In the wake of the success of the Michael Jordan ten-part documentary “The Last Dance,” ESPN is now planning something similar for NFL legend Tom Brady titled “Man In The Arena”.
The nine-episode multi-platform series will be developed with Brady’s 199 Productions and Religion of Sports and is targeting an airing next year Gotham Chopra will direct the series which aims to be Brady’s first-hand account of the most iconic moments of his NFL career, including each of his nine Super Bowl appearances as quarterback of the New England Patriots.
Also it will take the time to examine smaller, seemingly insignificant instances that became pivotal events and paved the path of the future Hall of Famer’s journey. Connor Schell, a veteran of the “30 for 30” series and executive producer of “The Last Dance,” is executive producing.
I have quoted Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech since I saw it painted on our weight room wall at UM in 1995. It’s a constant reminder to ignore the noise, buckle my chinstrap, and battle through whatever comes my way.
