Yeah pearl clutching was at an all-time high over that ND/Miami game. John's a pretty interesting character and I don't think that will be an ultra exciting episode or anything but he's had some serious demons. He still gets huge galleries anytime he shows up at events though and comes off as far more of an everyman than most PGA pros did at the time. Phi Slama Jama is going to 100% own.

NFL ratings in general are down. One really good theory I've heard is that the election is causing it: http://www.si.com/tech-media/2016/10/04/nfl-ratings-presidential-election-donald-trump-hillary-clinton Of course, in ESPN's case the bad matchups don't help e: It's the night games suffering the most, as shown here: https://twitter.com/mulvihill79/status/783665297844760581 Vertical Lime fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Yeah I can understand the debate just curb-stomping a terrible matchup, in terms of viewers, but holy poo poo First Take's ratings dropped hard https://twitter.com/SportsTVRatings/status/783132219711696896 https://twitter.com/SportsTVRatings/status/783133766277435392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

He has really slipped (being 83 doesn't help) so I don't care much for this decision. e: I saw on twitter that some 83 year old announcer signed a new agreement earlier this week, but I can't remember who and I guess it wasn't Marv. Also, why the hell does that page on NBA.com prevent my browser from using the Alt+D to get to the address bar quickly? Their new site redesign sucks balls.

He still gets huge galleries anytime he shows up at events though and comes off as far more of an everyman than most PGA pros did at the time. ESPN set up shop during SXSW last year and showed a preview of the John Daly 30 for 30. What I saw did center focus a lot on his alcoholism, food consumption, and struggles with fame. Would've like to have seen more about how he got along with other golfers and the general contrast between him, his fans, and the general golfing population, but maybe that'll come through in the full version. It was also fun to walk out of that showing wearing an MSU polo into public, blissfully unaware that they could possibly lose to Middle Tennessee State.

There's also already a Netflix documentary about the no-no and the aftermath of what Dock does now (he's a drug counselor!). I'd actually love to see a doc about addiction in sports in general though, since the OP brought up Steve Howe and the '86 Mets as well

I don't really even know why. Maybe there are better options available, maybe it's the excess commercials, maybe I don't have the attention span I used to. Still love RedZone Channel to death but watching regular season games that the Bears aren't in have just gotten boring to me.
