[jjuve]

i'm almost certain it wasn't a true life episode. it was like a 1 time 3 hour special that was similar to the "made" series but without thecoaches and more serious. there was also a guy on there who was a rookie cop if i remember correctly.

I have a hazy memory of the episode, I just remember being like "this guy's a %+*%@+! clown". Did MTV follow him on draft night?? That'd bepretty sad t.v.
