Once Brothers stills sets the standard for these with The Best That Never was coming in second.

They just released the first half of them on DVD I believe.

I'm assuming the first 15 episodes are included in the box set? I haven't seen all of them, nor have I seen a list of what ones are on the box. Does anyone have a list of the episodes that are actually on the DVD itself? Reps for it. Also asked for it for Christmas. It's a must buy for any sports fan. 45 bucks at Amazon.com, what a fantastic deal.
This was such a great idea, I hope they do more and more. It's so in depth and the commentary/episode ideas are fantastic. Pony Excess has easily been my favorite one so far. What happened to SMU was horrible but the direction of the episode was great. Helps you learn things you would've never learned any other way. The Dupree/OJ Simpsons ones were great as well.

They nail it on every football-related show. USFL, The U, Raiders, Marcus Dupree and now this SMU feature were all great. Didn't care for the Ricky Williams show. Just basically watching a guy self-destruct in front of a camera. Love Once Brothers and Against the Wind. Tear-jerker stuff.

BTW, pick up a DVD recorder at Big Lots for $30 and an $8 spindle of DVD-R discs and record these off the television. This idea also comes in handy for PPV movies and UFC.

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread but the second part starts today at 8. Broke by the same guy who did the U documentary. Should be interesting.

I've actually been looking forward to this for the past few months, ever since I heard about it.

Did anyone catch this one? Liked it but slightly disappointed that they didn't go into more depth with it.

No Crossover(Allen Iverson)
Pony Excess(SMU)
Jordan Rides The Bus
The Best That Never Was(Marcus Dupree)

Does anyone know if these new ones are added to Netflix? Or viewable online? Probably not, but just wondering.

Broke was alright, seemed like it could have been some of those guys just looking for sympathy but sent a message I suppose to some of the young up and comers.
Some of my faves:
Pony Excess
The U
Without Bias
Unguarded
The best that never was

I just finished watching Unguarded. Wow.....still believe Once Brothers and No Bias are the two best but that one could defintely be in the discussion. And I forgot how nice Chris Herren was. Dude could ball.

Really interested in seeing the new one on Ben Wilson. Guys from the Chi tell me Benji was the real deal and would have been a absolute star.

I highly doubt Benji attacked somebody whom he knew had a gun. Therefore, I do not believe Moore's story. Not realistic.

I believe some of Moore's story. Girls get guys all excited.
If only we had Ben's girl interview and tell it, but I guess she would be in trouble for perjury if she says something else.
