John Schuck stars as an ex-pro football player who has few prospects now that his career is over. He never was a starter or a star and he apparently bounced around from team to team. Now, he's hoping to make a change and wants to be a sportscaster, though he is hopelessly bad at it. When he comes to WJM looking for this job, Mary quickly realizes he's pretty pathetic. She reluctantly agrees to try coaching him, but still he just doesn't stand a chance. Can he manage, somehow, to find something he'll be good at for the rest of his life?
The notion of an ex-pro athlete struggling with post-sports life is interesting....though it's not really funny nor did it really seem to fit the format of this program. Not bad...but not all that good. A bit of a miss, in fact.
