The Facts:
Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin is launching a reality TV show in which 12 “football neophytes” will compete for an impressive grand prize: A spot on the Cowboys’ training camp roster. The Cowboys confirmed that one of their 80 roster spots will go to the show’s winner.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The show, which doesn’t yet have a title, will air this spring on Spike; Irvin will host. ... As AP sports writer Jaime Aron noted, considering the Cowboys are coming off a disappointing season filled with all sorts of turmoil, adding a player more likely to be profiled in “People” than “Sports Illustrated” seems risky. It could be perceived as just another sideshow, like the cameras from HBO’s “Hard Knocks” that tracked the team in training camp last year. And of course, the Cowboys clearly need additional drama.
