Randy Moss is definitely the coolest single Pat during the run but they didn't win with him.

Spygate, Ballghazi, Robert Kraft, Putin stealing a Super Bowl ring, and Tarrrrrump? Who wants to watch that? 52.8% of the city of Boston

Phil Jackson's book about the Kobe/Shaq era makes me confident there's a good long doc covering that era. Might be hard to get people to talk about it though since no one from the Lakers org or Shaq is ready to talk about how awful Kobe was to deal with at that time for everyone and it's hard to tell that story without that.

I'm not sure it could ever be done "accurately", for lack of a better word, once Kobe died and especially the manner. I'm struggling to think of a documentary of a dead popular athlete/pop culture person that was very critical and showed them in a negative light, aside from people sort of universally agreed upon as bad, like the singer from Mayhem (stretches the definition of pop). Maybe a generation or two later it could happen, but at that point you lose the direct voices and experiences.

Pels' contract with Bally Sports is up at the end of the season. They are looking at different providers for next season, ostensibly to make it far easier for locals to watch the games (Bally is only available in like a quarter of the homes in NOLA, iirc). https://twitter.com/cclark_13/status/1494755532514672645?s=20&t=ML9H4xmms8nMjgB2Y9bw7A

Best of 7 feels great for the diehards and the fans of the teams, but not so much for casuals. A single game Final has so much built in drama and a low amount of investment. I’m a huge hockey fan but I’ll only make it a point to watch potential elimination games for example. Or as a casual basketball fan, the March Madness final over anything but Game 7s in NBA. And soccer as well: a FA Cup final or Championship Promotion final is gonna be more attractive to me than most EPL games.

Yeah unfortunately the circumstances and his young age at the time of death likely means we’ll never get a relatively “honest” warts and all telling. Often you don’t get that type of story or documentary until everyone is old and the egos have faded or they’re simply not worried about blowback.

John Ourand posted:Amazon has made a little bit of noise about scheduling a game on Black Friday. A Black Friday game would complement Amazon’s e-commerce business, and it would be similar to its Premier League strategy in Britain, where it carries all of the league’s Boxing Day games. But this store may be closed; the NFL has been lukewarm to this idea. Feel like that last line is just a hilarious understatement

The NFL would 1,000% put games on Friday night if they thought there was money in it. The Big Ten’s been trying to make it A Thing for a couple years now. Not sure the success it’s had beyond when they put Ohio State on it but yeah

I don’t know about other states, but thanksgiving weekend is the high school football finals in Illinois. Not that this would necessarily stop the NFL, but there is a lot of competition on Friday and Saturday.

Could be closer, see USC-UCLA for example. and back in the day they used to make both schools and fans come up to Portland and play it at Civic Stadium / modern day Providence Park). But that's bounced between Black Friday and the Saturday depending on scheduling. and also I would imagine within two or three years of Texas joining the SEC, we'll have that game (they swear it's not a rivalry) back on Thanksgiving day as well.
