Kordell Stewart vs. Joes


I've become a fan recently of Pro's Vs. Joe's on Spike TV. It pits retired athletes against common Joe's who think they can compete with the big boys. While watching a rerun this week, I caught Kordell Stewart's appearance. The Joes had to try to stop Kordell from making a throw into 1 of 4 targets. Kordell couldn't throw the pass until the ref's second whistle and it put on display his ability to avoid being sacked. Also, without having to read a defense.....it showed he really did have a decent arm as he continously hit the targets while moving in the pocked. True, the targets were stationary, but he did a decent enough job. He was even funny in taunting the Joe's by doing Ray Lewis' dance, Deion Sanders' dance and taking a nap on the ball (was that TO or Chad?). The thing that really sparked my interest was a commercial for this Thursday's new episode where Slash is back for another round. He gets into a fight with a contestant and it looks like it's going to come to blows. I'm wondering what was said to aggrevate him that much? I'm betting it's a gay reference and I can't wait to see the episode. The taunting almost goes too far. Some idiot threw a basketball at Tim Hardaway after he got his ass handed to him in a game of 1-on-1. Claude Lemieux took care of him in the next round by hitting him in the face with a hockey stick. With all the garbage that's on TV, PVJ is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

This comes a no surprise. Kordell was a great athlete among great athletes let alone these average Hoes, er I mean, Joes. He just never should have been playing the Quarterback position in professional football. Another magnificent coaching decision by Field Goal Billy Cowher.

I will contend (cause it's too late to prove now) to my dying day that Kordell Stewart could have been a Hall of Fame WR.

We should be having the discussion of who was the best Steeler WR ever, Swann, Stallworth, Ward, or Stewart. Instead we are watching him try to earn some $$ playing silly games against 30+ year old has-been HS athletes for a second tier TV network.
