Summary:
In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness, Ted Jackson encountered a half-naked drug addict sleeping under a bridge. That chance meeting was the start of Ted's thirty-year relationship with Jackie Wallace, a former NFL star who rose to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, only to crash and lose it all. Ted chronicles Jackie's life from his teenage years in New Orleans through college and the NFL to the end of his pro career and the untimely death of his mother, devastating events that led him into addiction and homelessness.
