There's been no golf other than Arnold Palmer in the 6/17/94 doc, getting away from Tigermania, Casey Martin v. PGA Tour could be interesting and give guys like Jack and Arnold a chance to walk back what they said at the time. Plus there is a Tiger connection with both attending Stanford.

Latest 30 for 30 short up, on Muhammad Ali's trip to Iraq to bargain with Saddam Hussein to release U.S. prisoners before Desert Storm began. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8849155/the-latest-offering-new-30-30-documentary-series It's not bad, but it's one sided with "Look how great this thing Ali did" and only a brief mention what consequences there could have been had things gone sour. Still worth watching.

TUS posted:A bunch of 30 for 30's went up on Netflix instant watch. A couple of the recent ones too, I saw Broke and Benji listed along with some originals like Straight Outta LA. Just watched Broke. Had one eye on the TV and one eye on my Mint account the entire time. Please tell me I'm not the only one who did that.

I thought the Manning one was an SEC deal, since they've been cranking out their own docs.

Twitter account of someone who was there. Going through his experiences now and it's obvious he's deeply affected by the tragedy. https://twitter.com/TonyEvansTimes

Bliggers- posted:I'm extremely disturbed having watched this. That was a very, very angry documentary. A number of films in the series have been about tragedy, but take on a more somber, reflective tone and somewhat ask "what if" during the presentation. That's not the case here; there's a slow burn that builds as a horrible event happens and the coverup becomes worse than the crime, and it rises and rises until the whole "Justice For the 96" chant that's just two decades of righteous anger, fury, rage pouring out. There's no comparison for what's occurred here in the States. We've had fans fall to their deaths and kill each other and get into fights with the athletes and poison trees, but never on such a scale and where they would be held responsible in a situation where it wasn't their fault.

Benne posted:Total homer post here, but I'd love to see a 30-for-30 on the '95 Mariners and the whole context surrounding that season. I once had a film idea that showed how the Mariners '95 run directly led to the Sonics being stolen, but Sonicsgate pretty much covered everything well enough and no one big is touching that while David Stern lives.

Crazy Ted posted:It's basically part of a series of shorts on eccentric sports fans. It's alright. Apparently that tabletop football still gets made because I saw it at Games by James in the Mall of America on Wednesday. I assume this one's titled Midwest.mov?

The Two Escobars and 6/17/94 are two that I would show to anyone, regardless of their sports fandom and/or lack thereof. Both should be watched before you do anything else and this includes eat, sleep or poo poo.

If there's any justice in the world it'll be the day before the Super Bowl.

Spring Break My Heart posted:I don't know why the point of comparison is OJ, considering they do a lot of documentaries and it's not the same people. Because all of their previous documentaries were self-contained, with the moderate exception of The U. OJ was a magnum opus and deserving of the five parts, it's the Ken Burns' Baseball of our time. Now we get an eight-part documentary of a team's fanbase for reasons of........? It's not just wondering why this doc needs to exist, but why it needs/demands to be in eight parts. Unless it's like ten minutes a pop, why is this being done and why is it being done in this way?
