It appears that San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson and EliteXC fighter Kimbo Slice may have more in common than just working out together in this video:
Tomlinson and Kimbo could also both have their competitions called by Gus Johnson during the first weekend in October.
Johnson is a well respected broadcaster, and mixed martial arts fans were thrilled when he signed on to call the CBS EliteXC shows. But there's been some hand-wringing among MMA fans over whether Johnson would be able to call Kimbo's October 4 fight because Johnson also does NFL play-by-play, and it would make for tough scheduling to do an MMA show Saturday night and then a football game Sunday afternoon.
But Johnson might just give it a try. A source at CBS told me today that they're hoping Johnson will be able to do the EliteXC show (which is in Hollywood, Florida), get to the hotel for a few hours of sleep and and then get up to work the Chargers-Dolphins game in Miami at 1 p.m. the next day.
That would be a rough weekend for Johnson, but I hope he does it. His enthusiasm is a treat to hear, in any sport.
