NFL TAKES ON TEANECK
Just in time for the spring thaw things are starting to get busy on the gridiron.
Well, sort of anyway! On Saturday night current and former players of the NFL lined up against the best
that Teaneck had to offer. NFL players such as Tiquan Underwood, Jason McCourty, Manny Collins,
Taj Smith , Zamir Cobb Joe Porter and Waliyy Dixon gathered on the hardwood of Teaneck high
school to play a lot of basketball and raise funds for a great cause!
Now we know that round ball never gets reported here at Footballshooters but a lot of folks enjoy seeing
just how well football players do when transplanted to another sport.
Saturday's event couldn't have come
at a better time. With so many cuts in
educational funding, schools can use
all the help they can get. That's where
former NFL player Lonnie Allgood and
his organization, Dreams For Kids,
comes in. Mr Allgood is an excellent
motivational speaker with a keen
interest in building student character
and self esteem.
Self respect as well as respect for
others are also pretty high on Mr
Allgood's list of priorities, especially
with so many cuts to character building
programs throughout the region.
After a series of one quarter games interspersed with entertainment from
D.J. Matt and Teaneck's very own Terpsichoreans, It was time for the main
event: The NFL players Vs Teaneck's Police and Fire Departments. There
was a healthy dose of good natured competitiveness on both sides of the
court. The game was so good and captivating that no one seemed to care
what the final score was. This is probably because when the smoke cleared
it was evident that everyone was a winner, especially the students !

For Teaneck's local schools, the week preceding the
event was chock full of visits to help them positively
address hot topics like bullying, drugs and alcohol. So
Saturday's game was a great chance to raise some
funds for those cut programs and judging by what we
saw everyone had a great time while doing so. The
event, which was sponsored in part by Otterstedt
Insurance, seems to have been a success with the
gym nearly being full to capacity. Many of the town's
youth couldn't wait to get an autograph from the NFL
players who attended. Additionally, many of Teaneck's
