Tippett and TV
For those looking to follow Andre Tippett's weekend at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Patriots just released the following information:
A four-day celebration honoring Andre Tippett’s induction into to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which began with a raucous sendoff from fans at Patriots Training Camp on Wednesday, will conclude with a special “Patriots All Access” Saturday night at 10 p.m. on WCVB, when Kraft Sports Productions airs “A Call to the Hall” live from Tippett’s post-induction party in Canton, Ohio.
All Access cameras were in Arizona in February to catch Tippett’s emotional reaction upon hearing the news of his induction, and will be in Canton with Tippett on Saturday when he joins John Hannah as just the second career Patriot enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In the interim, All Access followed Tippett home to New Jersey, interviewed a number of former opponents and teammates and captured heartfelt congratulatory addresses from Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick and linebacker Tedy Bruschi.
“A Call to the Hall” will feature interviews with Tippett’s legendary high school coach, Frank Verducci, Hall of Famers Raymond Berry, Jim Kelly, Eric Dickerson and Joe DeLamielleure and former teammates Steve Grogan, Steve Nelson and Don Blackmon.
Other highlights include rarely seen high school and college footage and live interviews with Tippett and his hall of fame presenter, Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft.

For those who aren't aware, and live outside the New England area, like me, "A Call to the Hall" will be streamed live on Patriots.com, according to the Patriots Today program.
