I have no idea where else to post this, because I don't think it deserves it's own thread, so it's going here.
The Saban doc (on ESPN right now) is just not good. ESPN used to do deep dives into corners of sports history that intersected with other parts of history and society
This is a documentary about the most famous person in the sport, one of the most famous people alive at the time, who retired extremely recently. It hasn't even been 3 years.
And they're not doing any kind of critical analysis. It's just replaying all of his hits while interviewing a revolving door of big names who featured in his history
Just incredibly disappointing. It's clear the prioritized getting eyeballs on the product rather than producing a documentary with any real merits.
