Brock Lesnar A Joke On ESPN
Brock Lesnar was featured several times on ESPN today on Sportscenter, Around The Horn, and Pardon The Interruption.
On Sportscenter, they mentioned the fact that Lesnar signed with the Vikings (which had already been reported on this website yesterday). On Around The Horn, the argument came up as to whether Brock Lesnar will be athletic enough to compete in the NFL.
Everybody on the show argued that Pro-Wrestling is not a sport, and he wouldn't be anything in the NFL, but Woody Paige stuck up for Lesnar and Pro-Wrestling, stating that guys have to be athletic enough to do the things they do in the ring. For anyone who watches the show they might find it funny that Jay Mariotti didn't know that the WWF is now the WWE.
Pardon The Interruption had a segment which was a debate whether Lesnar would have over or under 1 career sack in his NFL career (which they guessed would last one season).
Basically the overall feeling amongst many of the sports analysts and journalists at ESPN is that a pro-wrestler in the NFL is somewhat of a joke, and unless he proves himself people are going to continue to laugh at the fact that a pro-wrestler is playing in the NFL.
