Sports Editors/Football Writers & Columnists

ADVISORY...for Tuesday Tuesday: see week.  (March 20)

--(BW SportsWire)

Tuesday, March 20, at Ladera Park

WHO:      -- 1994 NFL Hall of Fame inductee Tony Dorsett, who played
             in two Super Bowls, five NFC championship games and four
             Pro Bowls as well as being the NFC rushing champion in
             1982 and winning the Heisman Trophy in 1976.
          -- His son Anthony Dorsett, No. 33 and strong safety for the
             Oakland Raiders, one of the top special teams players in
             the NFL. Anthony was the starting safety in Super Bowl
             XXXIV and played the safety position and on special teams
             for the AFC Champion Tennessee Titans.

WHAT:     Guest-star in an episode of Disney Channel's original sports
          series "The Jersey." The episode featuring Tony and Anthony
          Dorsett tapes Tuesday at Ladera Park in Inglewood, Calif.

          In "Basketball Diaries," the jersey jumps Coleman into
          Anthony Dorsett to show him how to reconnect with his busy
          father. Coleman feels his seemingly standoffish dad wouldn't
          like "Slaw," the cool, funny guy he is when he's away from
          home. Although Coleman/Anthony loses intense games of one-
          on-one and HORSE with Tony Dorsett, he realizes it is
          possible to have a better relationship with his dad. Not
          only can Coleman be himself around his dad, he also can have
          fun with him on the court at the Lighter Than Air Parent/Kid
          Basketball Tournament as well as off.

          In Disney Channel's original sports series "The Jersey," a
          tired old football jersey is passed down to Nick from his
          deceased grandfather, but this is much more than your
          ordinary jersey -- it's a magical portal into the world of
          sports. Astonishingly, its wearer is transported off the
          couch, onto the field and into the cleats, shoes or skates
          of sports heroes.

WHEN:     Tuesday, March 20
          9 a.m. to noon

WHERE:    Ladera Park
          Ladera Park Avenue
          Inglewood, Calif.
