• Football Saturdays Link

Charlotte, N.C. – Raycom Sports’ Emmy Award-winning
summer television series, “Havoline Football Saturdays in the South,”
continues this weekend. This is the third of six one-hour episodes,
hosted by Tim Brando and syndicated in 60 markets throughout the
greater southeast and Atlantic coast.

This weekend’s show features NFL Hall of Famer and Virginia Tech
star Bruce Smith. Learn about his humble beginnings at Booker T.
Washington High School in Norfolk, Virginia and how a chance meeting
during the summer of his sophomore year at VT changed his career. In
addition, learn how his excellence on the field has translated to
success as a real estate developer in Blacksburg.

Catch up with former NC State quarterback Roman Gabriel as he gives
back to his hometown of Wilmington, N.C. By redefining the quarterback
position with his size and strength, Gabriel set 22 school records for
the Wolfpack, and became a first round pick of the Oakland Raiders and
Los Angeles Rams at the same time. The 1969 NFL MVP, he also parlayed
his size into several roles on television and in the movies, including
sharing the screen with the legendary John Wayne.

After a turbulent couple of years, the Atlanta Falcons hoped for
some stability when they drafted Matt Ryan 3rd overall out of Boston
College in 2007. What they wound up getting was one of the best rookie
quarterbacks in NFL history. Nicknamed “Matty Ice,” Ryan became a
stabilizing force and led the Falcons to an improbable playoff berth.
Witness how Ryan’s steely determination put him on par with another BC
quarterback legend, and why he considers it important to dedicate time
to several Youth Clinics.

Finally, catch up with the Carolina Panthers’ leading tackler and
University of Miami product Jon Beason. In two short years, he has
become the heart of the Panthers defense. See how his strong group of
family and friends in South Florida, and the Hurricanes’ NFL alumni,
have continued to motivate him through his career thus far. And learn
how last season’s 12-4 record has left “The Beast” hungrier than ever.
