Jesse Holley gets a dose of reality TV

Posted Jul 23, 2009
Former North Carolina wide receiver Jesse Holley had to hold back tears two months ago when Michael Irvin named him the winner of his reality TV show, "4th and Long." His eyes welled up again Monday night as he sat in a Dallas sports bar, watching the show's final episode on Spike TV. Holley beat out 11 other contestants to earn the 80th slot on the Dallas Cowboys' training-camp roster. (Raleigh News & Observer)
