A life revolving around football

Editor's note: The NFL playoffs are fast approaching, and to help China Daily readers get a grip on what is happening, popular analyst Ron Jaworski, who played 17 years in the NFL and earned All-Pro honors and a Super Bowl berth with the Philadelphia Eagles, will provide insight into this crucial part of the exciting sport. Jaworski, who works for ESPN and has his own radio shows, introduces himself to his new audience today.
