In a lot of ways athletes who used to play for your favourite team are very similar to former high school flames.  Once you stop seeing them, you generally stop wondering what they're up to and just assume that they are still an awkward 17 year old kid.  Ok, maybe they're not as similar as I thought.

In any case, after he left the Argos I assumed that Andre Rison would write a book, or land a job in the Arena League or with the Oakland Raiders.  Unfortunately, I was wrong.  Instead Andre, along with Kordell Stewart, is promoting the next season of Spike TV's "Pros Vs. Joes".  Luckily for us, Spike invited deadspin.com to challenge Andre.  We highly recommend you spend a few minutes reading their account. 

Now I've got to admit that seeing Andre in a #80 jersey instead of his Argos #3 was a little hard to take... OK, maybe retired athletes and old flames are pretty similar.
