My Son -- Trying Out for the Iowa Barnstormers!

He's 6'-4" and weighs a "hundred and nothin'..." -- but Jimmy Small '08, AKA "Jimmy Football" is going to be at this Saturday's Iowa Barnstormers open tryouts -- looking to earn a roster spot on their Arena Football League team.

Now, trust me -- this former member of Notre Dame's Irish Guard has as much chance as a guy named RUDY of making a football team -- let alone the Barnstormers...

WAIT -- RUDY DID MAKE A TEAM!

You can see -- Jimmy (he's the President of NASCAR's Iowa Speedway) -- and the Iowa Barnstormers are having some fun with this!
