CBS is looking to the NFL for its next family comedy.

The network is teaming with Arizona Cardinals' starting defensive end Calais Campbell to develop comedy The Whole Nine, which is inspired by his own life, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The multicamera comedy centers on a pro football player who moves into a gated community and is surprised when his overbearing family shows up on his doorstep wanting to move in. The NFL is not involved.

Chris Case (who penned last season's NFL Fox family comedy pilot Havoc) will serve as a co-writer alongside newcomers Derek Elliot and Jack Donaldson. The comedy hails from CBS Television Studios, where fellow exec producers Eric and Kim Tannenbaum are under an overall deal. Doug Banker and Campbell are also on board as EPs.

Sounds like a dud. Something based on Dockett's life would be more interesting.

I'm still waiting for the Kurt Warner movie.
