If four-plus months of indulging in college football leaves you feeling the need for some culture to balance out your life, we have good news: You can do it without totally leaving the gridiron behind.
That is thanks to FOX Sports football analyst and all-time Ohio State great Eddie George, who is scheduled to play the title character in Shakespeare's "Othello" for a three-week run in January beginning three days after the BCS National Championship Game.
George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner who played most of his NFL career in Nashville as a Tennessee Titan, will be performing at the Troutt Theater at Belmont University in Nashville with the show running from Jan. 9-Feb. 2.
