Is this the same one that aired in September, or a new one?

I recorded the one in September and have watched it several times.

Are you referring to the ESPN story that was done on Gleason? I believe this one is different. If not mistaken, the "A Football Life" on Gleason is new, and airs for the 1st time next week....

No it was this one on NFL in September

I see that this is a new one now - will definitely be watching

I watched it last night. Everyone, football fan, Saints fan, or otherwise, should take an hour out of their lives and watch it.

Agreed. Inspirational all around. I'm buying some merchandise for the family and to help support the cause.

I already have two of the Team Gleason shirts and would really like to have a few more.

Steve is a courageous individual & it was good to see Scott Fujita in the documentary as well. This really sucks to have such a cruel disease take over your body. The guy give me chills every time I see him and the block punt vs Atlanta post Katrina.

God bless Gleason and his family.

Not gunna lie, in that clip when Steve is talking about his Wife and daughter and where without the aid of his computer asks that girl what her name is, It brought tears to my eyes

I love it how he said, "This will be the last trip of this magnitude until after I'm healed"

That my friends, is a true fighter

A must see for everyone. That Machu Piichu was some tough stuff. I didn't realize the severity of the climb. Crap sakes, impressive. When he met the gal in the restaurant, was the tipping point for me. What an amazing individual, and his support system's simply incredible.

Watched it and was tearing up the whole time. Great documentary and a true hero to all. Kudos to Fujita for being a real friend as well.

What Fujita did for gleason was incredible, I really hope they make a break through with ALS

Seeing steve on the field screaming after making a tackle then seeing him struggling now isn't right, having the strength to fight and explore everyday makes the man a hero
