Iced by Steve Sherman - A famed NFL kicker’s career takes a nosedive after he misses the kick that would’ve won the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, his wife, teammate, and agent all fumble with his downward spiral. When unexpected consequences arise, David struggles to move forward in a sports-obsessed, social media-driven world where you’re only as good as your last missed kick. Hosted by David Ratliff.
