    ESPN 30 For 30

    Who loves these docs? I'm not a sports fan at all, but almost every time a new one comes out on Netflix I get sucked right in.

    Sports Illustrated on the Ric Flair doc, which will be set to air as early as Fall. Really looking forward to this, though I suspect some of it will be quite emotional and even hard to watch.

    I LOVE these as well. I'm a huge, huge football fan. I'll watch March Madness and NBA playoffs, but I don't follow them during regular season. Don't mind Hockey if it is on, and hate baseball... But I will watch any of these. They are so incredibly well put together. They make everything so interesting.

    There is currently one in production about the 94 - 95 Nebraska football team which I am endlessly excited to see. It is really going to challenge some Nebraska fans, though. Lots of behind the scenes fuckery going on in those, the Lawrence Phillips years.

    Too many to say which is my favorite but I always like citing Slaying The Badger. My knowledge of cycling began and ended with Lance Armstrong. This kind of opened my eyes as to the grueling aspects of the sport, and I came away with a lot of immediate respect for Greg LeMond.

    The 30 for 30 on Laettner was terrific.

    My favorite episodes so far are The Two Escobars, The U, You Don't Know Bo, Fernando Nation, and the Soccer Stories series with Hillsborough being my favorite of that bunch.

    Oh man I hope they interview Opie & Anthony about this. Good times being an intern there at the time all this madness was going down.

    The one about Magic Johnson made me cry.

    The one about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding was fucking bananas.

    Recently rewatched "Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL?" It's baffling to see a "businessman" like Trump implode an entire football league in the stupidest way possible. He forgoes all logic in a vain attempt to boost his own ego; then, after failure, shuns the league like a kid who loses interest in a toy.
