Tim Green’s days are full.
The former linebacker and defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons, who in retirement has practiced law, worked as a commentator on NPR, hosted TV shows and written more than 20 books, spends his mornings tackling his emails. After that, Green, 57, works through a series of conference calls and law firm business through the middle of the day, then he writes all afternoon until it is time for what are often extended family dinners.
Green watches his grandchildren play until their bedtime arrives, then he watches TV with his wife, Ilyssa, and youngest son, Ty, 15, before reading himself to sleep.
