Thanks for the tip. It's sitting on my DVR right now. Love the 30 for 30 series. My five favorites, in no particular order:
The U -- I love how proud they were when the NCAA sent out a video showing behavior that would be flagged, and as the players described, "It was basically our season highlight tape from the year before!"
The Best that Never Was -- I think that was the title, but the subject was Marcus DuPree. He was a couple years before my time, so it was great watching him.
The Fab Five -- Technically not a 30 for 30, but still great. Jalen Rose was articulate and still defiantly proud. The only downside was that Chris Webber didn't contribute.
Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks -- I don't think that's the actual title, but this one is probably my favorite. It's amazing how fresh the rivalry between Miller and John Starks is in both men's minds, and Spike Lee is also entertaining.
Roll Tide/War Eagle -- Again, not a 30 for 30, still awesome. We think we have a rivalry with C.al. We have no idea what a rivalry is.

The U is excellent. The best part of it is that the game where most of the ridiculous dance celebrations were filmed was against kal....man they were merciless! I miss those Miami teams, the game was more fun back then.
Billy Corben has done a few other great documentaries. Cocaine Cowboys and Square Grouper were both very entertaining. I'm looking forward to this one, thanks for the tip garvin.

This 30 for 30 DID note Tiger Woods' divorce settlement as an example of the type of way players lose big money.
It was not my favorite 30 for 30 because it lacked the storytelling that was so nice in other shows.
Oh well, it was interesting to see how players can lose so much money doing crazy things. As I was watching I could not help but recall Shaq's need to buy Mark Madsen a bunch of stuff. Seemed silly and fun, but I wonder how many other unnecessary gifts Shaq has given away through the years.

Maybe that is why he needs to hobble into those Buicks and then pretend to look comfortable in the GM commercials now.

Roll Tide/War Eagle is about more than just a rivalry though. It's more of a blood feud. Rivalries can be set aside--the 'Bama/Auburn allegiance, not so much.
Can't wait to see Broke. I need to catch up on the rest of the 30 for 30 series.Â

I thought the best 30 for 30 was the Two Escobars.
And hank, the Reggie Miller doc is called Winning Time.
