Guy really fizzled out in the pros but in college, there was nobody better.

The 30 for 30 should be awesome.

Bosworth couldnt play on the FSU and Miami teams of that time. Derick Brooks was a beast in college. Never saw LT play at UNC but im sure he was as well.

Brian Bosworth.....what a waste of potential.
He could have been one of the all time greats.

Excuse me? He had the most hype but was not the best to ever play that position.

Agree. He was a very good CFB LBer....but was overhyped. It was early in the cable TV era and he was one of the first College players that garnered mass attention. He was Deion Sanders before Deion Sanders (although Deion was legit).

A guy I know got the preview of the film a night early. He said it was amazing. And makes the Marcus Dupree 30 for 30 look like a student film. He said it's the best 30 for 30 that's he's ever seen. And your going to both love him and hate him while your watching it. I knew Bosworth when he was just a freshman kid on the OU football team. He came to work for my company in the 89 day summer jobs program for student athletes back then. He was a pretty spoiled and obnoxious asshole. And a general pain in the ass. I was glad to see him go. A year later I guess he found a good agent, and made his image into the Boz. I guess he's mellowed out over the years...Or else he's putting on a good act.

He's in that Direct TV (or some other cable company) commercial making fun of himself, "Did somebody say 'college'?"

Yeah, I've thought about that over the years.

Go watch the youtube clip. He didn't really run him over. Bosworth hits him and kind of takes him down to the side. It's not as bad as you think it was.

Nope , it's not as bad as you may think, but he never recovered from it, so steamrolling it is!

And Boz is nowhere near the best CFB LB ever. He's barely a candidate for the CFB Hall of Fame, if at all, IMO.

He, and/or his people, were brilliant marketers. He took all of his stuff from Pro Wrestling and used it well. He was a real good college player, but not an all time great or anything, but his brand was an all time great college brand.

He was a superb player but not the best ever. Would've played a while in the NFL if not for his shoulder injury (which he claimed was why he took steroids in college). Definitely a HOF self-promoter.
