    Maybe he would still be in the NFL if he went to UT and got a good education.

    It's impressive he's not dead yet to be honest.

    The bigger the train wreck, the more exciting it is to watch.

    Vince Young and RG3 have problems too. Texas as a state is mid. Anything outside the loop is contaminated.

    Watched it last night. Pretty well done.

    Usually when you watch a doc like this, you spend the whole time building up to the redemption part at the end. Didn't get that this time. Spoiler alert: seems like he's still pretty effed up. I kept waiting for the part where I would feel some empathy towards him. Never happened.

    At the beginning, he says that if you didn't play football in HS, you were a p***y. What a douche.

    Couldn't see it on my work laptop because it's blocked. Just looked on my phone. Yeah....I'm sure they're going to grow old together, have children, grandchildren, etc.....

    A lot of ****ed up parts - # 1 to me is when his dad says we sent Johnny to A&M and expected the coaches to turn our kid into a man. Nah that’s not their job - that’s your job.

    Also the NFL probably vets draft picks more than any other league. You’re telling me the Browns didn’t know that Johnny showed up to Friday walkthroughs hungover, faked piss tests, took impermissible benefits (questions of ethics), etc.

    Best part-

    Browns GM - Johnny watches no film.
    Agent - He’s gotta watch some film.
    Browns GM - His iPad hours are 0.0.

    Cut to Johnny signaling zero lol

    I watched it this morning. Dude didn't watch film and had the 4th string QB at A&M take his piss tests. There's a saying I use a lot: "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." Johnny had the talent but didn't love the game the way other pros do and his lack of dedication bit him in the ass in the NFL.

    I do feel bad for him a little in that I did think he had mental problems like depression that lead to alcohol and drugs when he didn't know how to deal with sudden fame.

    There were some some spots like that and his 2nd year at A&M after he won the Heisman where I think he might have been speaking about what his mindset at the time was. Closer to the end, he did seem a little more reflective about things but yeah, still came off as still kind of a douche during most of his interview segments.

    He is the ULTIMATE bro-douche. I WISH. WISH, WISH he would have wound up with Jerry Jones in Dallas - would have been a masterpiece in toxicity.
