Looking forward to this. First two in this batch of 30 for 30s haven't been up to par, IMO.

Great film! Thad did a good job. One of the better 30 for 30's I have seen.

Did it mention the Boz insurance policy?

Nope. But that's another thing that was a brilliant move on his/his agent's part.

I lived in L.A during the 90's and saw the Boz at a high school football game where he was a volunteer coach for Malibu HS. I told him I remembered him from his days as a Irving McArthur Cardinal and he looked stunned. He was very nice and we laughed that California high school football was not exactly Plano vs. Austin Westlake. Maybe 400 people in the stands. I have the movie on the DVR and can't wait to see it.

Great job Thad. Captured a tortured soul that seems to have found redemption. Always a great story.

Absolutely loved this one. Another excellent job by Thad. Should be watched by any college football fan. Great interviews, great selection of interviewers, etc. It all became complete with the addition of Stone Cold at the end! I remember the anti Boz T-Shirts in Denver (as I lived there) and the fact that the company selling them was owned by Boz.

If Thad comes on here - would be interested in knowing if he intended on the Storage Shed scenes to look as staged as they looked. I am sure that there was emotion there on the part of Brian and his son - but I could not help but think that it was all pretty scripted.
