Apollo Creed and Strahan to star in new sitcom

I don't know how many people are up on this, but Fox picked up the new show "Brothers" to air at 8pm ET this fall. Starring Michael Strahan and Carl Weathers "Apollo Creed". The Fox people believe Strahan is a "natural" talent and loved the pilot. Why it might work; Strahan has that quirkiness and that signature Walrus smile that may endear people. If the show turns out to be macho men whom are put in awkward situations then hey, maybe it works. Strahan's character is a retired footballer and Weathers is to play his father so who knows. I will watch to give a chance. However, an executive saying he is a natural is the kiss of death. If anyone knows anything it is not the network executives whom are so far removed from talent they would be impressed at a sock puppet show. Not saying Strahan may be great, but let's hope Fox knows comedy still. I just hope this isn't another case of an ex-athlete trying to hold on to the limelight so hard he winds up making a joke of himself. He has done well on sports talk/news shows so I hope it translates to the sitcom.
