Perfect.

The one about the marathon runner, FBI agent, and former navy fighter pilot who had the kid with Down's syndrome.

I went to school with him and his wife and dated her for a short time.

Yep. He's still around, and he's still an a-hole.

I think I remember hearing that he was wanted to sue ESPN for misrepresenting him in that 30 for 30, but the most damaging things about him came from his own direct quotes so that confused me.

The best one by far was the one about Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic. I was almost crying when he went to visit Drazen's family, who had not spoken to him since before Petrovic's death and all the wars in former Yugoslavia.

The second best one theyve made was when Luis Tiant went back to Cuba for the first time in 40 years and visited uncles and cousins. It was incredible. Place looks like its been stuck in a poverty/no progress black hole for 50 years. All the tears, hugging, etc.- very moving.

Definitely not.

Most recent one that I've enjoyed was Big Shot. Amazing that someone could almost buy a team based on nothing but apperances.
