Sober Marinovich, 48, attempts QB comeback

Former NFL quarterback Todd Marinovich, less than two years after being arrested with drugs while naked, wants to play again and is attempting a comeback at age 48.

Sixteen years since he last played for the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena League and 27 years since he was released by the Los Angeles Raiders, Marinovich will don the uniform of the SoCal Coyotes of the World Developmental Football League.

Marinovich, who served as an assistant coach with the Coyotes last season, said he is "super-stoked" to be competing for the starting spot against 25-year-old Jacob Russell when practice begins Aug.
