Amazingly, Cowher said it was not a problem that I don't know anything about football. "They've heard all the football things. What can be more intriguing to them is what you do." So together we crafted a story from journalism, and then, with nothing but a dream, grit and a connection at the NFL Network, I went off to try my speech on famous football players...
