Suh-weet: In addition to having the goofiest name ever, the new CBS reality show/Johnny Depp rip-off has Christian Okoye.
I know that doesn't mean much to most of you, but I remember when he was a running back for the Kansas City Chiefs. He had this one game against the Seahawks that's etched in my memory: They'd hand it off to Okoye and he'd run straight up the middle for 20 yards. Time after time after time. I think the Seattle linebackers were afraid of him - the safeties were making all the tackles.
I'm from Seattle, but fortunately I'm a Packers fan, otherwise that might have stunted my development. He set some kind of record that day.
Anyway, his NFL career was only like four seasons. I can't remember if it was because of injury, or because the rest of the league wasn't as slow and weak as Seattle's defense.
UPDATE: OK, now I'm even more in love with this show. One guy's profession is listed as "Scientist/exotic dancer." Because that's so much more respectable than an "Exotic dancer/scientist."
But the exotic scientist gets sent home. And he seemed to be the only one that was trying to be interesting. Eh.
