It's one thing to be one of greatest base stealers in MLB history and a fan favorite. It's another to fall from grace, struggle with drugs, addiction and public ridicule for your actions.

OTIS NIXON recovers "out loud", sharing his ups and downs, and how his recovery has fueled his desire to help kids who are facing touch challenges in their lives.

It's hard enough to face "Pudge" Rodriguez when trying to steal a base. It's quite another to face your demons openly and turn your experiences into a way to help others.

This is a very real and very uplifting episode of The Approach Shot.

PHIL SIMMS. You don't really have to say much beyond his name.

He's a fierce competitor, whether on the football field, on the golf course or in life. He's also funny as hell, tells some amazing stories (yes, a few Lawrence Taylor stories are mixed in here), and his love and respect for his teammates, coaches, Big Blue, his family and the college that will honor him by naming their stadium after him this fall (Morehead State).
