The Larry Holmes/Muhammad Ali one is great/depressing even if you're not that into boxing.

I recommend June 17 -> Escobars -> The U, for maximum uplift

El Gallinero Gros posted:I love Run Ricky Run and Once Brothers. I cried during Once Brothers, such an emotional film. And Run Ricky Run is all over the place, but that's kinda appropriate given how Ricky's life has been since he went pro. It's possible they could have rallied around him and embraced him like they did with Iverson.

Zogo posted:I'd like to see more topics going back further in time. Just about every story has featured a post-1980 subject. Two of the tennis episodes went back into the 70s and the Steinbrenner one but that's about it. The original intent was to cover stories that had occurred in sports since ESPN's founding, so it's largely intentional. I'm sure now that they've expanded the "brand" a bit they'll be willing to do older stories.

Jack's Flow posted:The NBA does offer such orientation programs on financial education, but most players simply can't be bothered to show up. If I was just drafted after spending a year in college that I didn't want to spend in the first place, why the gently caress would I volunteer to go to another class?

Watched the Bo documentary for the first time today. Loved except for that one part that I'm sure bugged the poo poo out of everyone else.

sportsgenius86 posted:The Spirits doc will own because Marvin Barnes owns quote:The flight leaves Louisville at 8 pm and is scheduled to arrive in St. Louis at 7:56 pm. Upon reading the flight itinerary [Barnes] becomes confused and asks how can this be, someone breaks down the time zones and how St. Louis is an hour behind Louisville. [Barnes] says that they can cancel his ticket because “I ain’t gettin’ on no time machine!” He proceeded to rent a car for the trip.

I thought Chris Webber didn't do the Fab Five thing because he was banned from being associated with Michigan until this year.

Benne posted:"Swoopes" premieres tonight at 8PM ET. It's directed by Hannah Storm, which should be interesting. Caught it in a bar. Wasn't the greatest thing I'd ever seen but I appreciated the attention to the schism Swoopes made within the lesbian community. It looked like any other standard ESPN documentary, though, which was disappointing. I know Hannah Storm isn't a director but yeesh. All talking heads and previously seen archive footage.

Any TV deals the NHL has picked up are almost entirely due to a broadcasting arms race rather than competence on Bettman's part.GD_American posted:that sure is a funny way to misspell losing Also this.

Anybody know when the next airing is? I caught the first 30 minutes or so and then my friends wanted to go to the bar and I was too embarrassed to say I was watching a figure skating documentary

The Price of Gold was really good and it's something I have vague memories of as a kid. I wish they had somehow gotten Gillooly or Kerrigan on camera for the interview (but Gillooly's gone underground and Kerrigan gave NBC the exclusive iirc). E: Also it was on Netflix like a week after it aired
