When the Clock Runs Out : 20 NFL Greats Share Their Stories of Hardship and Triumph

In When the Clock Runs Out, twenty talented NFL players share their private, inspiring stories of football, retirement, and adjustment. Pat Summerall candidly discusses his battle with alcoholism and his triumphant victory over addiction. Dan Reeves takes us on a harrowing journey through heart surgery and an improbable Super Bowl appearance. Thomas "Hollywood' Henderson describes his descent into drug addiction and his soul-cleansing climb to sobriety. These men and other NFL greats are proof of the hold that football can have over a player. They have given themselves heart and soul to the sport, and their lives have been changes because of it. As these stories make clear, football continues to influence them, long after they have removed their helmets and left the playing field for the last time.

Cynthia Zordich...A freelance sideline photographer, she purposely takes her camera away from the football field and into those places overlooked by other photographers. Her specialty is the candid portrait and so it is the people who play the game rather than the game itself that intrigues her. A graduate of Penn State University, Cynthia knows exactly how the players feel- she is married to twelve-year veteran safety Michael Zordich. They have two sons (Michael Vincent and Alex) and a daughter (Aidan).
