Scene rated ‘X’ for Joe

Joe Theismann has a brief but memorable part in “The Blind Side,” a soon-to-be-released movie depicting the remarkable story of Baltimore Ravens left tackle Michael Oher.

The heartwarming movie, which hits theaters Nov. 20, runs 2 hours, 8 minutes – all but 2 minutes of which Theismann plans to watch.

The Washington Redskins great might want to get popcorn at the beginning, because the story opens with actual footage of his gruesome, career-ending injury in 1985, when his lower leg snapped under the weight of a tackle by the New York Giants’ Lawrence Taylor.

Theismann plans to attend the New York premiere of the movie, which tells the true story of Oher’s improbable rise from poverty to All-American prominence.

The Theismann scene is important because it’s identified as a seminal moment in football, when people realized the true value of a left tackle protecting the quarterback’s blind side.

Law ready to enforce

Ty Law spent the first half of the season waiting for the right team to call. Now that it has, he doesn’t want to waste any more time getting back on the field.

Law came out of what he called “semiretirement” Saturday to join the Denver Broncos and counts on contributing Monday night when the Pittsburgh Steelers come to town.

“They’re trying to get me ready to play this week in a limited fashion,” the defensive back said. “I did it last year.”

The 15-year veteran joined the New York Jets at midseason in 2008 and played a few days later against New England.
