My favorite 30 for 30s are:

27-24: the Andrew Ritter Story

Or

Buried Alive: How Peria Jerry singlehandedly killed two LSU QBs

I thought Book Of Manning was awesome. Sometimes these come off a little melodramatic, but I thought BOM stayed out of the fray. The story didn't just tip the hat to it really being about fatherhood, it really was/is a story about fatherhood.

Peyton is a strange one, that's for sure. To me, it takes quite a large ego to do what he did going to Tennessee.

Probably would have gone to Ole Miss if almost anyone else was the head coach at the time.

It was probation and Cooper having to quit football that pushed him away from Ole Miss.

I blame him for the cheating but not for the severity of the probation. Our old AD didn't appeal or negotiate with the NCAA at all. We were hammered with the worst sanctions since SMU's death penalty and we just took it.

That might be true but would not have been known at the time Peyton committed/signed LOI with UT.

Wow. That was some rough sanctions we got. 2 year postseason ban, 1 year TV ban, loss of 24 schollys.

BTW. What the hell is a telephone credit card?

I can't sit here and say that if I was a big time recruit that I wouldn't record conversations, meetings or any of the gifts I received from boosters. I would do that THEN turn all the schools (minus the school I chose of course) into the NCAA.

Cell phones haven't been around forever and long distance calls used to cost something.

Cooper talking about having to quit football gets me everytime. Especially when he starts talking about the things he misses from it.
