Intriguing, though ultimately incomplete, look into the world of sports agenting. 10 years later, this feels like it could have been a great mini-series chronicling all the different aspects, but as a 50 minute feature it lacks considerably. I think it would've been more interesting to focus all 50 minutes just on ETL, but adding the parts of Venezuela and Luchs add more context to the grind. Nick Saban should be kicked in the head.

I wish it could have gone a little deeper, but it was a good documentary that showed a side of agents we rarely see. They aren't necessarily as evil as the media/teams like to portray them (but they aren't saints either).

Great documentary from Spurlock (as usual) about the role of the agent in professional sports. Lots of good insight into this world, although the final draft day sequence was something that we've seen many times before (Two Days in April, Through the Fire, and most notably Hoop Dreams).
