DESCRIPTION:
(from NBC's press release) Steve Levitan ("Frasier," "Just Shoot Me") creates a "Frasier"-esque show focusing on an arrogant, self-absorbed NFL superstar (much like Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character in "Jerry Maguire"), who's secretly nervous that the end of his career is nearing. He somehow manages his entourage -- which includes his white, overweight neighborhood buddy who feels more at home with blacks than whites – and the billionaire owner of the team, his female agent, and the only guy who can really put him in his place, his three-foot tall uncle. |
