the-fab-five-500x291

Last week I made sure to DVR the latest ESPN documentary, a film about the University of Michigan's "Fab Five."  I loved it.  The film was extremely well done, nicely put together and told a very good story.  But  Jalen Rose bothered me through most of the two hours - he came off still very … [Read more...]
