yup that sucked

Howie Long rapping. I really could've went the rest of my life without seeing that.

Yeah. Crazy. When I drive through there on the 210 if I'm with one of my buddies we also laugh like "wtf?, the raiders were really gonna put a stadium here?". You can still see the big hole right off the freeway. Still nothing there. Just a big empty space. I think people still wouldn't know where Irwindale was if it wasn't for the Raiders saying they were gonna move there.

I can see how some people didn't like this one or thought it was boring but I thought it was entertaining enough. It probably helps that I'm a huge Ice Cube fan and I was growing up out here in So Cal during the time the piece covered. The whole Raider gear thing was a crazy phenomenon out here though.

Yeah this was every bit as dumb as I expected it to be

Ok, a couple more movies premiere in the next two weeks.

1) June 17, 1994 by Brett Morgen
Wednesday, June 16 @ 10pm Eastern on ESPN


2) The Two Escobars by Jeff and Michael Zimbalist
(Spanish) Monday, June 21 @ 9pm Eastern on ESPN Deportes
or
(Spanish w/ Subtitles?) Tuesday, June 22 @ 9pm Eastern on ESPN

Those both sound pretty good.

Greatly looking forward to both of those.

I'd be looking forward to the one on the Colombian Soccer team more if it wasn't in spanish.

There would be no point in dubbing a documentary like this, imo.

Here's an excerpt from the 30 for 30 website.

yeah, that does make sense.

Didn't the first one of these air like over a year ago? Isn't it more like 30 for 31 at this point. I just don't get why they didn't air a new one every Thurs night or something. Anyways, I've lost interest. The only one I was dying to see was the Steve Bartman one and I've given up on them showing that in my lifetime. That or I missed it, but who can keep up with it. The schedule for this like most things ESPN related is ******ed.

this was some of the worst **** to ever air on TV.

The Ricky Williams one. Worst movie ever. The Reggie Miller bull**** one. Who the hell cares : its Reggie Miller. The Guru of Go : Thought it would be good, as the Loyola team was ****ing unreal - but it ends with the Phoenix Mercury winning a WNBA title - what the ****.

Overall there is a reason the films were low budget.

June 17, 1994 debuts tonight

Lol I've been a little disappointed in these too. Iverson was awful. "The U" did not need to be 2 repetitive hours of "we're bad/awesome and ran bad in every game we lost". Ricky W. was boring.

Maybe this one will be ok. I remember watching the Rockets-Knicks and OJ split-screen but forgot all that other stuff was going on too.

Listening to the Bill Simmons podcast with the director and he says there was like a complete bench-clearing brawl that night in Game (5?) but they had cut away to the OJ stuff so no one ever saw it.

Director wanted to include it in tonight's film but NBA Films wouldn't release the footage.

Bump since this just started.

this has been phenomenal so far

We're framin' OJ, you in?

lolololololol the KC baseball announcers

"did you hear OJ is at the US Open, he has already put 2 under"

Griffey was on pace to break the record.

This:

...but not this:

Good Lord that was an awesome documentary.

That was A+

In spite of my brevity up thread, this was hands down the best of the series so far. So well done, even in its simplicity. Loved the editor's feed of Costas et al trying to figure out what to do. And if you need any more proof that we are all a bunch of lemmings, I present you the idiots who ran to watch the OJ car chase live in person.

Who was the M's commentator with that really dumb joke about OJ?

Chip Caray. If only someone had raised a stink America may have been saved from the Chip Caray era at Fox and TBS.
