Is it wrong that I wanted to punch Randy Phillips every time they cut to him talking about...anything?

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

laettner one tonight was pretty good. i'm not even sure a player like him could exist in the internet age.

i loooooved Laettner

hated him, but UNC fans honestly hated Bobby Hurley more at the time.
Laetner has always been an asshole, he enjoyed playing the role as much as anyone ever has. Great episode too.

ok, plz explain to the old man what the HELL this means

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

morbs i was exaggerating but i just cannot imagine the amount of thinkpieces and social media volume a white, good-looking, arrogant, dirty, skilled basketball player whose love of being the villain bordered on the perverse would generate.

not a 30 for 30 but the Lawrence Phillips doc on showtime fits the bill. very tragic, the letters he writes from prison def show his intelligence

Watched the LMU/Westhead/Gathers "Guru of Go" again last night, such an amazing story. Feel like if Moneyball could be made into a film, then this whole saga could be adapted for the big screen.

However: They didnt cover this in the doc & i still want to know if it’s really true
Vick is right handed. But throws left. Cuz the kids in his neighborhood made him throw left cuz that was the only way he wasnt unfair.— Beyonce has an uncle named Larry Beyince. Bruh.... (@DragonflyJonez) November 9, 2014

You know, funny you should bring this thread up -- earlier this morning I was all "Am I wrong? Was he in that one episode?" So I rewatched Broke, from 2012, and:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/RbfL78RT3_tuj4OkIbxAxsM3LkwfYul6fxhSgHcS6uAQn3YJ0f4c2PE1LvDnl12AfteMLHCuWGVnVdx68mEef_xvV8R9H6PBqnrEz2DgDFtcVExHurBx-UYITrs8phvZwA
And if you don't recognize him, google Ed Butowsky, then google Seth Rich. And I thought having Curt Schilling in this episode was the guy whose profile tanked the worst after this!

i watched itthe deepfakes were terribleso bad. whoever did the pete rozelle voice sounded like Andy Richter. It was uncanny valley hall of presidents crossed with Salvatore Leone from GTA Liberty City. Weird. Bad. Those bits felt like I was watching, idk, a Doritos Superbowl commercial. Like “let’s waste a bunch of money to badly execute an empty gimmick”

i saw of miracles and men last night. it's probably the best documentary i've ever seen in my entire life. definitely a must-watch for all hockey fans.
i haven't seen a lot of 30 for 30 documentaries, so i don't know how it compares to the rest. but in terms of other, non-30 for 30 documentaries, it's better than russian five. i'll probably watch red army later.
i'm also excited to watch into the wind. it's a little trite to say as a canadian, but terry fox has been an inspiration to me my entire life.

“Once Upon A Time In Queens” four-parter about the 86 Mets is up now on ESPN as an outsider it’s pretty great.i dont have much of a frame of reference for the Mets except the stuff i’ve gleaned from Morbs, Jon Stewart & the Simpsons, & other bits and pieces that i’ve tangentially absorbed, so its been cool piecing it all togetherthe music is really good
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 17 September 2021 01:31 (two years ago) link
Would watch that for sure--just bought an oral history of the '86 team.

i give schiraldi credit for participating, wouldve liked to hear from more red sox; also maybe some broadcasters? like could they not get costas who was in those nbc dugout shots when prepping for the sox celebration
overall it was p solid

NOT including Costas was a blessing imo but thats just me

Loved the mid 80s Mets, finally got around to watching this today. In some ways, this probably could've been shrunk to three episodes instead of four, but also feel like it could've gone far more in-depth than it did even with four hours to fill. Still hate Dykstra.
