One-time Giants QB Jesse Palmer: got the ball rolling with a featured appearance as the Bachelor. Now we will soon see ex-Dallas Cowboys QB Gary Hogeboom as a competitor on Survivor while Chris Valletta (previously connected to the Saints, Titans and Bucs) will be fodder for the Donald on the Apprentice. Obviously, NFLers bring tremendous reality TV intangibles and upside! (cause three examples makes a trend).
Somebody should have made a reality show about Ricky Williams. Can anyone suggest a title? Where's Rickey?

"The Holistification of Ricky" With all due respect to Walter Payton, the only NFL associated reality show I'd be interested in would be "Behind the Music: The Superbowl Shuffle". Then again, a televised exorcism performed on the Lions to remove the demons of eternal destituteness, would be pretty cool too.

This bothers me, because a former NFL player has already taken one hit from the crack pipe of fame. They're taking up a space that could be filled by the next Jeri Manthey or Darva Conger.

Ricky's reality run? Easy -- "The Bong Show." I'd comment further, but I fucking hate reality TV.

I think the next NFL collective bargaining agreement should have a stipulation stating that any player who enters into an embarrassing reality show (they're all embarrassing, actually) has to leave the game immediately and permanently. Not that any of these clowns mentioned above would be putting too much on the line with respect to their stellar football careers.

I'm holding out for the Lawrence Phillips variety hour. We could watch him tossing pregnant women down flights of stairs.

I think that a show featuring Bill Romanowski, Lawrence Phillips and Ricky Williams living together in a Big Brotheresque house would be dynamite. Planet Earth would not survive.

Do we want to see him tossing pregnant women down the stairs? How about the women wupping his ass? That sounds even better, I would watch that.
