Interesting documentary. Not too long, which I liked. Similar to 30/30 . I recall on this board we talked about how Johnny Football while still at ATM was jetsetting and spending money like a drunk football player on the take. Some on the board said, payola, illegal benefits. Others said, "nah, oil money. Comes from a rich family ". Turns out the oil money story was fabricated and spoon fed to the media to cover up the illegal benefits. Ncaa "investigated" and the penalty? Sits the first half of a meaningless game. Maybe he would have burned and crashed anyway but Sumlin and the administration at ATM made sure by coddling him. Guy never had consequences and the NFL won't put up with that. Unless you are really, really , really good. He wasn't.
