Anybody else watching this? So far I am hooked on it. ESPN does do a very good job with these documentaries.
Book of Manning

- Start date
I saw a little clip of it last night, I never knew the whole story about Cooper Manning's spinal condition that ended his football career. Listening to him describe what it was like when he found out he couldn't play anymore was really tough.
I was surprised they didn't cover a little more of their NFL careers and get Archie's thoughts on the Super Bowl wins.
I guess in the end, it really highlights their college careers where they all excelled.

Well it's the "SEC Storied" series of documentaries. Overall I thought it was really interesting, Archie really impressed me a lot.
Yeah there's that too. As far as the SEC is concerned they're probably every bit as good as the NFL, so super bowl championships are a minor footnote in this story.
When Archie got hate mail because Peyton went to Tennessee, my wife proclaimed that southerners are indeed crazy!
This. It had me hooked from start to finish. A great player lost while still in his prime. Had me choked up seeing him growing up without a father who was also taken before his time and now his kids are going threw the same thing.
