THE MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLUB

This is definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my career as a writer – a football fantasy series co-sponsored by the NFL. Three football-crazy kids get hold of an old football jersey with an incredible power – it allows you to switch places with a real NFL player.

QUARTERBACK EXCHANGE: I WAS JOHN ELWAY

RUNNING BACK CONVERSION: I WAS BARRY SANDERS

SUPER BOWL SWITCH: I WAS DAN MARINO

HEAVY ARTILLERY: I WAS JUNIOR SEAU

ULTIMATE SCORING MACHINE: I WAS JERRY RICE

If all this sounds familiar, that’s because THE MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLUB was the basis for the Disney Channel TV series The Jersey.

PS: I got Super Bowl tickets that year. Very cool.
