Cam is my favorite all time Panther and I wish him nothing but the best in all of his media ventures but reality TV and sports talk /podcasts just ain't it for me. 

Honestly, it's a pretty good show, probably even more so for anyone with a military background.

The celebrities who take part tend to get their asses kicked.

Hell, I don't even have network television. LOL

I stream sports and that's my only exposure to network television

That was a good watch.

It's a fun show. Lady Cowboy Fan and I have been watching from the start.

This is, I think, their third season. They've had a lot of former athletes on from the NFL (Danny Amendola was on the last one) NBA and others, but they haven't won. The winners of the first two seasons included one women's soccer star (Carli Lloyd) and some reality show personalities, mostly from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

The physical challenges are certainly tough, especially on some of the older folks, but what tends to derail people is the mental side of it. Some can't keep their attitudes under control, others just tap out. Many are doing the show because they have demons to deal with, and you see a lot of that come out.

You definitely can't assume you know who will succeed and who won't either. Last year, Dez Bryant flamed out in spectacular fashion while Jojo Siwa actually went much further than I'd have thought. 

And as you might expect, you come away from it with a real appreciation for just how badass some of these special forces guys really are.

Re: Cam

As you could probably guess, his personality didn't initially mesh well with the no-nonsense special forces guys, but they respected his performance in the challenges and he's been a good "teammate" to some of the others on the show.

FYI: Also appearing this season is Golden Tate, who per his own words seems to be kind of lost in his post football life.

After completing a challenge, Newton went to give Tate a high-five and somehow inexplicably wound up punching him in the stomach 😳

That incident got him yelled at. The leaders further followed that up by punishing the entire crew with an exercise that I can best describe by saying...imagine waterboarding yourself.

      2025 College Football Thread

      I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
