Open Letter to Season 3 Pros Vs. Joes Contestants

Dear Season 3 Pros Vs. Joes Contestants:

When we write about you, we will be cruel. But deep down, we love you guys. Love the confidence, love the heart. We note that in subsequent seasons, the shit-talking has gone down, perhaps because the contestants have watched the show enough to know that their chances of beating even a really old, beat up, ragged Pro is almost nil. (See: Derrick Coleman).

But even though we can't mock you as much as we mocked the Season 1 Joes, we still enjoy the show. We have problems with the format, sure. But if losing two Joes is what is needed to get to watch Jessie Armstead push around The Gurk, we'll live with it.

But Joes--let's be clear. You all are welcome to comment, more than welcome. But you should actually drop us an email, too. () I do believe all of the winners of Season 2 have at one point or another. We are looking to create a Council of Joes; we will ask all sorts of questions, and post the results here. Potential future questions include: Who should be our next President? What is up with the Shaq Trade? Who's a better college hoops team--Kansas or Memphis? We'd love your input on that kind of shit, and on PvJ as the episodes air.

We know that commenters who ID'ed themselves as Rahul and Faheem and Raloo have participated. But we don't really know that those commenters are definitely you. Drop a line. Join Rodney, The Z-Man, Mahlon, Jackson, and John from Season 2, who occasionally contribute here. We'll welcome you with open arms, and some mean one-liners. Like The Gurk is so stupid he sits on his TV and watches his couch. ZING!
