Netflix "Watch Instantly" - Page 566 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Three that stand out for me (besides the Laettner one, which I think is great).

Catching Hell

Jordan Rides the Bus

Four Days in October

They should do 30 for 30s on Ted Williams and Vin Scully imo

Catching hell is a really great look into the idea of "do sports really matter as much as we like to think they do"

would also highly recommend:

"June 17, 1994" (the day of chasing OJ's white bronco)
"Broke" (how athletes blow through their cash)
"Hillsborough" (English soccer stadium tragedy)
and "Big Shot" (John Spanos bought a hockey team and it was a big level)

all are well worth the time.

Lots of old school gambling stuff (Doyle even makes a brief appearance). People that weren't around then can't appreciate how big the The NFL Today show on CBS was. It started in 1961 as a 15-minute remote pregame show. It was number 1 in its time slot 18 straight years. There was basically nothing else as far as pre and post game football coverage. No internet. No 24/7 cable news or sports shows (until CNN launched in 1980). The documentary covers 1975–1988.

Our minister used to let church out 15 minutes early during football season so we could get home and watch it.

don't think that's true, at least not the ones im referring to.

alot of my fav comedians like burr, jefferies n jeselnik have exclusive deals with netflix.

not sure which specials are on epix, but I would be interested in knowing which if any are exclusive to epix.

What level of hell is this where Irv Cross is long retired yet Brent Musburger's stench still wafts across American playing fields?

Just giving to the people what the people want. Or Irv Cross got caught in a hooker ponzi scheme.

I'm a sucker for time travel stories or anything similar.

So, I was certain to like Time Lapse. It's 6.4 rating on IMDB seems low to me.

You do know that Netflix uses your IP address to determine what country you're in, right? AFAIK, changing your DNS won't do anything.

Pretty sure you need a proxy server in the US to give you an American IP address.
