More than one ring on lineman's mind
Colorado Crush lineman Kyle Moore-Brown has an immediate goal, and that is to win a second consecutive Arena Football League championship. But Moore-Brown, who has started in an AFL-record 192 consecutive games, already has given thought to a new career when his football days are over.
Professional wrestling.
Don't giggle. One day, you might see the beefy tag-team combo of Moore-Brown and former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Gilbert Brown on television. The two are close friends -- so close that when Brown's father died, Moore-Brown adopted the family's last name as a tribute to the man he considered to be his father figure.
Moore-Brown and Brown also were teammates at the University of Kansas.
"He's a big, big wresting fan," Moore-Brown said. "He did it once, with (late NFL Hall of Famer) Reggie White.
"He asked me, 'What would you do if I wanted to do a tag-team?' I said, 'I'll do it -- if it's entertainment, let's do it.' But I know I'm not going to be without my shirt on. Whatever I'm going to do, it's going to be with some shirts and some pants. They've got that spandex thing going. I said two big guys like us won't look good like that."
