  • Unexpected Impact

    I was needing a sports story to keep me awake while driving. I am not into fiction but real life. 30 for 30 rarely disappoints so my odds were good. Who knew that this story would have impacted me in such an unexpected and significant manner.

  • Wanted to love it

    I love a great sports story. Which so many pf these are. Unfortunately, I can’t listen to loud “NFL beer commercial music” playing over people talking in the interview. It’s hard to focus on what the person is talking about because my brain starts screaming WHAT?! I CAN’T HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. CAN THE MUSIC BE TURNED DOWN OR OFF?!!!
