Cocaqine Cowboys is crazy fun. The first two minutes are some literal WTF-idness bad filmmaking but make it past that and it's pretty sweet

enjoying this reg miller episode

its basically a sports "i love the 90s" tho, idk if im learning much that i didnt already know but its still cool 2 recall

yeah it's def dope imo

can't wait for steal to come up

that was good! i agree not overly enlightening but it's fun to remember those weird no-jordan years.

I HATED that Knicks team. Pat Riley schemed to win with what he had, but that was the fuggliest team to watch play. I think it set basketball back ten years.

watchin dis now

YESSSSSS

i'm geeked as hell about that but it's gonna be a letdown obv after the incomparable first entry

Yeah, tbh, the best thing about The U since 1992-ish is the players who have come out of the system and gone on to the NFL.

love that reggie miller doc so much

loyola doc was fantastic

damn, when was that one on

the iverson one was tremendous

this one on roto baseball is godawful

this is what i heard

the target audience is p. much someone who has no idea what fantasy baseball is & they do insane re-enactments w/ WACKY #s & GRAFIX flying around the screen nonstop

idk maybe that was y espn aired it on 4/20

true -- i don't get why they would do reenactments, like, at all

I watched the Gretzky one on ESPN UK, thought it was OK. Apparently the one we get next week is a Barry Levinson one about Baltimore. Is that any good?

i think i missed that one? idk i also missed the AI one

The Baltimore one is FANTASTIC. xp

another pretty great one -- always loved ricky, so glad i still get to root for him

looking fwd 2 watching that one, i loved the AI one btw, had honestly forgotten abt a lot of that history

I dvr'ed the Ricky one. Watching it in the morning.

both the ricky one & the AI one benefit greatly from the insertion & analysis of the director

Ricky one was great; dude comes off like a dick and a vvv bright guy and a man intrigued with himself and his world.

yea loved the ricky one. it's fairly nuts that those dudes he happens to bro down with while he was living in cali burn down like an oz per poker game

yeah that can't be healthy in any sense of the word

Just watched the Ricky Williams one.

I think it's odd that they left out the fact that my high school played his high school in the city championships and we won 13-0, holding him to 46 yards.

I guess there are some truths that are still too painful for him.

i didn't plan on watching all 2 hours of The U (for the third time) tonight BUT HERE WE ARE

tonight's ice cube directed one on the raiders/nwa/80s la is pretty good. it doesnt really go beyond "hey these things happened all at the same time" but it really is a crazy time that can hold up a doc. plus al davis is o_O in hd y'all

oh and bonus snoop dogg is hilarious

is this on at the same time as the cavs game

they show it again on espn2 @ 11 iirc

Pretty sure I saw Cube give a look of straight fear in one of cutaways. Davis is the scariest human lizard corpse I've ever seen.

^ha just coming here 2 say that

Oh hey, my cousin is one of the people who speaks in this episode.

The OJ one was fucking incredible.

yeah, really amazing. I couldn't watched five hours of that.

* could've

damn iPhone

Wow, "The Two Escobars"

I watched the World Cup game between Colombia and the US in '94, and it was kind of a big deal to me. The US team was staying in the hotel where my sister worked, so I met a bunch of those guys on that team. But meanwhile, in Colombia...

Just saw that one last night...blew my mind. So used to the meme of sports triumphing over struggle, and just seeing the way that played out...I can't stop thinking about it. I knew a little, but I never knew the full story of the team or Andres Escobar.

The OJ story was pretty incredible too.

This series...man, they should be getting a sackful of Emmys for some of these stories.

yeah "two escobars" was absolutely fantastic
