16Th ANNUAL 'RUN RICH RUN' to BENEFIT ST. JUDE CHILDREN's RESEARCH HOSPITAL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Alex Riethmiller – 310.840.4635 NFL – 2/25/20 [email protected] 16th ANNUAL ‘RUN RICH RUN’ TO BENEFIT ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL Fans encouraged to join NFL Network and NFL PLAY 60 in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by sharing a video of their best ‘40-Yard Dash’ It’s once again that time of year where NFL Network and DIRECTV AUDIENCE Network personality Rich Eisen returns to Indianapolis to cap off coverage of the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, Presented by Verizon with his signature 40-yard dash for the “Run Rich Run” charitable campaign for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. Eisen’s display of athletic prowess in a suit, tie and Nike cleats has served as a fitting conclusion to NFL Network’s coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine since 2004 and has helped raise nearly $1.2 million for St. Jude in the battle against childhood cancer and other life- threatening diseases. “Run Rich Run” has been embraced by NFL fans, players and team personnel, providing a charitable opportunity to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.® With the 2020 campaign being officially announced on “The Rich Eisen Show,” Eisen has been deep in training in his quest to best last year’s time of 6.00 seconds. When it’s time for the main event, St. Jude patient Von, who currently resides in Indiana, will be on hand to give Eisen a pre-race pep talk prior to his 16th all-time run. “It’s an honor to run on behalf of St Jude,” said Eisen. “While my 40 time over the past 15 years may not necessarily decrease, it’s incredibly rewarding to see the amount raised for St. Jude increase each year to help kids like Von. Our NFL community – fans, players, and coaches – are an extremely generous group, and I appreciate the support they continue to provide to this important cause.” Eisen’s 40-yard dash will air within NFL Network’s final day of coverage from the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, Presented by Verizon on Sunday, March 1. Since 2012, the NFL has partnered with St. Jude through NFL PLAY 60, which is the “Official Champion of Play” at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. As the League’s national youth health and wellness campaign encouraging youth to get physically active for 60 minutes a day, the NFL PLAY 60 initiative helps patients and families at St. Jude cope with serious illnesses through play therapy, peer interaction and other activities. “The NFL has once again raised the bar of philanthropic giving by providing this tremendous platform for our friend Rich to share his heartfelt dedication to create awareness and raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “His purpose is clear. Rich is a role model for standing up for a cause in which he believes, yard-after-yard and year-after-year. The kids and families at St. Jude will be watching closely as Rich runs the 40-yard dash and spreads the message of our founder, Danny Thomas that no child should die in the dawn of life.” NFL Network and the NFL Foundation have combined for a donation of $50,000 to the cause. Courtyard by Marriott has also generously pledged a donation to help support St. Jude. As the Official Champion of Play at St. Jude, NFL PLAY 60 has pledged to support the needs of its Child Life program, which helps children cope with the stress of their illness through therapeutic play and other activities, promoting development, self-expression and peer interaction among other benefits. Child Life is an integral part of the medical team at St. Jude and is visible in every clinical arena from patient care to program development.

  • Before Starting College Career, Broncos' Devontae Jackson Had
    O’Halloran: Before starting college career, Broncos’ Devontae Jackson had another type of job By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post June 24, 2019 Jackson’s first trip to Colorado was for rookie minicamp and during organized team activities. Unable to post test scores good enough to accept a Division I offer, Broncos rookie running back Devontae Jackson had a different type of freshman year in 2014. From 10 a.m.-1 a.m., he worked at a restaurant in Georgia. He wasn’t in school and wasn’t playing football, but refused to drown himself in self-pity. “It was tough,” Jackson said earlier this spring. “But every time I got off from work, I would go straight to the weight room and train. I just made sure I continued to work while I wasn’t able to be on the field. “The love of football was always there. I just wanted to get back on the field.” And Jackson did in 2015, starting a four-year career at Division II West Georgia that included rushing years of 1,057, 487, 1,175 and 1,320 yards and a contract with the Broncos. “My first couple offers were D-1, but I didn’t get my scores in time,” Jackson said. “West Georgia, through the process, made sure I was straight because they really wanted me. They stayed with me.” Listed at 5-foot-7 (tied with running back Khalfani Muhammad for shortest on the Broncos) and 170 pounds (lightest on the team), Jackson figures to get plenty of carries during the five-game preseason schedule.

In his eleven years as a national television sportscaster, Rich Eisen has been envious of those athletes because Rich Eisen has never been able to do that on his job, so the host of NFL Network decided to write a book and use it as an admittedly feeble excuse to go third-person on everybody. Not throughout the whole book, of course. That may get quite exhausting for the reader. But for an entire book jacket? Well, Rich Eisen was all over that. That's the why behind this book. As for the how, Rich Eisen just took it one sentence at a time and hoped for the best. You know, start with a few words and turn those words into sentences which turned into paragraphs and chapters and, eventually, into this book. One day, when it's all over, only then will Rich Eisen look back on his career and try to put it all in perspective, but right now Rich Eisen absolutely knows he would not be where he is today without his spell-check.
