If this were a sport, would you watch?

Jim Rome was talking about this today and I have to say I would tune in to watch NFLers playing dodgeball. Think of the poor bastard that gets drilled by Vick. I would like to see teammates oppose each other, think Peyton Manning drilling Mike Vanderjagt in the mouth.

Anyone else here ever catch a pass from just an NCAA QB, let alone an NFL QB? I have, and the bastard damn near knocked 2 of my teeth out. Believe me, catching a pass from one of these guys ain't anything like your best friend Toby telling you to go long on the cul-de-sac.

<Someone> was talking about this today and I have to say I would tune in to watch MLBers playing dodgeball. Think of the poor bastard that gets drilled by Torii Hunter or Randy Johnson. I would like to see ex-teammates oppose each other, think Barry Bonds drilling Jeff Kent in the mouth.

EDIT: Reason I use Hunter is because of the throwing the ball at the situation a few years ago.

On the topic of Mike Vanderjagt abuse, I was playing against the Colts in Madden this morning, and they came into the game with their starting right guard injured. Unsurprisingly, the backup guard was playing in his place. Two minutes into the game, the backup guard goes down with a season-ending injury. When the Colts ran the next play, I noticed that one of the OLmen butts facing the camera looked an awful lot smaller than the others.

The third string right guard was also the backup center, and the starting center was also out with an injury. The game had to search around to come up with a replacement, and came up with... Mike Vanderjagt.

That didn't work so well.

LOL - poor Vanderjagt.

And yeah, I'd have to admit I'd at least tune in once or twice to watch.

Yeah, like he'd actually be able to hit his target. I'd be more worried if I were the guy 10 yards behind the guy Vick is trying to hit.

Technically he still got drilled by Vick. Can you imagine the linemen in an event like that?
