NFL Players on a Reality Show of their Own.

After finishing my previous post I had a thought. It was along the lines of how NFL players could entertain us even if they were not playing football. The theory is put 6 or 7 NFL players in a house similar to the show the Real World on MTV. While MTV might be cool with hosting this show on their network it should really be on HBO then it could be uncut. Plus if there is not a season HBO will need to find something to replace HARDKNOCKS. This show could be called the House of HARD KNOCKS.

Now I am already thinking of a group of guys for this show. Guys like Antonio Cramartie, Chris Cooley, Ben Rothlesburger, DeSean Jackson, Tim Tebow, and Chad Ocho Cinco. Could you imagine the things that would happen in this house? Cramartie made a name for himself last year on HARDKNOCKS when he started naming his children, it didn’t take a math genius to realize one woman couldn’t have all of those children. Ben Rothlesburger…do I even need to explain? DeSean Jackson is the cocky SOB that everyone hates. Reality shows need this guy so the rest of the house can bond. Tebow is the Christian boy that every show seems to have on it. Cooley is an original prankster and that’s all I needed to know, but a dude who accidently posts a picture of his junk online is going to be good for unintentional comedy. I couldn’t imagine making a show like this without Chad Ocho Cinco.

The basic premise is simple they live in a house together with no TV or cell phones and are taped all day and night. They have to go out to the bar at night otherwise who is going to watch this show. Obviously the show is not going to let Rothlesburger commit a crime…allegedly. But it will be just as fun to watch him try to get these girls. Plus the thought of Tim Tebow at a bar is humorous to me for some reason. There can even be the twist of making them work at some BS job while they are on the show. It can be as ridiculous as the Jersey Shore cast working at the Shore Store or a Gelato Shop or as legit as working with a charity.

Now the next thing is where will they film? What city would be the most fun to watch this group in? I think they need to be in Miami, New Orleans, Cancun, Las Vegas, or Southern California. It needs to be a city with a night life and a place that is used to seeing celebrities.

One idea is to add women to the house. It really depends on what the producers want the show to be because adding women to the house adds another element then all guys. There will be more drama that is for sure. If women were the case I would add Ines Sainz, a couple cheerleaders (at least one from Dallas), Jennifer Starkey (DC Divas of the Womens Football Association), and maybe a girl from the Lingerie Football League to the house. If the women are added then a couple of the men will need to be removed so there are not too many people. Jennifer Starkey really does play for the DC Divas and they really are a Women’s Professional Football team but it could be any woman from any women’s team. I know this will never happen but it’s great to think about.
