Fascinating piece (and the audio version is a great addition) about a movie I was completely unaware of. It did bring to mind Number One (with Charlton Heston) - another pretty bleak look at a jock reaching the end of the line?
As an outsider, US football culture (NFL, but maybe even more so college football) does simultaneously intrigue, baffle and sometimes appal me. So much going on that just isn't questioned (as is certainly the case with, say, football in the UK).
