Well, our least favorite franchise is back again, making a total mockery of themselves.
The first time Michael Irvin watched "American Idol," he loved the concept of giving undiscovered singers the chance to become stars. Now Irvin is doing the same for NFL wannabes.
The Hall of Fame receiver is launching a reality TV show in which 12 "football neophytes" will compete for an impressive grand prize: a spot on the Dallas Cowboys' training camp roster.
"I don't know if you can walk upon any group of guys that wouldn't say they dreamed of playing in the NFL when they were playing in their front yard," Irvin told The Associated Press on Thursday. "So we're going to take a group of guys from their front yard, dwindle them to one and give that guy the opportunity of a lifetime."
The Cowboys confirmed that one of their 80 roster spots will go to the show's winner.
The money shot:
Considering the Cowboys are coming off a disappointing season filled with all sorts of turmoil, adding a player more likely to be profiled in "People" than "Sports Illustrated" seems risky. It could be perceived as just another sideshow, like the cameras from HBO's "Hard Knocks" that tracked the team in training camp last year.
Yet Irvin, who hosts a local radio show that spends a lot of time analyzing the Cowboys, dismissed that notion.
"I don't see how you can make this a negative for the Dallas Cowboys," he said. "We all talk of doing good things for the community, for people, giving people opportunities. Jerry has stepped up and said, 'OK, let's do it.'"
Yes, this is for the good of mankind!
Next time you complain about Snyder, just think...at least we're not this freaking circus.
Indeed... we are a totally different circus... More like "Cirque du Burgundy de Boones Farm"

My hero on this site is losing his edge. Thanks for picking that up, Irn-Bru.
Let it not be said I can't ruin a good joke.
No one would say that.

Korea?
Uncle Sam thought I'd like to visit South Korea...
Spent 7 years on Okinawa Korea was vacation land for me...made many memories there!
You can remember? I usually stayed drunk so I wouldn't be thinking about my wife back in the states. Pathetic, I know, but I made it (with a few less brain cells wich I couldn't afford to lose in the 1st place).
...any given Sunday....
RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!
