Compelling TV, yes. Maybe a tad exploitative though.

Glad Jordan was ok in the end. Scary moment for the whole Tulane team, with flashbacks to Devon's injury in Tulsa.

I was feeling somewhat the same way, you could feel the apprehension after that incident took place with young Mr. Sullen.

ESPN never misses an opportunity to use someone for the sake of ratings, but, no one is questioning Devon's genuine concern for his fallen teammate. The elation & relief throughout the stadium and those in TV land watching was equally as authentic when Mr. Sullen got to his feet, dazed and confused, but otherwise alright.

A great article from Sports Illustrated about an update on Devon. He is an amazing man and I wish him nothing but the best.
