Against my better judgment, I watched. I knew the series would be awesome, while cautiously being aware that it only exists to inflate Jerry's already mammoth hubris.
Was a bit of an emotional watch for me. I react emotionally to greatness, and there is just so much greatness on that docuseries.
Loved the deep, introspective look at Irvin and I really revisited the pain of watching each of the triplets retire individually. Especially the bit where Emmitt is discussing his first visit to Texas Stadium as a Cardinal and how out of place he felt in the visitor's locker room. I also have a new found respect for Switzer. He was completely installed to fail, and he somehow didn't run that train completely off the tracks.
You can tell all these years later that Troy is still absolutely incensed by the Jimmy/Jerry divorce. The line "Jerry was learning on the job on my time" made me feel for #8.
I really wish there would have been more coverage on the last 30 years, since that too will be a huge part of Jerry's legacy once he is dead and gone. But in the grand scheme of things, the last 30 years wouldn't really make for great television. Not a whole lot of gambling, risks, and calculated moves to make the team better during this current Hell that we're in.
