Default Joes Vs. Pro's (tv show on spike)

They had these pro's against 3 "joes" who thought they were good at stuff....

Dennis "the worm" Rodman, Jerry Rice, Bill GOLDBERG, Some Baseball guy and Jim McMahon (who looked horrible)

First they tried to "cover" Jerry Rice....ahahah.... zero chance

Then they tried to outshoot Rodman, which one of them actually did (Rodman wasn't know for his shooting)

Last was golf and the pro's probably practiced a good bit and skunked the Joe's.

In the end there was a medley of events (catch ground balls to then throw to 1st base, throw football through some holes, wrestle Goldberg, out rebound Rodman.... $20k to winner.

It was funny to watch how good these old semi washed up Pro's were compared to the average guy.

It would be neat if they did something like this with race cars.... give the Joe's half an hour to get used to the cars then see who can drive....

I saw in the promo shoots that Bill Romanowski was going to be in the show at some point. It'll be great fun watching him go all 'roid rage on some Joe

Those dudes sucked at covering Jerry. I know hes one of the best but still their fundamentals were awful.

I think it has to do with the average guy sucks.....

I loved how that one guy kept saying how he was going to win, "take some notes", "this is how it's done",...etc....

He was in good shape, but threw the football and baseball like a girl.

It would be funny to play tennis agains John McEnroe, or try to out drive Jack Nicholas.....

I would love to play against McEnroe.. he kicks ass... and he would be yelling and throwing shit the whole time..

out driving Nicholas isn't so tough anymore.. it's out scoring him. You try and shoot 69 at his age...hell, try shooting in the 70's at his age...

You want to try and out drive John Daly????

I didn't catch the whole show but the rebound part with Rodman was funny.. he would just stiff arm the little guys and the only rebounds the Joe's got where the ones that bounced to the 3-point line...

Yeah, I saw it too. I did not know how BIG rodman is he made Goldberg look like a child.
The wrestling part was funny, Goldberg slapped those joes around like rag dolls.

I really enjoyed the show. I am not sure if it will be on much but i would keep watching it.

I personally realize that I cannot hit a baseball nearly as far or as often as a professional, but I guess it is fun trying.... at least the one guy made $20k for beating the other 2 losers....

Funny how pros, way pass their prime, can beat the crap out of regular guys in their prime, except for Dennis Rodman who got out shot during his test. It surprised me how the smallest guy won the competition though. 5' 9" 160 lbs sounds like high school kid dimensions.
