So you want to play for the Cowboys?

Michael Irvin will be hosting a show that will take in washed-up football stories..er, i mean people...with the winner claiming a spot on the Dallas Cowboys training camp roster for 2009.

My first thought is of the small college player who works his tail off and loses out to a shmo from a Spike "reality" show.

Also, the competition is for WR and DB's only.

The Cowboys love sideshows and flamboyant receivers and d-backs. Jerry Jones knows how to run a business in this era of shock-and-awe television. However, he definitely has lost his touch and doesn't know how to build a championship caliber team in this era of football.

I've always been annoyed at the arrogance that surrounds the Cowboys organization. They haven't accomplished anything significant for several years to flaunt.

If I was going to like anything about the concept at all, it definitely wouldn't be the choice of receivers and defensive backs exclusively. How is it a legitimate show giving equal opportunity to all? Of course I'm biased because I believe the most important players on the field are offensive and defensive linemen.

Hmm..maybe that's why the Cowboy's have struggled? Too much attention to skill players and not enough to the big ugglies.

Only in America can a cocaine addict from a has-been organization pull off something so rediculous. And only when the Dallas Cowboys are involved.

Thank you for reminding me why I love college football and that the NFL is little more than WWE with pads on.

Jerry's obsession with losers has cost this team horribly and pushed Parcells out the door. TO has been a cancer everywhere and will be awful this year if he isn't cut. Marshall Faulk was very vocal about this on NFL-N. Get rid of him.

College football is great that way. All the passion and very few prima donnas.
