Who's watching this? Surprised to not see a thread on this, as I find myself fairly addicted to it. Some episodes are better than others, but there are some amazing ones -- a few that come to mind include Paul Brown, Mean Joe Greene, Steve Largent, John Riggins, and, obviously, the Belichick one (which may have started it all? I can't remember).
What I love the most about this series is that it doesn't shy away from the dark side of the game -- the violence, the steroids, the early deaths, etc. And that's just the Lyle Alzado episode! Lots of guys motivated by terrible, abusive fathers. A credit to the legacy of NFL Films and the Sabols, as it seems that it continues to be separate and distinct from the Baghdad Bobification that is the rest of NFL-sponsored media.
