ESPN 30 for 30

[BTX]

Anyone watch these documentaries? I think they are really done well.

Most are really good. This season hasn't been as good as the first season. And some of them don't really fit like the Alabama v. Auburn documentary. Not a bad documentary, but that should be more for a special ESPNU does instead of 30 for 30. The same for 'There's No Place Like Home.' It's not a bad documentary, but the 'event' that revolves around it is not important enough in the scope of sports in the past 30 years and it came off like a hype machine for KU basketball.

I'm personally afriad that 30 for 30 will have more pieces like 'There's No Place Like Home' given how ESPN loves to pump in fanboyism throughout their entire company. Again, they should save that stuff for ESPNU.

My top-10 favorites are:

1. The Two Escobars
2. Into The Wind
3. The Band That Wouldn't Die
4. Run Ricky Run
5. 9.79*
6. Unguarded
7. June 17, 1994
8. The Best That Never Was
9, Pony Excess
10. The Marinovich Project

I didn't hate Once Brothers, I just wasn't really into it. It was a little too slow and methodical for my tastes, but I did appreciate them going back into how special that Lithuania team was.

The U stunk to high heaven. It could have been great because it was an important part in changing the landscape of college football. Instead it turned into a marketing piece for the University of Miami and glorified things that were not glorious.

Catching Hell should have been great because it has so much never seen before footage. Unfortunately the documentary was directed by a Red Sox fan who crowbarred the entire Bucker error into the story because like most Red Sox fans, they have to tell the world how they know suffering as a sports fan better than anybody else. The fact is that Buckner's ground ball had nothing in common with Bartmann.

I didn't hate Catching Hell, I was just disappointed in how the director tried to interject his fandom of the Red Sox into the story because it turned something that was great into 'good, but sloppy and puzzling at points.'

What they did to Bartmann was terrible.

I hope they lose forever.
