LaDainian Tomlinson Joining NFL Network's Early Sunday Morning Pregame Show

NFL Network hired former NFLer LaDainian Tomlinson for its "First on the Field" Sunday morning show, which launches at 7:00am ET on Sept. 9. Tomlinson, who retired during the offseason, will join hosts Melissa Stark and Sterling Sharpe and NFL Insider Michael Lombardi on the two-hour show, which is purported to be the earliest NFL pregame show on game days. NFL Films will produce the show from its Mt. Laurel, N.J., studio. The program, which will feature live reports from game sites, will be streamed to Verizon subscribers via NFL Mobile and will feature companion programming on NFL.com.
