Pete Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I really dig the 30 for 30 series. They are all on youtube. Some of my favorites are the Two Brothers one, the Steve Bartman one, Run Ricky Run- and just about every one I enjoy. Which are some of your favorites?

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I just watched the USFL one on Sunday. Pretty cool. All about the rise and fall of the league. Jim has a pretty significant role in it. Also, the one about the Soviet hockey team was really interesting. Story we all know from a different point of view.

KD in CA Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The U was great The U was great, even for a Canes hater. It really reminds you how great college football used to be before they started over legislating the game, adding the endless reviews, the chessy OT rule, etc. I've watched it a few times. The Two Escobars was outstanding, as was Hillsborough, which was frankly pretty hard to even watch. Those are probably the two best in my book. Others that were really good: Elway to Marino - it's hard to even imagine that draft occurring with today's media/web focus. Of Miracles and Men -- Soviet hockey program. Fernando Nation -- you forget what a big deal he was that rookie year and how much the Latin community embraced him. He was a true cultural icon Pony Excess The Fab Five -- another culture defining team Catching Hell -- Bartman You Don't Know Bo Requiem for the Big East -- college b-ball was never more entertaining than those early to mid years of the BE, and they killed it chasing football $.

ChevyVanMiller Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Elway to Marino was awesome. Also, I really enjoyed the one on Marcus Dupree (he was a real phenom) and the one on Bo Jackson. The recent, "I Hate Christian Laettner," was superb. I forgot how much hip hop played a role in the hatred of Duke and CL. Edited April 21, 2015 by ChevyVanMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 i constantly hear how good these are and i bet to date i have only sat through maybe 1 of them. I simply NEVER remember to look for them and never seek them out when I have the time to. I really need to get my ass in gear and binge watch these. I know I am missing out on some spectacular TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I bought the entire series (BluRay) on Amazon on sale for $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So many great ones The Best That Never Was was excellent(about Marcus Dupree, I enjoy learning more about some of the guys that didn't make it big that were projected to be mega stars and what their story is) The Jimmy Valvano one Jordan Rides The Bus Reggie Miller and Winning Time(as a huge fan of 90s era NBA I thought that was a great topic to cover) The one about Len Bias, although it was very sad The Bernie and Ernie show Elway to Marino as already mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Bo Jackson one is really good. It's amazing to hear about some of the things he did growing up and in college. Possibly the greatest athlete ever...if not for the hip injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I have yet to see a "30 for 30" that I did not like. IMHO, they are all really good. To quote Mrs. Lew, "Haven't you seen that 45 times before?" Yes, and this viewing will make 46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Bo Jackson one is really good. It's amazing to hear about some of the things he did growing up and in college. Possibly the greatest athlete ever...if not for the hip injury. Considering the changes in medicine over the past 20-plus years, it's unfathomable to think he played Major League Baseball after a hip replacement. And hit 29 home runs. Absolutely unreal.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Bo Jackson one is really good. It's amazing to hear about some of the things he did growing up and in college. Possibly the greatest athlete ever...if not for the hip injury. A buddy of mine was just raving about this one. I need to see it. My favorite ones so far are: 1) once brothers (about vlade divac and drazen petrovich) 2) requiem for the big east 3) I hate Christian laettner.

My Father won it in a call-in radio station contest when I used to live in Rochester. If I recall correctly, Bo didn't even end up playing in that game. Considering the changes in medicine over the past 20-plus years, it's unfathomable to think he played Major League Baseball after a hip replacement. And hit 29 home runs. Absolutely unreal. Amazing that he ran a 4.12 40 yard dash at 230 pounds. Defies physics. Edited April 22, 2015 by Johnny Hammersticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobesBLO13 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sorry no linky but I guess they're making one on OJ for the fall. It could be as long as five hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part of the OJ story that doesn't need a full-blown rehash is the 1994 trial and subsequent events. His story was pretty interesting before it got to that point.
