0:00.0	Right now, back to football, though, as we get ready for the start of the season, it is almost upon us.
0:07.0	And NFL legend, Nick Mangold, on behalf of the new Old Spice NFL collection available now at Walmart.
0:13.3	It may not play in the NFL, but you can smell like you do, seven pro bowls, two old pros.
