It’s a heartfelt ride that contextualizes the importance of sports to the human condition on all sides of the ball. You really get to see how one person can become a constant source of support for hundreds and thousands of people. Go to Full Review George M. Thomas Akron Beacon Journal Apr 8

Michelle J @RT29067689 Apr 8 The best sports series I have watched in some time. Coach Kyle is an inspiration and the collection of football greats collected in the cast cements his credibility. If you love good storytelling but don't love football, this series is still a can't miss. Highly recommend. See more Read all reviews
