some good work
nice video piece
2005-
His craft was once trading jabs with 300-pound defenders, protecting the quarterbacks behind him from 1982-1990 as a top-notch offensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints. And while football aficionados often cite the creative genius of an essentially brutish game, even in his playing days Brad Edelman had the heart and vision of an artist, despite it being covered in a mountain of protective gear.
No longer the hulking subject of the long-lensed cameramen who roam NFL sidelines,
Edelman has developed into one of the area’s most admired photographers since his retirement from the gridiron. He now employs those same over-sized hands and the keen attention to detail that served him so well as a Pro Bowl guard for the Saints in an irrefutable artistic endeavor: Creating lasting images with fine photography.
Edelman is now a fixture in the fine-arts scene in New Orleans, with two high-end gallery shows in as many years. His latest effort, Tableau d’un Histoire, lovingly captures the lifestyle and Barracks Street residence of George Valentine Dureau, the noted artist, photographer and Crescent City aristocrat. That Portfolio is currently hanging in the ultra-chic Aldridge-Leatherman Galerie des Arts in Exchange Alley.
“I wasn’t interested in shooting George as a baggy pants comedian” said Edelman. “I wanted to shoot the George that no one sees.”
Dureau and his fashionable nest have been photographed before, but it was always with contrived poses or simple images of the artist’s famous canvasses. Edelman took a more inspired approach to the opportunity and came away with another admirer.
“Brad caught me and the place undressed, so to speak, said Dureau. “And he shot it from way up in the air that no one else, including me, would ever conceive. Brad is a physical, poetic genius with that camera.”
Physical indeed, Edelman stands well over 6-feet tall. Admired not only for his artistic talent, but also for his sheer size, he played the Giant in a Contemporary Arts Center production of “Jack and the Beanstalk.”

tough one, Hill on merit
John S. Hill was an All-American center on Lehigh's football team in 1971. The following spring he graduated with his bachelors in engineering and was selected by the New York Giants in the sixth round of the 1972 NFL draft. In 1975, he joined the New Orleans Saints organization where he played starting center and tackle until 1984. Hill finished his career with the San Francisco 49ers in 1985. He was honored for his impressive career with the Saints in 1992 when he was inducted into the organization's Hall of Fame. He spent nine seasons as starting center and four seasons as co-captain with the Saints.
In 2006, Hill was inducted into the Saints' All-40th Anniversary Team.
2010 where are they now story
He considers himself one of the lucky ones, being able to literally walk away from the game with no lingering injuries or other long-term health issues.
Hill, who runs an insurance agency in Raleigh, N.C., has little desire to see his squad win in person. He'll stay home to watch, thank you.
''I get asked [about going] a lot,'' he admitted. ''I was a player and now I'm a fan, but not a go-to-the-game fan. It's nice to watch it on TV and have the commentary and instant replay and enjoy it that way.''

The Green Bay Packers named Jerry Fontenot tight ends coach on February 13, 2012.
Fontenot will be entering his seventh season on Green Bay’s coaching staff in 2012, having tutored the team’s running backs this past season. He served as assistant offensive line coach from 2007-10 and as offensive assistant in 2006. In 2011, Fontenot tutored second-year RB James Starks (578 yards) and veteran RB Ryan Grant (559) as they became the first Packers tandem to each rush for 550-plus yards in a season since Edgar Bennett and Dorsey Levens did so in 1996. Also under Fontenot’s direction in 2011, John Kuhn became the first Green Bay fullback to be selected to the Pro Bowl since William Henderson in 2004. Fontenot played center in the NFL for 16 seasons with three different teams (Chicago, 1989-96; New Orleans, 1997-2003; Cincinnati, 2004).
2011 SEASON BIO:
Began his tenure in Green Bay as a coaching intern in the summer of 2006 and remained with the team throughout the season to assist with the offensive line; elevated to full-time status as assistant offensive line coach, Jan. 15, 2007, and then promoted again to running backs coach on Feb. 25, 2011.
Enters his 22nd year in the National Football League.
A longtime center, played 239 NFL games with the Bears, Saints and Bengals from 1989-2004, proving to be extremely durable as a player. Originally a third-round draft choice by Chicago in 1989, began a starting streak of 106 games in 1991, then authored a streak of 80 straight starts from 1999-2003.
Started at center during Mike McCarthy’s five years as New Orleans offensive coordinator (2000-04).
Played every position on the offensive line at Texas A&M, twice earning honorable mention All-American.
Born in Lafayette, La., Fontenot was a four-sport star at Lafayette High School, earning all-state honors twice in football, finishing as state runner-up twice in the discus, and winning a state championship in baseball.

Nice story didn't know this about Edelman.
Saw him a few times in restaurants during his playing days a real gent one of my all time favorite Saints.
