ESPN Dramatic Reading
Hey Yardbarkers, I have a surprise for you. I know all y'all see me as a bruising Fullback, however little do you guys know, I am also a trained thespian. Upon graduation of college I had a dilemma on whether to go into my first love which is acting or professional football. I reluctantly chose football. While I was out in NY for the NFL draft, ESPN The Magazine gave me a chance to get back to my roots and show all the haters that I can cross over at any time. Below is some of my best work. Excuse my French/ country side accent, I've been away from the game for a while. Enjoy.

Very good. I like the use of the different voices.
-
i got stuck between country and french accents so i made up my own accent. i guess u can call it Frencountry
-
Frencountry.....That's a good one! LOL :)
-
oh my... i feel like i'm actually at the scene. if i just close my eyes...
-
lol u prob would find more relief if u closed your eyes and your ears. my brother saw this and is still laughing he says it should be considered noise pollution
-
That was great, Ovie.
PS: Le'Ron McClain ain't the same. -
Word.

"do you think he's smarter than you?"
That was great. -

-
ovie, this is epic.
-
Does that qualify for an espy? It was a great moment in sports
-
im gona do a media campaign to push for an espy, but for some reason i dont see and espy in my future. Now an OSCAR, i can do
-
I like your blog a lot. It's definitely one of, if not THE best on this site. I see you have Halo 3 as your favorite video game. So what do you get down with: Slayer? And who do you play with: teammates or do you hop on the Live scene? Good luck this season and good luck with camp. College football camp was unbearable. I can't even imagine pro camp.
-
pro camp is rough but i think college camp is just as hard but without the mental anguish u got at the pros. and regarding HALO 3 i absolutely love that game. i might have to start going to rehab to pull myself away. i usually play team slayer on xbox live and completely demolish anyone who gets in my way
-
DUDE, I can't even say your last name, but good luck to ya!
I can see it now when you make a grat play on ESPN's Prime Time....."Ovie Dee, Ovie Dah, Life goes on, oh......" -
Moo-hale-E
-
I think my previous comment dissapeared. Just wanted to drop a note to say that it is great to see your career progress. Loved to see you play in Baltimore. Oh, and that reading was crazy! LOL!
-
OMG, Ovie! It was so great hearing your voice again! You haven't changed much since the good ole days, except a little muscle toning here and there! ;) And good job, you thespian, you!!!
-
that might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen...thanks for the laugh :)
-
Are you kidding : ) Too funny and cute at the same time.
