Peter Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I recorded earlier in the evening, and I could not stop watching this once everyone else went to bed. As a result, I am still awake at 3:14 a.m. For those of you that do not know, it is a documentary about Columbia that focuses on Pablo Escobar (the infamous drug dealer) and Andres Escobar (no relation - the former captain of the Columbian national soccer team that was murdered back in Columbia after his own goal against the US in the World Cup). It was fascinating and compelling. I thorougly recommend it if you have an opportunity to see it.
LewPort71 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I recorded this show on the DVR....Heard many good things about this show. And my DVR has ability to record two shows at same time. So ESPN and ESPN 2 will BOTH at 9:30 this AM. I'd like not to hear the results and see the recordings 'fresh', but that ain't gonna happen...I'll listen to the matches on XM radio. GO USA

There you'll get some of the back story.
bills44 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Similar to what the OP said, I turned this on, and couldn't stop watching. Fantastic documentary.
linksfiend Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Similar to what the OP said, I turned this on, and couldn't stop watching. Fantastic documentary. I've enjoyed all the "30 for 30" films I've seen so far. But I am falling behind. I saw all of the first 12 but missed the last 4. I just set the DVR for two of those "The Two Escobars" and "June 17th, 1994" but will have to wait a few weeks to set the DVR for "The 16th Man" and "Straight Outta LA" http://30for30.espn.com/schedule.html

They have been excellent, for the most part. The only one that I thought was sub-par, was the Los Angeles Raiders documentary. I thought it was very interesting, and enjoyed it, but, it was a little too long for the subject...it was kind of repetitive. Can't wait to see the Escobars episode.
stevestojan Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 The OJ one was good for the fact that you didn't realize how much of the sporting world we missed because that waste of flesh was driving around with a gun to his head.
