Rick posted:Vince McMahon really liked Mike Goldberg. Mainly because he believes Goldberg can handle all the resets and plugs that traditional guys (with personality who are good at calling wrestling) struggle with. I half-jokingly believe it was because Goldberg chants used to bug him and being able to rationalize that they were chanting for Mike would be totally his jam. Which is sadly incorrect, considering had he joined WWE he would have had to have used a different name because Vince hated Goldberg at the time.

Sash! posted:Sometimes college games don't go to commercial after a touchdown and goes right to the kickoff. I watch college football. Touchdown, break, PAT, break, Kick off, break, 1st and 10? For real though, the PAT/break/kick off/break is the worst because it's often like a touchback so you literally have like 5 seconds of quote unquote 'game' before going to commercial again. And that's why I prefer watching College games, as dumb as it sounds. And also considering they are literally unpaid slaves it's amazing that NCAA football feels less dirty than the NFL.

Good Dog posted:Kickoffs suck and I guess I wouldn't be opposed to them eventually getting rid of them. Maybe a team can elect to start at the 25 without even requiring a touchback. Kickoffs can't go away though because onside kicks need to exist, and it gives special teams players a chance to shine and get a rad return. Seems like a decent amount of injuries occur during kickoffs too since you have everyone running full speed at one another. Yeah I think it should probably just be "A kick that travels beyond 20 yards is a fair catch" to stop stupid poo poo happening. That also means that there is incentive to have a good kicker who can kick the ball to the 10 yard line accurately. Same for kicking the ball on fourth down as well.

iospace posted:As someone who wasn't watching the trial back the (or the miniseries), what did he do? Basically, he was the lead detective and by all accounts acted okay, didn't do anything terribly hosed up. Goes on the stand, all is good. I believe he's asked "have you ever said the N word" or something to that effect. He says no. It later comes out that he's provided background research for someone writing a book. His story is that he recorded these racist tirades and stories about fabricating evidence and dropping N bombs left and right in order to provide an accurate portrayal of a racist cop. Other people think that it's because he actually just is a horrible racist cop. The Miniseries portrays it as more likely being the former, the TV show puts it in the latter category. Anyway, he gets charged with perjury because he clearly lied on the stand about saying the N word. He also gets recalled to the stand in the OJ trial and starts taking the fifth. Defence asks him "did you plant evidence in the OJ investigation" he pleads the fifth and it looks shady as all loving hell. His argument is when you take the fifth you answer all questions that way you can't pick and choose. I'm not a US lawyer so I don't know the validity of that. Other people suggest he should have said "hell loving no I did not plant evidence in this case" and then return to taking the fifth on everything else. At least, that's my rough understanding of it.

Benne posted:Apparently the word going around is that ESPN is trying to re-negotiate cheaper contracts with guys, and the ones that can't or won't will be cut. So we probably haven't seen the last of the big-name layoffs. Wouldn't it be amazing if we are left with PTI and LeBatard as the only talking head shows. I would say maybe ATH for sentimental reasons but Papi wins out.

I watched PTI for the first time in like, 5 years last night. It's still good? And easy to see why it spawned so many imitators. PTI's biggest asset is that their takes are interesting but not like "hot takes" a lot of the time. And obviously the natural chemistry. The way that Mike is always calling into Tony's podcast and talking about how he calls him on the weekend makes it clear that they're actually friends which is kinda sweet, even if they're both giant idiot gas bags. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Nov 9, 2017 |

DJExile posted:The U and Pony Excess are both fantastic. ElwoodCuse posted:The Hillsborough one is powerful but difficult to watch. The "day of the OJ Simpson chase" one is amazing editing (it's 100% original footage) Agree on both. I also liked the Reggie Miller v New York Knicks one but that one is more entertaining and trivial. Four Falls of Buffalo was meant to be good, so was the the Miracle on Ice one, but that one was released at the same time as another doc on that topic I can't remember which was better or which one I watched. I hate Christian Laettner I enjoyed but I don't have a dog in that race. Slaying the Badger was great but that's because there aren't that many good Tour docs.

R.D. Mangles posted:Australia has a professional baseball league Not only that every major state have big grassroots leagues playing all year (I played in winter because I'd rather be wet and cold than die in 40 degree weather). El Gallinero Gros posted:I'm trying to picture Australians showing widespread interets in the NFL and it's kinda tough, given how much they love cricket, soccer and Aussie Rules rugby. Heck, I'd think even basketball and baseball might have bigger footholds down there. It's not mainstream, but the superbowl is on mainstream network TV every year and has for years. The Superbowl used to be this cult thing that they'd show on TV and after a while it just became something that's on TV. Also, there are 3 games each week on smaller station. I'm not saying everybody is into it but Australians like sport and more sport is more fun.
