Not a 30 for 30, but tonight is the first installment of the Year of the Quarterback. This one is on Condredge Holloway. Usual ESPN documentary greatness. Kenny Chesney is involved in the making of this one and he did a good job with the Boys of Fall a few months back.
Tonight I learned Condredge went to the same church I went to when I was very little, and one of his old high school coaches was one of my teachers when I was in high school. Also, I had forgotten the Patriots drafted him as a DB.
Condredge was a college football star who was the 4th overall pick in the MLB draft as a high school senior and was also recruited by John Wooden. What an amazing athlete he was and an even better person.
"You stay bought into it when you see your opponent sucking air and physically failing, and you're still fit and ready, and you know you own his ass."
