No alcoholic beverages. Never have been a drinker.
I don't really like watching Peyton Manning play. Ravens don't excite me either.
I think its a bad game for a season opener, especially considering all the people the Ravens lost on defense.
I'm sure the Figure Skating exhibition is on Lifetime

Figure skating might actually be more exciting than the "season opener".
Why not make Packers vs 9ers the Thursday night opener?
 
How can you NOT be on board for a Ravens @ Broncos game to open the season?

Makes me sick!!! I would've preferred him over Moss last year... For the veterans minimum I'm not sure why a team wouldn't take a chance...
 
Excited to see Pryor get the start. Hope he does ok.


Jets talking about eating the 8 mil they owe Sanchez :lol: one of the worst contracts of all time
 
Matt Flynn hasn't won a QB competition since HIGH SCHOOL :lol:

There can only be three good black QBs in the league at a time there's no hope for Pryor.

The story behind “A Football Life: LaDainian Tomlinson”

By James Weiner, NFL Films Producer/Director



When he played, he wore a dark visor and was known as the man with the mask. I was convinced there was a story there, if only I could get a good look inside.

My pitch to do my next “A Football Life” on LaDainian Tomlinson was initially met with skepticism. Tomlinson retired from the NFL just two summers ago. His record-breaking 31 touchdown MVP season was just 7 years ago. Finding a fresh angle would be a difficult task in this media age of multiple sports broadcast networks and hundreds more sports internet sites.

In my search for an untold story about LaDainian, I found a hidden gem 15 miles outside of Tomlinson’s hometown of Waco, Texas, in a place called Tomlinson Hill.

In my first conversation with LaDainian, I asked if he was willing to take my crew and me to Tomlinson Hill for the documentary. He agreed. At the time, neither of us knew what would happen there.

Before our trip, I watched the only visual material I could find on Tomlinson Hill, an award-winning documentary directed by Lisa Kaselak. One of the main interviews in the documentary is Chris Tomlinson.

Chris is white and a direct descendant of James K. Tomlinson. James K. owned LaDainian Tomlinson’s enslaved ancestors.

Chris is also an award-winning journalist who spent the bulk of his career in war zones and natural disasters in Africa and the Middle East. He has since returned to Texas to discover the truth about his family’s slave-owning history and to write about his findings. His book, Tomlinson Hill: Sons of Slaves, Sons of Slaveholders, is expected to be out Spring, 2014.

I asked LaDainian if I could invite Chris on our trip. He agreed. I then asked Chris if he was available to join us and willing to share with LaDainian what he uncovered. He was.




“A Football Life: LaDainian Tomlinson” premieres tonight, September 3rd at 9 pm ET.
