tbc that piece is referring to his second wife, who was like 19 during the last season.

Didn't know that, either. Maybe she's not even allowed to be mentioned in newspaper pieces explaining why the second wife's not mentioned.

ugh at brady's last dance if for no other reason than the GUY IS STILL PLAYING, it makes no sense to do a jumbo retrospective on an active player

yupš¦[Coming in 2021 ... Man in the Arena: @TomBradyšø pic.twitter.com/sObLdTXbIlšøā ESPN (@espn) May 21, 2020šø]š¦not sure what the audience for this is outside of Pats fans. Brady is just not a compelling figure at all, the Pats dynasty is extremely boring and marred with stupid cheating scandals, and the vast majority of the country actively cheered for them to lose. plus being buddy buddy with Trump prolly ain't gonna help sell this

The āextremely boring Patriots dynastyā featured a star tight end who was literally a serial killer.

i think if a doc was as well made as this one and the subjects were as candid a lot of teams wld be worth doing if prob not as good as the bulls

The cheating scandals are super interesting and heās extremely involved with one of them. Also heās the greatest football player of all time.
true but they were covered nonstop while they were going on and I can't see Brady signing off on a doc that even hints that he might be guilty so I would guess they'll just be papered over or framed as a challenge Brady had to overcome
I agree he's the best ever, in fact his legacy is maybe even more impressive than Jordan's since football dynasties are more difficult due to injuries and single-elimination playoffs and he managed to do it twice while being one of the oldest players in the league. But Patriots football isn't really that fun to watch, most of their deep playoff runs involved them getting a bunch of timely breaks vs. way more interesting teams, plus they just so happen to be the least-penalized team during the playoffs by a wide margin. More importantly virtually everyone outside of MA rooted for them to lose, nothing like the Bulls where almost everyone around the world was a fan

the reason this worked is cos it was 20 years later and mj let the legend grow over that time. he's m/l stayed out of the news over that time. i dont care what brady has to say while hes still playing, or even a year or two removed from it. he's already done his own documentary on facebook or whatever that was.
apparently dwyane wade released a documentary during this bulls one? lol you gotta let this stuff simmer for a while ffs
― Spottie, Thursday, 21 May 2020 20:00 (three years ago) link
if they had to do a football one I think Brett Favre would be fun. Packers were garbage for like 3 decades before he came along, he had a pretty unique style of quarterbacking, some pretty crazy highs and lows, and a bunch of memorable teammates. Plus the whole Aaron Rodgers/insane Vikings season thing which I still resent him for but even now seems scripted

Karl Malone got a 13-year-old pregnant when he was 20.

it would be really funny if late 90s free agency could have somehow been covered by modern journalism and social media.
there would be like 10 teams a year saying "oh yeah we're just going to sign [3 highly desirable free agents]"

There was a brief moment where it seemed like Duncan was signing with Orlando. It got really close.

If Brady starts playing linebacker as well, shooting some gaps, getting a strip sack then throwing a TD pass, then maybe a documentary

that's why hoops are the best. they hype up "Brady vs. Manning!" but the two are never on the field at the same time. ditto for big name pitcher matchups or MVP outfielders on opposite teams

Finished the episode where he tears up. "That's how I played. You don't want to play that way? Then don't play that way". Read the emotions there arising as regret over the "price of winning".

This was Jordan's project, right? Seems a little petulant. I only dipped in and out of the story as it was happening, in the 1990s, but I didn't feel the film was unfair to Pippen, or any less fair than you would expect knowing it's Jordan's project. You can adjust as necessary.
