Getting your player ready...
Retired for nearly five years, Sherman Lewis was about to go to the senior center to call a bingo game when the Washington Redskins phoned. Lewis, therefore, left behind one set of “I’s” — I-18? I-20? — and instead became a “fresh set of eyes,” inserting himself in an awkward situation with a struggling team. Less than 24 hours after getting the call, the longtime NFL assistant was on the field Wednesday observing Redskins practice. “I had to go to the senior center and cancel my bingo calling,” said the 67-year-old Lewis, who last worked in the NFL with the Detroit Lions during the 2004 season. “And I had to cancel my Meals on Wheels today.”
