this campaign called you don't know jack about ms. when i got diagnosed i'd go online and go to certain medical websites and this and that and i couldn't find anything that was here's ms. here's what it is, here's some information on how to take care of yourself and here's some people'sexperience. >> what do you think the biggest myth people have about ms is? >> i mean there's so many. i think probably the biggest myth that i get frustrarated by is that, you know, i think people automatically assume you're no longer able-bodied and i think that's a huge thing. you'll have to be confined to, you know, a wheelchair or what have you but it's not the case anymore. there's so manyreatments out there. >> our thanks to jack and to sara and you can find out more info on the you don't know jack about ms ptnership on that organization's website. time now to heaead back tside and ginger. >> and, amy, all we can talk about is the chill and then we're starting to think, well, let's go ahead and get warm. but you get warm and go to south

florida, this is what's going to happen. you see a beautiful sunrise but then you may get rain and storms. that stationary front will stick around. a couple of inches of rain but, of course a lot of those places still wanting it after being in th >> all that weather brought to you by amazon prime and now michael is here with legendary nfl tig end tony gonzalez talking about their inspiring documentary "play it forward." michael. >> thank you, ginger. and i am here with tony gonzales and, tony, yes. tony, everybody. and i got to say i had an opportunity to play against you when i was with the giants and you were with the chiefs and you were with the atlanta falco

and made a documentary with you detailing your journey throughout your career and life with your brbrother, chris, and how was it to see this unfold at the tbeca film festival to see your life unfold in frontf everybody. >> first of all it's surreal when you see everybody looking at the personal side. that's always been the football side but i was really proud of the story that we told like you said it was my journey to one of the best years of my life. we went to the nfc championship life but my brother's journey and the way it chronicled our family and how we support each other is a sididef our nfl lives that most people don't get to see. it was reall unique from that standpoint watching how we support each other and how i supported my brother through his journey of becoming a fireman. >> here's a player who brings a family with him. your case is a little different. you did bring your family with you but it was your brother's dream to play football and he stepped in and did a lot of things that a father would do for you to make sure you made it anhow is the relationship w with your brother? i kno you two didn't talk for a year and a half after this film was made.

>> you know, he sacrificed a lot of his life and his dreams to really support mine and really help me. he was that confidant and that no guy. you have a lot of yes people but he was that no guy. you're not that good. you're getting out of hand. why don't we go home and shut it down early. after the doc was shot we stopped talking and maybe that was because football got taken away. that was always o our common ground. what we always spoke about but went through ups and downs but we are talking today and it's one of those things, you got to get it wrong beforeou get it right and i think our relationship n is stronger than ever. >> and what do you hope people take away from this film? >> you know, like i debated on whether or not to tel anybody we stopped talking for a year and a half after the documentary because we supported each other but i want people to take away the family dynamic and how we support -- we're just one story of many out there. but like i said in the film it'll make you laugh. it'll make you cry but most of all it's going to makeou cheer not just for sports but for life.
