Professional Life Swap: Athletes Switching Jobs/Homes with Average Joes For a Week

 

   I've got this ideas brewing that I believe could make millions of dollars. Have professional athletes switch lives with some regular old people for a single week and film the entire thing. It would be the same premise as Wife Swap, but better. 

    You obviously couldn't do this during the actual sports season, but even the offseason training regimens would make this TV/Streaming Service Gold. It would be great to see both sides of these stories and the actual interactions that could come out of it. The average Joe could get some prize money of $10K or some shit and the professional athlete could donate money to a charity of his/her choice. 

    Imagine this as an episode concept. Take Aaron Donald (Defensive Tackle for the LA Rams) and switch his life with a factory worker in the middle of Ohio. Make the completely average to below average dude have to go to the Rams facility and do all of Donald's workouts and live in his house for a week. The guy would probably have the time of his life meeting a bunch of Professional Athletes and hanging out in California. While at the same time, make Aaron Donald go to Ohio for a week and work 12 hour shifts while living in a two bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor with no elevator. 

    The whole underlining theme of each episode would be how good some people have it or how some people are happy with the small things in life, some stupid shit like that. I just think it would be funny having some factory supervisor try to tell Aaron Donald what to do for a whole day. Actually now that I'm thinking about it, the show should donate $100,000 to a charity if the Athlete stays for the whole duration. It's a win win scenario for everyone. the Athlete has to live and work a regular life for a week, or some kid in Africa starves. This will give the Athlete a reason to stay or else he/she looks like an Asshole. 

    You know who should fund this? Roger (non-football Pussy) Goodell. Instead of offering out fines during the season for whatever the fuck, he could instead have the players opt to do this TV show as a community reach out service to show how caring the NFL is. Ray Rice would still be playing in the NFL if this would have been an option. Ndamukong Suh would be a series regular. Michael Vick could be the host of the show.

Conclusion

    Make Professional Athletes swap lives with regular people for a week for charity. Film it so I can watch Richard Sherman wash dishes in a McDonalds while some random Joe is living in his house picking Sixes at the bar and sleeping in his bed.

Cleveland Browns Lose Starting Kicker: Kareem Hunt

    The Cleveland Brown are currently standing in shit water. With Nick Chubb being out for a calf injury, The Browns were relying on former Chiefs Kicker, Kareem Hunt, to take the majority of the snaps until Chubb was able to return at full health. Unfortunately Hunt himself suffered a calf injury in the 37-14 lose to the undefeated Arizona Cardinals. 

    If Chubb isn't healthy by this Thursday the Browns will be forced to use both Demetric Felton and D'Ernest Johnson to split carries in a matchup against The Denver Broncos. The Broncos have currently let up 705 rushing yards in six games, so this is one matchup where you can easily take control of the rushing game if you have the guys to do it. 

    The Browns NEED the run game this week, especially with the unknown condition of Baker Mayfield who we are still waiting to hear the 2nd review of his MRI results on his non-throwing shoulder. If he doesn't play then it will be Case Keenum coming to the rescue to secure the win. I still think the Browns have the advantage but it should stay a close game.

Jameis Winston is Brett Farve in Hiding

    The year is 2010, Obama is President of the United States and Brett Farve is the starting QB for the Minnesota Vikings. December 20th of that same year, Brett Farve leaves his final game after suffering a concussion against the Chicago Bears. That following January he filled his retirement papers with the NFL, fully realizing the end of his NFL career......... or so we thought. 

    Flash forward two years. Farve is now healthy again and becoming bored with his life outside of football. He starts to devise a plan to make himself look young and athletic again as he's coming into the best shape of his life after recovering from all the physical torment from a years of being the "tough guy" on the field. This is when Farve decides to create an alter ego so he can regain NCAA eligibility, that alter ego is Jameis Winston. He joined Florida State as a Red Shirt Freshman. Eventually winning a Heisman and a National Championship, proving to himself that the old sack of potatoes has still got it. He then got drafted into the NFL with the rest being history.

    The only reason that no one has figured it out yet is the obvious physical differences between the two; Brett Farve is an old out of shape white guy, and Jameis is a young athletic black man. There's no way anyone would put two and two together, until I started investigating. 

Evidence

• Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together? Probably not. 

• They both were deemed to be the "funny guys" on their football teams, always making jokes.

• They've both played on multiple football teams 

• They're both first ballot Hall of Famers

• And lastly, they play the exact same style of football. Strong Arms and Interceptions. 

    Think about it, Brett Farve was know as the hard throwing guy who passed for multiple touchdowns, but he also threw a shit ton of interceptions. Sounds shockingly familiar to a QB who is constantly doing the same thing every week, Jameis Winston. Remember when Winston got Lasik surgery during the off season? I bet he (Farve) in his old age has been loosing his eye sight and decided he needed the surgery to stay competitive. 

Recap

    Brett Farve is still playing in the NFL under his alter ego Jameis Winston. He has broken NCAA eligibility rules by now playing for Southern Mississippi and now Florida State without notifying The NCAA of his transfer. He's essentially Batman, except instead of being a billionaire he owes $1.1 million to the State of Mississippi for fraudulent welfare funds.
