The acclaimed ESPN documentary series, 30 for 30, is now available on Netflix. If you are unfamiliar with it, the documentaries focus on certain sports stories from the “ESPN era.”
So far I have watched Unguarded, the story of basketball player and drug addict Chris Herren, and The Real Rocky, the story of boxer Chuck Wepner, the inspiration for Rocky. Both were solid, especially Unguarded. Next I plan to watch Pony Exce$$, the story of SMU and the events leading up to them receiving the death penalty.
Anyone else watched any of these? Any suggestions?
And no Netflix is not paying me.

It’s also on You Tube wherever you can find episodes. I agree with you on Chuck Wepner’s story. Other good one’s include The Pony Excess, Straight out of LA, Sweet Home Alabama; and documentaries on Marcus Dupree and Jimmy the Greek

I really liked The Two Escobars when it originally aired.

Pony Exce$$ was excellent.

I have watched just about all of them this past week……my favorites have to be “The Guru of Go” about Hank Gathers and Paul Westhead and “Unguarded” about Chris Herren…..I am waiting on the other ones to come out…..HAVE FUN!!!!
