pros vs. joes

Pitting average guys in athletic competitions with pro athletes, this show (Spike, Mondays at 10pm) is a gem. Oh sure, all the "Joes, you can call me the Bus Driver, I'm gonna take you to school!" crap is deathly dull, and I'll die happy if I never again have to see pros pretending to be outraged and motivated by the Joes' audition tapes. But where else can you see mortal men try to cover Jerry Rice? Or try to pass-protect against Kevin Greene? Or try to get hits off Jenny Finch or rebounds against Dennis Rodman? This is great, funny stuff. I've only seen three episodes, but I can't imagine I'll ever get tired of seeing couch potatoes race Dan O'Brien or try to return Misty May spikes. And where else will you ever see Clyde Drexler pointing out the irony of John Rocker pitching to a sportswriter?
