NFL STARS FACE OFF IN DUNK TANK COMPETITION DURING "LIVE" NICKELODEON BROADCAST

PRO BOWL PLAYERS LARRY FITZGERALD & EARL THOMAS III 
FACE BEING DUNKED LIVE
AT NICKELODEON'S INAUGURAL KIDS CHOICE SPORTS 2014 AWARDS SHOW
Thursday, July 17 @ 8pm (ET) on Nickelodeon


Often times you see dunk tanks at carnivals and school events as a fun event to raise money for a community organization.  I've had some fun in the past throwing pitches and scoring a bullseye to dunk a dreaded teacher, good guy city police chief, and a bow-tied judge in the tank.  Nickelodeon (Nick) is taking the dunk tank competition to the next level at its inaugural Kids Choice Sports Awards Show on Thursday, July 17, 2014. Two dunk tanks will be aligned across from one another and the people seated on them will attack each other's targets trying to be the first dunk the other in a dodge ball style throw down on live tv.  It won't just be two average joes facing off though, Nick will be pitting elite NFL players against each other as Larry Fitzgerald and Earl Thomas III face off during the VERIZON POWER DUNK.

If seeing NFL stars trying to dunk each other wasn't fun enough there is one more "catch" to this game...viewers get to decide what they will be dunked in.  Will it be Nick's trademark green slime?  a tank full of mud? or maybe maple syrup?  During the show the viewers can vote!  Just CLICK THIS LINK to visit the voting page on Nick's website during the Kids Choice Sports Awards Show to help determine which mess either Larry Fitzgerald or Earl Thomas III will get dunked into.  One player will emerge clean and victorious and the other will be submerged in who knows what kind of gooey mess.


Larry Fitzgerald is an 8 time Pro Bowl wide receiver.  In 2013, he became the youngest player in NFL history to reach 11,000 career receiving yards.


Earl Thomas III is a 3 time Pro Bowl free safety for the Super Bowl XLVIII winning Seattle Seahawks and is a member of that team's renowned "Legion of Boom."
