Irvins show....

[CATCH17]

Does anyone have a roster of who is trying out yet?

Has it been released?

I thought I heard Mike Williams from SC was on the show.

 

[CF74]

I dunno but after 12 picks Irvin must feel stoopid right about now:laugh2:

 

[CowboyWay]

I bet Irvins guy beats out at least 4 of our draft picks.

I bet Irvins guy beats out at least 4 of our draft picks.

That will be kind of hard when he is cut after a week to bring in a real prospect.

[SIZE=+2]Field is set for Michael Irvin's Dallas Cowboys reality show

There are no butchers, bakers or candlestick makers among the 12 finalists for the cable television reality show that will find the Cowboys' 80th and last roster member when training camp opens July 31.

The dozen dreamers introduced Wednesday morning at the Cotton Bowl are hardcore football types whose most recent experience has been in college, in the Arena Football League or semi-pro football. There are six wide receivers and six defensive backs.
The youngest hopeful is 22, the oldest is 30.

The show, 4th and Long, is the brainchild of former Cowboys Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin, who is serving as host and one of the judges. It is being taped at the Cotton Bowl and will be presented in 10 hour-long weekly episodes on Spike TV beginning May 18.

"The bottom line is that we have to deliver someone to the Cowboys who can play," said Joe Avezzano, the Cowboys' former special teams coach who is working with the show's wide receivers. "We can't waste our time with people who can't play."
Two Dallas-area defensive backs are among the finalists – Erick Jackson, 24, who played at Duncanville High School and Texas, and Eddie Moten, 27, who played at Lancaster and Texas A&M-Kingsville.

The players are living in the Cotton Bowl locker rooms and training inside the stadium. They have been stripped of their cellphones, iPods, laptops and any other way of communicating with the outside world.

In addition to Avezzano and Irvin, former Cowboys defensive back Bill Bates, who signed with the team as a free agent in 1983 and lasted 15 seasons, is working with the wide receivers.

"I think we found some pretty good players," Irvin said. "Now it is up to us to prepare them."

Can't believe the Cowboys are willing to partake in this clownery.

 

[speedkilz88]

I'll try and watch, but just those bios are pretty underwhelming. They all sound like typical udfa's.

 

[NeonNinja]

I guess it could be at least a little interesting to watch.

Yeah, until you realize one of these non-talents will actually be on our 80-man training camp roster. :laugh2:

 

[Beast_from_East]

Is this for real fellas, seriously???


Those bios sound like a bunch of scrubs. One guy was cut twice by the sorry-arse Chiefs, another guy played only baseball in college, one guy played for the Mississippi Mudcats, another guy had a failed tryout for the British Columbia Lions, another guy played in the Patti Labelle League (what the hell is the Patti Labelle League?), and the rest are a bunch of Arena League guys.


We are actually going to waste one of our 80 roster spots for one of these scrubs??? Somebody tell me we are not doing this, please............

 

[Wezsh0T]

I find myself wondering if any of these guys would be better than Todd Lowber or Danny Amendola. I really wanted my buddy to try out for the show. He was a walk-on WR at Washington. Heck of an athlete. Fastest guy I've actually seen in real life.
