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?

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.

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

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.

[simple simon]

ok........some are obvious what the object could be

try and cover Mike Irving.........try and rush and sack Kordell........try and strike out Canseco

one however, i dont really get

are you just supposed to let Randy Couture kick your ass ?

[MJHMarc]

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

[americanwit]

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.
