    Many thanks for the heads up. Bought two copies. One for the brother-in-law for Christmas and one for myself.

    The rest of the series has been so good that I'm willing to check in on just about anything, regardless of the subject matter. The Chris Herren one could be real good - He had some massive demons. I was at a shop in that coverage area when he crashed into the side of a drivethru, and the police found about two bindles of heroin in his car, IIRC.

    Bartman and Wepner are ones I'll watch. Roll Tide.

    Depending on who they are the agents one could be interesting but nothing other than the Wepner one jumps out like the Miami, USFL, Marcus Dupree, SMU or Fab Five stuff did.

    Alabama-Auburn has potential as long as they don't go for an easy angle.

    Working my way through the boxed set, watching the ones I didn't catch on TV. Even the ones that I've watched so far that looked boring have been at least decent.

    The one I missed that I really wanted to see was about Gretzky getting traded to L.A.

    The Two Escobars was outstanding, but having to read subtitles for two straight hours made it feel like homework at times.

    Funningly enough it is one of the ones I enjoyed the least and I'm a huge hockey fan. Not enough new information for my liking.

    I caught Catching Hell at the TriBeCa FF. Excellent. There was a piece of footage toward the end of the film that really changed everything for me on Bartman. I can't wait to see what SJ nation thinks of it.

    Charismatic is a hell of a story if they have it, and I'm by no means a horse racing person.
