Moving Forward Through the Flaming Doors

What's the right course of action for a franchise that revels in finding new ways to rip the collective heart out of its fanbase year after year after year?

Get a new head-coach?

Stage a coup to run the owner/general manager/Skeletor out of town on a rail?
Stop bringing in players whose character would cause Charles Manson to blush?

Nope.

You start giving away training camp roster spots to reality-show winners.

The first time Michael Irvin watched "American Idol," he loved the concept of giving undiscovered singers the chance to become stars. Now Irvin is doing the same for NFL wannabes.

The Hall of Fame wide receiver is launching a reality TV show in which 12 "football neophytes" will compete for an impressive grand prize: a spot on the Dallas Cowboys' training-camp roster.

The Cowboys confirmed that one of their 80 roster spots will go to the show's winner. The NFL did not immediately return a call.

Hmmmm, the NFL didn't immediately return the call?

I wonder why?

Oh, yes. Roger Goodell is currently plotting the murders of Jerry Jones and Michael Irvin.
