NBC Sports Preps Special on Grambling’s Robinson

Nov 8, 2007  •  Post A Comment

NBC Sports will air a 30-minute special on legendary Grambling State football coach Eddie Robinson before the Bayou Classic on Nov. 24. The program will air commercial-free through a sponsorship deal with State Farm.
“Every Man a Tiger: The Eddie Robinson Story” is narrated by actor Andre Braugher and includes interviews NBC had conducted with Coach Robinson since 1991. The film also features interviews with former Grambling players Doug Williams, Willie Davis and James Harris.
“We at NBC Sports have been honored, over the past 17 years, to be associated with Grambling University and the Bayou Classic and are thrilled to present this special film on Coach Robinson’s remarkable legacy,” said Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports and Olympics.
“Every Man a Tiger” is the second special this year produced by NBC Sports in conjunction with the Edison Project, the development arm of NBC Olympics in Stamford, Conn. The first was “Barbaro: A Nation’s Horse.”
