His older brother, Tom wrote a great book on Chris about 10 years ago; the Chris Farley show. It covers a number of things that the A&E show did not (for example, Rock begged Chris not to do the legendary Chippendale's skit).

Most of us do.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Great book. Read it a couple years ago on vacation. Quick read

Watching it now.

It goes into way more depth about his Marquette years than most other documentaries have.

The Marquette part basically told by Pat Finn, whom I have followed since his Second City Northwest days (when I happened to go to a show and saw in his bio that he was a Marquette grad).  I ran into him at Caffrey's a couple of years ago.  I said, "Hey, Pat FInn!" and he got this look on his face like, oh my God, I do not remember this person at all. I told him to relax, you don't know me, I am just a fan.

We talked a little bit about his career and Chris. Nice guy who still clearly misses him.
Have some patience, FFS.

I watched this afternoon and it is well done.
"I hate everything about this job except the games, Everything. I don't even get affected anymore by the winning, by the ratings, those things. The trouble is, it will sound like an excuse because we've never won the national championship, but winning just isn't all that important to me.” Al McGuire
