Interesting timing
18 February 2024
I wonder if the story for this episode was written as some sort of rebuttal to the fury of sports movies that stole the scene in the late 1970s. Rocky, the masterpiece, was a smash hit. The Champion and Raging Bull further used the dynamics of boxing to lay the groundwork for the dramatical structures needed in cinema.

I don't recall if there were particular movies focusing on football in that same fashion. Still, the moral of this story seems to negate the overblown beneficiality that's in the DNA of those films by Avildsen, Zeffirelli and Scorcese.

Being a tough guy may come with coming of age story. But the cost may be unnecessarily high.

Interesting and valuable take overall.

And... The wife of this obsessed coach is smoking hot! I failed to find on here who she is and what other work she has done. I'd love to see more of her.
