Small Potatoes: Who Killed The USFL? - Good
As someone who was a toddler when the USFL rose and fell, this one was worth watching, just for the history lesson.
The Legend of Jimmy The Greek - Average
It seemed a little long, and hard to get into if you didn't care about Jimmy The Greek Snyder specifically. It was pretty cool to see some old NFL Today footage though.
Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks - Good
Although I am not much of an NBA fan, and don't have a favorite team, Miller ranks behind only Larry Bird as my favorite player to have watched. So it was fun to relive the Knicks-Pacers rivalry.
Silly Little Game - Good
Another worthwhile history lesson. I didn't know how fantasy sports had such a marked beginning. (I'd have had fantasy baseball's origin pegged similar to real baseball's: developing vaguely over time, with no one entity able to claim creation.)
Tim Richmond: To The Limit - Good
At 53 minutes - some of these tend to seem a little bloated - this one was an efficient look at an interesting character. I learned that so many aspects of the movie Days Of Thunder, were based on Richmond. (A young driver, who came from open-wheel racing up north, teams with a crusty old crew chief. He doesn't know much about cars, but he has talent. Even the "50 laps his way, 50 laps my way" scene in the movie happened with Richmond.)
Broke - Bad
Boring and repetitive, it felt like 77 minutes of a 3-minute intro to a more in-depth piece that never came. Young athletes don't know how to manage their newfound wealth and go broke - okay, we get it. Save your time and skip Broke...or just watch the first 5 minutes. The only redeeming part of this one, is the schadenfreude, if you're into that kind of thing.
You Don't Know Bo - Excellent
It's hard to go wrong with a documentary based on Bo Jackson, chalk full of highlights and interviews with figures from Jackson's heyday, including Jackson himself. Bo Jackson was almost a real-life superhero in his sports feats.
Survive And Advance - Excellent
The touching story of Jim Valvano and his 1983 NC State Wolfpack's miracle run to the NCAA title. The inclusion of beefy highlight packages from several key games, was a nice addition.
Elway To Marino - Excellent
A fascinating look at the 1983 NFL Draft. Pretty much the opposite of Broke; to call Elways To Marino in-depth would be an understatement. And for me, when it comes to anything to do with the NFL, and historical drafts, getting too in-depth is not possible.
So, thus far, I've watched 3 excellent, 4 good, 1 average, and 1 bad. I hope to watch more soon.
