This means there will probably be a 30 for 30 by the end of the year. As of now, Manti has not cooperated.

I'd love to hear what really happened in that ordeal

I'm willing to bet, if all of the truth surrounding that situation came to light, that Swarbrick and Kelly would come out looking like the assholes and not Manti.

Have they done a 30 for 30 without the subject’s cooperation

Assuming the subject was alive, of course.

That he knew it was a hoax and played along?
To exploit pain and vulnerability for ratings.

The story is lurid, regrettable, and deeply weird. There is no need to revisit it.
I think we're a little biased

it's good TV for all the reasons you mention.

Also allows ESPN to revisit the 0-1 disgrace for ND.

I think that is the piece. When did Manti know.....

The second will be, how long did ND sit on it.
