Anyone else watch this show? It airs 9/11PM Monday nights on the Travel Channel.

Former Michigan star and current NY Giant linebacker Dhani Jones spends a week in different countries, trying out the local food/attractions/etc. and playing their sport. He's a pretty intelligent and funny guy, and of course he's absolutely ripped.

So far he's done Sambo, Muay Thai, Schwingen, Pelota and a few others, and the show just got picked up for a second season. If you ever wondered how an NFL player would do in rugby, here's your chance to see.

What I don't get it how the team allows him to do this stuff.

Yeah, I actually started watching it during commercial breaks for the Daily Show.

Not sure, but it's still fun to see a physical freak compete at other sports. I don't think any MMA fighters are as physically gifted as NFL linebackers, besides Lesnar.
