![]() I wanted to just start creating the projects so people can say, oh, OK, he does know what he’s doing.ĭo you often take lessons and experience from your football career and apply them to your acting career? I wasn’t just coming out of Yale or Juilliard. It’s an identity crisis, like, do I have any more things to look forward to in life? All the traumatic things you tell yourself. You go through this period of soul-searching when you finish doing something that you’ve done for the last 20-something years of your life. While I was still in the N.F.L., but I didn’t make the decision until probably a year after. player when you got bit by that bug, or was this after your career? I didn’t know that it was necessarily going to be producing, but I knew I wanted to go into acting. ![]() Because the love you have for it is what will sustain and lead you. When I finished playing, the advice I kept getting from former players was find something to do that you are absolutely in love with. I was just obsessed with movies and television growing up. These are edited excerpts from the conversation. He spoke recently via video about making the transition from football to acting, preparing for “Sylvie’s Love” (directed by Eugene Ashe) and the unexpected experience of appearing on Broadway. “You can’t help what you fall in love with, and I fell in love with acting.” It’s “mind-boggling that I would even want to go from one career where you’re under such a microscope in an extreme way to another career where the microscope might even be bigger,” Asomugha said. with a tough schedule to follow (NYJ, Patsies, Hou), it is a critical game.But before acting and producing, Asomugha was considered one of the best cornerbacks in the National Football League, playing 11 seasons for the Oakland Raiders and other teams before retiring in 2013. a hated divisional opponent (read: Donkeys) is sweet.īig game Buffalo. 1-0 feels good, bro! 11:43 PM Calico Jack said.Ī "W" on the road, to open the season, on MNF, vs. That Denver appointed Shmonk Shmirnoff QB was a gift from God, what a joke! But that's on them. Lechler for freaking 77 (gross), tying the Raiders record set in the early '60s. Jano for 63, tying Tom Dempsey's 1970 effort for best in the NFL. Raider Mike exactly right on the Seymour comment 5:46 PM Tooz 72 said.ĬJ, apologesas for falling off the "raidar" screen. With all of Nnamdi's talents, that kind of leadership is not one of them.īest wishes to Nnam, though i Hate the eagles, but good fortunes to the raiders in 2011. Seymour is not only one of the best at his position, but he is a leader who has made his colleagues better, Kelly, Houston and Shaughnessy, among others, have lifted their games to new levels under the tutelage of Seymour. frankly, I thank Al most for keeping big Richard and understand why he let Nnam go. Nonetheless, we will survive without him, he is a phenominal CB, but he was not a leader on the team, the defensive leaders are Seymour and McClain. Nnam is a great person and professional, and I was proud to have him in the silver and black, and I was disappointed to lose him after all that Al did for him - but, it is about the money, it is always about the money. Al found and developed Nnam, just like Woodson, and he will find another. I am sad to see Nnam leave, but it was obvious he would. ![]() He picked Philly because he felt it was a SB contender. It is highly conceivable that it was a mutual decision by Nnamdi and the Raiders that they would part ways.Īs far as Nnamdi signing for $12M per season. It was as clear as day when we signed Routt, Seymour, Wimbley, and Henderson to extensions WAY beyond market value in Feb. Unless Nnamdi specifically told the Raiders he was not coming back under any circumstances it seems the Raiders miscalculatedįlorida Raider 9:28 PM Calico Jack said. I am perplexed by the fact that Al gave Rout 20 mm guaranteed when for an extra 5 he could have retained Nnamdi? He is certainly worth the extra 5. I thought he would be getting at least 15 million per year and over 30 guaranteed. Were you not shocked by how inexpensive Nnamdi was relative to other cb out there. Im not focused on the Eagles, the Raiders need to sign Cromartie or any talented corner if they dont want their defense to be ranked near the leagues worst. And am not happy Nnamdi is playing for them. If Nnamdi was going to leave I would of rather seem him in Dallas playing for Jerry Jones. I live near philly so I guess thats why I am pretty angry.
