BEVERLY HILLS http://www.tennesseetitansteamonline.com/amani-hooker-jersey , Calif. (AP) — on his high school days living between two worlds for his first major Hollywood project.Paysinger grew up in economically depressed South Los Angeles, but he attended Beverly Hills High School, where he captained the football team in the wealthy enclave. The culture shock he experienced is the basis for “All American,” debuting Oct. 10 on the CW.“I definitely had a gang influence with friends and family growing up in South Central, and people might think that Beverly Hills definitely shielded me from some problems. But in actuality, it only opened up a whole new can of worms,” Paysinger told a TV critics’ meeting on Monday.“Just dealing with kids with affluence, kids with drug problems and having their parents not be there for weeks on end because they’re vacationing or they’re doing big business. Just dealing with that contrast was probably the biggest thing that I had to go through.”Paysinger commuted daily to high school as part of a program that brought students from other areas to Beverly Hills, where he had two uncles and an aunt who coached and taught there.Spencer eventually attended the University of Oregon and won a Super Bowl title with the New York Giants, one of four NFL teams he played for before achieving his goal of retiring from the league no later than age 30.The series shoots in some of Paysinger’s old haunts in South L.A., like a local park and the barbershop he has patronized since he was a kid.“South Central’s been portrayed so many different ways in the media for however long,” Paysinger said. “But with this show, I definitely want to implant that family aspect of the community.”Producers hired a consulting firm that designs all of the football plays in the show, and consulting producer Paysinger wants to make sure the action is authentic.“I don’t want friends, I don’t want family texting Taylor Rapp Jersey , emailing me saying, ‘That’s not it. They couldn’t have converted on that,’ ” he said.Paysinger isn’t the only one with pro sports ties involved in the show. One of the writers is Jon Alston, who played five years in the NFL, and retired Major League Soccer player Robbie Rogers is a producer. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — For the second straight year, two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning is heading into an offseason with an uncertain future as New York Giants quarterback.The Giants (5-10) are going to miss the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years. Many are wondering whether general manager Dave Gettleman and coach Dave Shurmur will be looking for a more mobile quarterback to replace the soon-to-be 38-year-old Manning.The Giants don’t have any heir apparent on the roster with rookie Kyle Lauletta and veteran Alex Tanney. That would leave the draft or free agency to find one.Manning has not had a bad year statistically. He is 356 of 535 for 3,998 yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. When his shaky line gives him time to throw (46 sacks allowed) and opens up holes for rookie Saquon Barkley, he is more than adequate. He still has the arm, he rarely gets hurt, and his understanding of the game is better than most quarterbacks.His drawback is a $22 million salary cap hit next season, something Gettleman might look to adjust.Manning said last year was the first time his future really came up. He is not surprised it’s happened again.However, he is not going into Sunday game against the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys (9-6) thinking this might be his last game with the Giants. He has been their starting quarterback since the second half of his rookie year in 2004.“No, just worried about this game and finishing this season Shareef Miller Jersey , and going out there and playing hard,” Manning said of the last-game question.Manning said he has not had talks with the front office about either reworking or extending his contract, a four-year, $84 million deal that ends after next season. He said those discussions would happen after this season.The Giants have played better in the second half of the schedule, going 4-3. They lost last weekend on a last-minute touchdown to the Colts, and blew a 12-point lead against Philadelphia on Nov. 25. The other loss was a 17-0 decision in the rain to Tennessee.Manning said the Giants are trying to finish the season strong and build momentum.“I can’t remember how the last game of every season worked out,” said Manning, who led the Giants to Super Bowl wins after the 2007 and ’11 seasons. “I think we are building something. I think when you have new players, and a new team, and a bunch of new guys coming from one year that hopefully will be here next year, I think you are building kind of the character and a winning attitude. So, I think those things can carry over.”Manning hasn’t spent much time thinking about the future: “Yeah, when you get to Year 15, these things come up,” he said.Wide receiver Sterling Shepard said he would love to have Manning back.“He still has it in him Germaine Pratt Jersey , in my eyes,” Shepard said. “Smartest guy I ever played with and he’s still making all the throws. You can see last week, he made a lot of great throws, made great decisions with the ball, so I don’t see why not.”Shurmur indicated little about Manning’s future, saying No. 10 gives them the best chance to win this week.“That’s where we’re at,” Shurmur said. “I think when the game is over and we start talking in depth about what’s going to happen moving forward, that’s when you worry about it. I’m not worried about that. Again, you’re talking to the coach. I’m worried about the game.”NOTES: Shepard won the 18th annual George Young Good Guy Award, as voted on by the Giants’ chapter of the Professional Football Writers of America. Named for the late Giants general manager, it is given annually to recognize a Giants player for his consistent and outstanding cooperation with the writers who cover the team on a daily basis. ….
