I haven't seen this week's yet -- the No Mas one last week was pretty good, except for the cheeseball meeting where they had to stand in a boxing ring and talk to each other. So dumb.

did anyone else watch the Tonya Harding ep?
pretty good retelling, though not really a whole ton of new info. I think the best thing it did was get you right in on side of being sympathetic towards Tonya, leading you up to that last 20 minutes where she basically undoes all that goodwill right on camera. Just that couple of bitter remarks and that's all you need to keep right on wondering
But no matter what her involment was, Gilooly sounds like a grade A creep. And her mom? jesus.

yeah, it was excellent. real american story. just wish they'd have gotten kerrigan to talk. she looks like the embodiment of the early 90's to me.

when she said she went up to nancy at the training session & apologized & was so spitting mad that nancy didnt say anything to herthat was unsettling, because it seemed to suggest that she had no emotional understanding of what happened. that moment to me she really underlined the suggestion that maybe she had fabricated her own reality out of whole cloth, like her friend suggested at the end.

Can't believe the bullshit Isiah had to go through for concurring w/ Rodman on Bird. Especially infuriating that the Boston media got all butthurt about it -- that city was openly and relentlessly racist towards Bill Russell, and now they start whining about "reverse racism"?

boz seems like a thoughtful dude, obv rick reilly is detestable but I prob lean toward believing reilly that boz loved/went along w/ the book and playing on disfunction at OU to move units at the time. overall, wish this was a touch less polished, maybe go into his family life more now but def watchable

moss's highlights from marshall are dope, there was previously a penalty for hurdling a dude? idgi
― johnny crunch, Friday, 14 November 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
i finally saw this today
yeah i thought that was pretty lol that you couldn't hurdle guys, like why it's dope
I love Randy and I always will. I have always had a soft spot for him, and I really dug seeing his backstory laid out and contextualized a little better.
all of those highlight clips, every single one, he's fucking MAGIC. we got to see him play a few early games with the Raiders before he got mad & bent out of shape, it was pretty rad to see him play even then. and my favorite thing is that he'd always give props to the linemen who blocked for him after a touchdown

I swear in that U Part 2 episode, I have never noticed until now that Antrel Rolle has a head/neck shaped like a celery stalk with ears. He looked like a veggie tales character! so weird
I didn't like this episode much. The first hour+ felt like a recruiting video, like okaaaaaaaaaaay we get it jesus fucking christ and constantly playing the music in the background drove me nuts
idk
maybe you have to buy into the U to be into it, idk

i just love how much laettner leans into his assholishness. it makes him even more hateable because he's so blasé, but the fact that he knows THAT too...he's got it down to an artform, like he's made of douche. as a wrestling fan you just gotta love a heel as meticulously honed as he is
and goddamn he was cute. that made it so much worse lol
