If you channel surf any, I'm sure you have seen at least promos for the ABC show, Wipeout. The website for the show describes it as the "world's largest extreme obstacle course designed to provide the most spills, face plants and wipeouts ever seen on television."
Ellen DeGeneres recently invited her two favorite NFL offensive linemen, Ephraim Salaam (Detroit) and Chester Pitts (Houston) to go through the Wipeout obstacle course for her show. Imagine what she would have asked them to do if she didn't like them. (Painful hilarity ensues after the jump)
The big guys don't fare so well. I'm not sure any athlete in the NFL could do well in it because the course is meant to abuse people for our watching pleasure.
How is this not a violation of their player contracts? Maybe because it isn't specifically listed? "In the offseason, the party of the first part must not engage in any and all activities that will result in being punched in the face, racked by bouncing giant donuts, or getting brained slipping off of big red rubber balls."
