This series has gone way downhill


What happened to starting off with the person as a kid and working your way up?
How can you make Steve Young boring?!

The Chad Johnson episode was the biggest pile of crap Ive ever seen. Those slow mo cigar smoking scenes were a turd delight.

There have been some weak episodes so far. What makes this series (for the most part) worth watching is that it usually focuses on individuals with life stories that are deeper than what we see on Sundays or focus on players we have somewhat forgotten about.. It's not like there aren't enough players/coaches to choose from, but we now seem to be getting stories about those whose every move has been chronicled on TV ... like Chad Johnson ... it revealed nothing new. The Steve Young episode was tedious to watch.

While people whined about Matt Millen getting an episode, I found it fascinating, revealing and wish there were more episodes like it. I don't want to hear about those who already get all the attention. What else do we need to know about Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Joe Montana. I prefer the "where are they now" storylines and would love to see episodes on players like Randy White, Hollywood Henderson, Jim Otto, Jack Ham/Jack Lambert, Conrad Dobler, etc..
