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 “extremely boring Patriots dynasty” featured a star tight end who was literally a serial killer.

they already did that movie tho lol

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

read somewhere that Venus and Serena would be worthy subjects of a long doc series

anyway with how successful this one was im sure well get to see more

showtime lakers seems like a no brainer

The cheating scandals are super interesting and he’s extremely involved with one of them. Also he’s 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

well it is not gonna be on my tv thats for goddamn sure

gross

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

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

damn Karl is cool af

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

Fuck that dude.

Yeeesh I didn't know that

Thing with the Patriots is that it was never any fun

Showtime Lakers would be amazing

We watched a showtime lakers vs celtics finals recently and my son was shocked at how boring it was

His son from that statutory rape is former NFL player Demetrius Bell.

x-post

yikes, also was unaware of that

karl malone is also presently likely knees deep in a 8chan qanon thread from what i recall of his politics

he's country, and not in the fun way

he seems like more of a nevertrumper, from my twitter sleuthing. Follows a lot of Huntsmans

What I meant to say was Karl is NOT cool af lol

lol

Jamal Crawford: Jerry Krause’s rebuild plan was sign Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill https://t.co/HTvqLKN0Sb

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) May 22, 2020

tbf that's a great plan

I guess it's what Orlando was going for too: https://www.sbnation.com/2018/2/15/17018358/tim-duncan-magic-orlando-free-agency-2000-grant-hill-tracy-mcgrady-reaction

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]"

Orlando got two out of three, not bad

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

I agree that you can’t really do a great novak/roger/rafa documentary because aside from Novak’s somewhat odd religious beliefs they’re just three nice guys who have played 40+ classic matches vs each other

You could do a documentary about the life of Phil Taylor, the greatest darts player of all time who also is a total douchebag who commits sex crimes

Tiger Woods one would be awesome though, every now and then I remember that he won the Masters a year ago which still blows my mind

Tom Brady only played for ~50% of these games he claims to have won fairly

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

Next one should be Gretzky. But they make the doc, film dustin johnson watching it in his home, then release that footage on hulu.

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".

would be in favor of the wIlliams sisters, tiger, russell v. wilt, and giving jon bois a bigger budget to do whatever he wants

Yes

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.

The Jon Bois Mariners project is definitely the best sports documentary series of Spring 2020

i really don't understand any objection to pippen's portrayal. everything in there about him has been well-known for years.

MJ did call Pip selfish. But just for that one decision and it wasn't clear that he still feels that way. I also don't think Pip comes off badly in the doc, and it seems like if anything ILH likes him more after watching TLD.

tbf it was literally selfish to delay a surgery so that he would miss half the season. and none of the players really had a problem with it! but yeah, that was selfish.
