Millions of boys dream of playing in the National Football League. Few will realize that dream.
At the age of 43, sports journalist Stefan Fatsis finally got a chance to kick it with the big boys. He talks about his experience with the Denver Broncos and how being a player in the NFL is much different than watching it on TV as a fan.
Fatsis' book on his experience is entitled, A Few Seconds of Panic: A 5-Foot-8, 170-Pound, 43-Year-Old Sportswriter Plays in the NFL.
