The Man in the Middle of Bountygate

To this point, Bountygate has been long on headlines and short on specifics. Who did what exactly? Is there any proof of actual wrongdoing? Does it really matter anyway? Michael J.

SunSentinel.com by David Hyde

“Run, Ricky, Run…the most surprisingly thought-provoking entry in ESPN Film’s “30 for 30” series thus far.”

“The powerful documentary is a stripped down, no holds barred take on his story, which leaves you shocked and enlightened.”

“Like documentaries ranging from Woodstock (1970) to Capturing the Friedmans (2003), Run, Ricky, Run is defined in part by our awareness that the story had yet to be fully defined when shooting began.

The close personal relationship between the filmmaker and the main subject troubled me a bit, but those doubts were quickly quelled as Pamphilon repeated[ly] pushed Williams to be completely forthcoming and often challenged his increasingly odd world view. The most noteworthy of these exchanges was the moment when Pamphilon posited the notion that Williams took amphetamines to ease his comeback to the league in 2006.”
