NFL UNDER THE HELMET FEATURES KURT WARNERS GREATEST PLAYS, "BACK IN THE
DAY" WITH BALTIMORES RAY LEWIS, AND ATLANTAS JAMAL ANDERSON TURNED
ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER
New York, December 13, 1999 St. Louis Rams quarterback KURT WARNER has thrown 34 touchdown passes this season, leading the Rams to their first NFC West division title since 1985. Now, fans can relive his greatest moments of 1999 on the next installment of NFL Under the Helmet, airing Saturday at noon on Fox. (Check local listings).
Warners highlights will be shown to Everlasts hit song, "Today." Warner, who came to the Rams following a record-setting stint in the NFL Europe League, is among the NFLs hottest players.
"We have to keep winning and cant let up," says Warner. "The recognition our team has gotten is nice, but what were looking for is the big prize at the end of the year."
From a streaking offensive star to a standout on the other side of the ball, NFL Under the Helmet goes "Back in the Day" with Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis.
Among the most ferocious tacklers in the game, Lewis describes his early days on the gridiron and how he scored his first touchdown of organized football.
"It was a high school game," says the Lakeland, Florida native. "I took a kickoff return back about 70 yards. As I got near the end zone, I saw my mother there waiting for me. Ill never forget that moment."
From high school to Hollywood, JAMAL ANDERSON of the Atlanta Falcons turns entertainment reporter for a day, as he sits down with actor TIM ALLEN.
The duo discusses football, show business and life in the spotlight.
NFL Under the Helmet airs every Saturday at noon eastern on FOX-TV. The show is hosted by RON PITTS and JILL ARRINGTON.
