living between two worlds for his first major Hollywood project.Paysinger grew up in economically depressed South Los Angeles Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hoodie , 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 Cheap Customized Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys , 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, emailing me saying, 'That's not it. They couldn't have converted on that http://www.authenticstampabaybuccaneers.com/cheap-vinny-curry-jersey ,' " 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.Evans and Fitzpatrick get off to a good start The Buccaneers first team offense started the season off pretty well under Ryan Fitzpatrick in the teams first preseason game. Fitzpatrick, led the team on a seven-play, 61-yard drive to open the scoring in Miami. One takeaway from tonight’s game was that Fitzpatrick and Mike Evans seemed to be on the same page early on. Evans, who is arguably the Buccaneers most consistent player, finished the first game with two receptions for 26 yards on his only two drives. Obviously, the chemistry between Evans and Fitzpatrick will be important throughout the team’s first three games in the regular season http://www.authenticstampabaybuccaneers.com/cheap-ryan-jensen-jersey , but the fifth year receiver has a lot of confidence in Fitz. “We have a really good quarterback room. It’s my job and all the receivers’ jobs to get open, run our routes and make plays no matter who is throwing it,” Evans said. “We are very fortunate to have an experienced vet like Fitz. He’s been really good for us.”The most important thing in that first preseason game is to get that feel back and get back into the rhythm of playing football against another team. It was important for Tampa Bay to get off to a good start and for Evans to get on the same page with Fitz. Evans echoed the importance of starting fast in his press conference. “We had a good opening drive – guys getting used to the feel of playing a real game,” Evans said. “We did well – got a touchdown on our first drive, moved the ball on our second one. It’s good to play against someone else and get the feel back of playing a real game.”You would have liked to see Tampa Bay finish that second drive for a touchdown with the first team offense, but they did show a lot of positives tonight and will need to build off of that as they head towards the second preseason game.
