Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun says he has been contacted by “The Bachelor” and asked to be on the show.
Apparently not worried about needing help finding love, or simply eager
to maintain some self-respect, Braun said thanks, but no thanks to the
show.
The conversation with ABC executives probably didn’t go like this, but I sure wish it had.
Maybe Braun is holding out for a better show, like “Survivor.” Or
maybe he wants some name branding: “Ryan of Love?” “The Hills of
Milwaukee?”
This whole story got me to thinking about some shows I might watch
if they featured baseball players. And no, I didn’t catch Jose Canseco
in “The Surreal Life.” Here are a few …
“The Biggest Loser”, featuring CC Sabathia, Carlos Silva and David Wells.
“My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss,” with Joe Girardi.
And “Fear Factor,” starring this Japanese pitcher.
What do you think?
