The document proposes a TV show called "Who Are They Now?" that would feature former professional athletes who did not have sustained careers and are now working regular jobs. The first episode would profile Darryl Hardy, a former NFL linebacker now working in a factory who would be given a second chance to work for the Dallas Cowboys. The show aims to reconnect these ex-athletes with their former teams/organizations and provide them career opportunities, while also entertaining audiences and generating revenue from advertisers and networks like ESPN or Fox.
