...clubbing of Nancy Kerrigan's knee by a compatriot of rival figure skater Tonya Harding was one of the weirdest and ugliest moments in sports history. The man who hatched the plan with Harding's ex-husband Jeff Stone: her beefy bodyguard, Brian Sean Griffith.

Onscreen, death actually has meaning that it often lacks in life. Conflict isn't complicated. Motivation is clear. "With 300, the why is obvious...
...came to college to play basketball?). While these high-profile athletes generate fan interest—something Harvard could use a bit more of—and sometimes lead their teams to great success during their short stints, they mostly evoke a feeling of free agency in its ugliest sense.
