30 for 30: The Marinovich Project

with daddy issues:

He has never eaten a Big Mac or an Oreo or a Ding Dong. When he went to birthday parties as a kid, he would take his own cake and ice cream to avoid sugar and refined white flour. He would eat homemade catsup, prepared with honey. He did consume beef but not the kind injected with hormones. He ate only unprocessed dairy products. He teethed on frozen kidney. When Todd was one month old, Marv was already working on his son's physical conditioning. He stretched his hamstrings. Pushups were next. Marv invented a game in which Todd would try to lift a medicine ball onto a kitchen counter. Marv also put him on a balance beam. Both activities grew easier when Todd learned to walk. There was a football in Todd's crib from day one. "Not a real NFL ball," says Marv. "That would be sick; it was a stuffed ball.

Was anyone besides Marv surprised he turned to drugs?

I read many stories and quotes from him how he would be coming of binges playing for the raiders. I don't remember if he said he ever played high.

I am almost sure I read where Marinovich played coked up. If he didn't, at least we have Lawrence Taylor.

I've been waiting for a good marinovich documentary to come out for years

There was a reason he was referred to as "Marijuanavich"

This will be interesting
