Show consisted of teaming a noted intellect with an accomplished athlete. The intellect answered questions to score points in the first half of the show and the athlete showed his skills (passing, throwing,kicking field goals, etc ) in the second half of the show. I remember many pro athletes and college athletes competing in various skills categories. For example field goal kickers kicked from increasing distances down the field until one of them missed. Kind of like the last man standing. Pitchers would throw at certain targets for accuracy. The intellects would be matched within certain fields of knowledge and answer various questions within their field.
