the iverson one was tremendous
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 14 April 2010 04:30 (fourteen years ago) link
this one on roto baseball is godawful
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
this is what i heard
― artie flange (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link
idk maybe that was y espn aired it on 4/20
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
true -- i don't get why they would do reenactments, like, at all
― artie flange (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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?
― treefell, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
i think i missed that one? idk i also missed the AI one
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link
The Baltimore one is FANTASTIC. xp
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link
another pretty great one -- always loved ricky, so glad i still get to root for him
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:07 (fourteen years ago) link
looking fwd 2 watching that one, i loved the AI one btw, had honestly forgotten abt a lot of that history
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:37 (fourteen years ago) link
I dvr'ed the Ricky one. Watching it in the morning.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:55 (fourteen years ago) link
both the ricky one & the AI one benefit greatly from the insertion & analysis of the director
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Ricky one was great; dude comes off like a dick and a vvv bright guy and a man intrigued with himself and his world.
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 03:40 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 29 April 2010 15:04 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that can't be healthy in any sense of the word
― ibaka flocka flame (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 29 April 2010 15:49 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― ibaka flocka flame (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 2 May 2010 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― 5-hour energon cube (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 11 May 2010 20:30 (thirteen years ago) link
oh and bonus snoop dogg is hilarious
― 5-hour energon cube (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 11 May 2010 20:31 (thirteen years ago) link
is this on at the same time as the cavs game
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 11 May 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
they show it again on espn2 @ 11 iirc
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 04:59 (thirteen years ago) link
^ha just coming here 2 say that
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh hey, my cousin is one of the people who speaks in this episode.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Friday, 14 May 2010 05:14 (thirteen years ago) link
The OJ one was fucking incredible.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 03:09 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah "two escobars" was absolutely fantastic
― the boy boy young messi (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 03:12 (thirteen years ago) link

smh
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Thursday, 8 July 2010 23:37 (thirteen years ago) link
wtf I hate the Emmys
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 12 July 2010 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link
MJ one was cool
really interesting in the wake of the lebron thing tho
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it was rad
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link
i like how everyone was like "yeah he would've made the majors"
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:18 (thirteen years ago) link
is this the one that just aired?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:19 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:20 (thirteen years ago) link
next week's looks great too, about the US team at the little league world series that beat some unbeatable taiwanese team
I really want to see it -- hopefully I'll catch it later this week
― Mordy, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i had no idea he showed that much improvement. actually if you look at his stats from that year the one encouraging sign is that he walked quite a bit for someone who had never played.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:24 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i noticed that too
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:25 (thirteen years ago) link
you could just tell from the video clips -- i mean, obv it was selective but towards the end he was really staying back on the ball whereas in the beginning he was almost falling on his face
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Best ones so far for me have been the two escobars and run ricky run
― this isn't STRAWBERRY 0_o it's RAWBERRY (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:34 (thirteen years ago) link

― this isn't STRAWBERRY 0_o it's RAWBERRY (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:38 (thirteen years ago) link
two escobars was some real cinematic shit
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link
