Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to check it out...

I second the recommendation! Tremendous stuff, including the random Paul Maguire comments. Just saw the installment that dealt with Namath, Bachelors III, crying in front of the media. Remember the SI cover from that? "Namath Weeps" Outstanding.

Finally (for the Scheftophiles who are considering watching it), the documentary is really not about "football" in the same way that Everything Hurts is really not about "psychogenic pain." As you mentioned, the context of social and racial unrest give it both depth and texture.

And just so the rest of you know, Bill appears in the last half hour of the movie "Beer League", also currently running on Showtime. No kiddin.
