The docuseries is narrated by award-winning broadcaster Rich Eisen and features interviews, highlights, mic’d-up sound, and never-before-seen footage. Here is the synopsis of the upcoming Ware episode, No. 402:

An all-time great pass rusher, DeMarcus Ware’s compelling journey includes second chances and determination to get through adversity and into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The story began in a small Alabama town and included playing at Troy University before star turns in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos.

Ware was a devoted student of the game and an inspiring leader. Rising up from life-altering setbacks he persevered and earned a Super Bowl championship with Denver at the end of the 2015 season.

Here’s a sneak peek from the episode:

Ware, 42, won Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos following the 2015 campaign. He later retired following the 2016 season. The accomplished pass rusher ranks ninth on the NFL’s all-time sack list with 138.5 career sacks.

1 bettor cashed a million-dollar payout on the Chiefs-Bengals under 49

A million bucks is a fair trade for not a lot of points.

One lucky bettor will be walking away with quite a sum after betting the under on the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals facing off in the AFC championship.

Per VSiN’s Ben Fawkes, one MGM bettor put $1.2 million on the Chiefs and Bengals to hit the under 49 (-120), which was quite a risk with two of the most explosive NFL offenses set to trade barbs.

However, the game featured much more defense than expected and ended in Kansas City’s favor on a Harrison Butker field goal. The final score was 23-20, leaving the game three points behind the under, and leaving that MGM bettor with a big smile and full pockets.

It takes gumption to put that much money on the total underperforming in such a potentially touchdown-happy football game, but this bettor knew better.

The Chiefs will now be celebrating yet another AFC championship with Patrick Mahomes under center, while this bettor will be hoisting up a very lucrative payout.

With sports still in shutdown mode, sports gambling has also come to a screeching halt. In fact, the only college basketball line listed on BetMGM’s online platform is a future for who is going to take home the 2021 National Championship. Wisconsin is expecting to be in the mix for a Final Four berth next season as the Badgers return 88% of their minutes from this Big Ten Championship winning season. The returning core will be paired with a solid, six-man 2020 recruiting class. UW is primed for success. Vegas certainly agrees.

Wisconsin comes in at +1600 to win the 2021 National Championship, tied for the tenth-best odds. The +1600 number means that a ten dollar wager on the Badgers would yield $160 of profit. UW was not in the top 25 of BetMGM’s odds to win the natty at any point during the 2019-20 season, yet open as a top-10 favorite. It is clear that Vegas sees the potential in this Badger team. Currently, the co-favorites to win it all are Baylor and Gonzaga at +800. The only Big Ten team with better odds than Wisconsin is Iowa, who cash in at +1500.
