Former NFL player Davis Sanchez is a straight shooter who admires Barack Obama and the writings of Eckhart Tolle, but regrets his own peripatetic career
as a player was two playoff-less seasons as a defensive back with the San Diego Chargers in the early 2000s. But now, as one of TSN’s analysts for Sunday’s matchup between Philadelphia and Kansas City, The Delta, B.C., native will get more than his fair share of the biggest game in pro football, with the network beginning its coverage from Arizona’s State Farm Stadium 8½ hours before opening kickoff.

My mother made scrapbooks growing up, so I have three scrapbooks that basically have pictures of every birthday party I had as a kid. She documented my whole [childhood] and she did the same thing with sports, so every newspaper article I ever had, or every team I was ever on she had the team picture there with who was on the team from right to left.
