was funny when the Joe's were in the locker room. One of the guys said they'll talk trash to all the guys except Randy Couture.

LOL!
