Kenny Chesney has fallen in love with producing. It all started when he produced his 3D movie, "Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D," and then he produced a football documentary, "The Boys of Fall," to go along with his song of the same name. Now there's word of an upcoming ESPN special, "The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story" for ESPN's "Year of the Quarterback." When Kenny played high school football, he wore Holloway's jersey number, idolized him and is thrilled to pay tribute to him this way. The special is scheduled to air February 20th on ESPN.
