Something along the lines of "American Idle," were there such a thing, might sound more fitting for a middle-aged, recent retiree.

Maybe even a spin on "Dancing with the Ex-Coaching Stars" or "Survivor: Latrobe."

That wouldn't be Bill Cowher's reality-television style, though.

He apparently prefers left turns, 150-mph speeds and a new-fangled, ABC summertime series called "Fast Cars and Superstars: Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race," and we're not making that up.

Barely two months off the Steelers' job, this 15-year head coach and soon-to-be CBS studio analyst went out last week and filmed seven made-for-reality-TV episodes that required him to dress in a blue racing uniform, squeeze into a stock car and vroom-vroom around Lowe's Motor Speedway near Charlotte, N.C.

By contrast, foaming over the Joey Porters of the NFL world seemed appreciably easier, if not safer, right?
