soupsoup:

One of my favorite videos of all time. The ESPN book tells some backstory about the network trying to get Jimmy to appear and I recommend you check that out as well, you have no idea how sick he was while he was doing this. All you can sense is how much passion Jimmy had for life and the people in it.

I’ve seen this video hundreds of times and it still hits me just as hard as the very first.
