Hi, Kevin Johnson. The concept sounds exciting. The logline is solid, but I think it can be smoother. How about: "After a retired football player with a bad attitude suddenly goes broke, he tries to get back into the NFL by taking in two foster children to gain a good guy image."

Kevin Johnson

Maurice Vaughan My friend!! Good job. I'm going to use that if you don't mind sir...LOL

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome to use it, Kevin Johnson.

Kevin Johnson

Maurice Vaughan Log line credit will go to you sir...Thanks again!

Maurice Vaughan

No credit needed, Kevin Johnson. You made the logline. I just reworded it some. Thanks though. Also, the logline needs a period.

Although I kind of like the storyline itself, the logline doesn't make sense in some cases. What is the significance of stating goes broke? Foster Children have to have a stable home as a key requirement. In most states, the requirements to foster children are:

1. Undergo a criminal background check, including being fingerprinted.

2. Complete an application packet.

3. Participate in interviews with agency staff.

4. Complete medical exams for all family members.

5. Complete pre-service training.

6. Attend ongoing training programs provided by our agency.

7. Be FINANCIALLY stable and be able to maintain FINANCIAL responsibilities in your home.

If anything I would feel more comfortable with: He was cut or released from his contract due to "Bad Attitude" or "Difficult To Work With." This would allow him to realistically be able to qualify for the task of Foster Parent, with obviously some uncertainties due to behavior. Also if he "Retired", why is he needing the NFL's approval? Just become a Foster Parent...Just my 2 cents #Respect - Johnnie Jay

Kevin Johnson

Thanks Johnnie Jay for the feedback.

Johnnie Jay

You're welcome, Sir! Also, PLEASE understand my comment was only out of love, not disrespect.

Kevin Johnson
