Terry Kirby Granting the Wishes of Many Sports Fans

↵↵Have you ever read something from Gregg Doyel and thought, “Wow, I really would like someone to punch him in the face”? Fear not, for ex-NFL running back Terry Kirby is here to make your wildest dreams come true.↵

↵↵Doyel will be part of Celebrity Toughman Challenge, which will put on a few Pros vs. Joes fights for the sake of charity. The highlight for any sports journalism reading fan has to be the fight between Doyel and Kirby, but here’s the full slate:↵

↵↵⇥ Bennie Blades vs Joe Rose ↵⇥
↵⇥Jeff Cross vs Kim Bokamper ↵⇥
↵⇥Terry Kirby vs Gregg Doyel ↵⇥
↵⇥Mark Duper vs Brian Blades↵↵↵There’s also some sort of golf tournament and after party but let’s not lose focus on the important part here: an NFL player will be punching Gregg Doyel. If you’ve ever read the comment sections on his articles, you’ll know this an event many readers would love to participate in firsthand. He’s the kind of divisive sports writing figure that, if he was willing to take regular beatings like this one, could probably support a rather large charitable organization all on his own.↵
