Considering the current National Football League scandals, this is a disturbing, TIMELY story. Sam Dann's story here could be a work of non fiction.

Shade Ford

"License to kill" my favorite episode.

Fred Gwynne's role as the coach is not hard to fathom.... great episode, as are many with him.

Howard L.

Gwynne is great in this episode.

Scott Huffman

Toxic masculinity literally run amok.
