FROM KEITH GROLLER
The NFL Network will air its latest in the "A Football Life" series next week and this one will have special interest around here since it will feature the career and life of Whitehall and Penn State product Matt Millen.
It includes an interview with his former Whitehall High coach Andy Melosky.
The show debuts at 9 p.m. Tuesday on the The NFL Network and will likely have additional airings.
Also, you don't want to miss a special show entitled "Villanova Greatness Past and Present." It features what took place last night at the SteelStacks, a fundraiser for the Christmas City Classic high school basketball event that annually honors the memory of George Yasso and Todd Rothrock.
The presentation features a 30-minute Q-and-A with former Liberty High star and current Villanova standout Darrun Hilliard. I participated in the Q-and-A on stage with Mike Zambelli and Liberty coach Chad Landis.
That was followed by a very interesting, entertaining hour-long discussion on the 1985 Villanova national championship victory. Longtime Sports Illustrated writer and noted author Jack McCallum led the discussion with four former players and those four were very impressive speakers as they recounted that magical night when Villanova almost couldn't miss in knocking off a heavily-favored Georgetown team in Lexington, Ky.
It was well done
That show will air on Service Electric TV2 at 8 p.m. Tuesday and again at 9:30 on Wednesday night.
Finally, PBS39 will have a repeat showing of its Emmy-nominated documentary "Football Legends of Pennsylvania" at 9 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13. The documentary is based on the critically-acclaimed book written by local sports historian Evan Burian and features interviews with Chuck Bednarik, Andre Reed and other Keystone State football legends.
