My celebrity football team

So I was taking a trip recently with a few guys. As with any long road trip with me along random questions tend to come out. One of my favorites was if you could make a football team with non football players who would you put on your team. You must have a quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end. To my choices.

My choice for quarterback got a lot of flack and a few laughs. I decided to go with Jason Kidd. He is a smart basketball player which made me think that his smarts would carry over onto the football field. I’ve never seen him throw a football but seeing him throw a basketball makes me want him on my team. http://espn.go.com/magazine/vol5no11freaks.html

For my running backs I decided to go with Josh Duhamel http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0241049/ and Jim Riggs. For those that don't know Mr. Riggs, he runs the horse stables at the camp I work with. One of my favorite memories of Mr. Riggs was when he decided to chase a counselor wearing a giant dinosaur costume through our dining hall with a pitch fork. Keep in mind the dining hall was filled with about 150 campers. For entertainment alone I am picking him.

My two receivers are Will Smith and Michael Phelps. I picked Michael Phelps because well....he's Michael Phelps. Not sure why I picked Will Smith. I know they were movies but seeming him box in Ali and save the universe in about 3 different movies made me think he could catch a ball over the middle.

I went with Tyler "Psycho T" Hansbourgh for my tight end.
Reason #1. I would pay good money to see this.
Reason #2: He's a beast.

These are my picks and whether they are good or not I would love to hear some feedback on them.
