Four pages and this is the first time this one was mentioned.

I enjoyed it, but I'm guessing most people found it boring. My wife watches a lot if these with me. She left like 15 minutes into this one.

My top 3 based on captivating story:

2 Escobars
Marcus Dupree
Pony Excess

Top 3 most entertaining:

No love for Without Bias, and barely a mention of Run Ricky Run, Benji or June 17th, 1994? And everybody loves The U? And Broke? Really?

On the next 30 For 30:

"Pony Excess" was a total fluff piece. ESPN had Craig James on the payroll and completely let him off the hook. They never once forced him to answer any tough questions in regards to the issues at SMU. Instead they provided him with a platform to smooth it out and deflect from the corruptness that he was a part of with his disenginous "aw shucks, if it was going on I did'nt know anything about it" attitude.

"The U" was not bad but they conveniently left out the '92 Sugar Bowl. That one game single handedly squashed the famous swagger that not even the loss to Penn St. in the Fiesta could dampen. It marked the end of the culture that made the school famous.

"Into The Wind" was disappointing to me. Can't quite put my finger on it but it just didnt stir the emotions that I thought the story deserved, and I remember following the story every morning on the Today show back in 1980 as a ten year old.

"The Two Escobars" is mine and I hate soccer. It was able to entertain and translate the politics and passion the sport evokes in those countries.
