To the limit: The story about Dale Earnhardt telling France it was bullshit that Richmond couldn't race was amazing and I wish it was true.

Broke is interesting as far as information but as a documentary it's boring. It might as well just be a longform article.

Small Potatoes was interesting to me as someone who did not know anything about the USFL. It’s also even more relevant now, due to Trump’s involvement in the story

The small potatoes guy was kind of annoying, but not nearly as annoying as the Kansas Rules of Basketball guy, who made me want to somehow purchase the Naismith rules and slowly eat them in front of him.

It’s technically not a 30 for 30 as it was part of their Nine for Title IX thing, but No Limits, about freediver Audrey Mestre is loving phenomenal and everyone should see it.

June 17, 1994 is pretty good. If I remember right, there are no talking heads, it's all just broadcast footage from the day edited together chronologically. Reminds me of those History Channel docs like 102 Minutes that Changed America and 3 Shots that Changed America

So ESPN had the college FB awards show last night and put up traffic cones next to JT Barrett's seat so cameramen wouldn't run into him

Elitist Bitch posted:I like To The Limit. Story about the NASCAR driver that Days of Thunder was loosely based off of that NASCAR has tried really, really hard to bury thanks to the awful way his illness and death was handled (he died of complications from AIDS). Even if you're not a NASCAR or auto racing fan it's an interesting look at how AIDS was handled by real people in the early days of the epidemic (although I'll admit that what I saw made me sad). He could have been one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history but died when he was 34. I thought Days of Thunder was based upon both Tim Richmond and Jeff Gordon.

The highlight of the USFL one was hearing Rick Neuheisel sing the San Antonio Gunslingers song. The 30 for 30 short, Cutthroat, was outstanding. ESPN doesn't have it uploaded anymore I don't think, but it can be found. For those unfamiliar, it's a piece about Clint Malarchuk.

Not sure how easy it is to find but Errol Morris' "The Subterranean Stadium" 30 for 30 short is one of my favorite short films ever and is also one of the best introductions to Errol Morris if you don't know his docs. All about an old school tabletop football league and the people who participate but, like all his movies, about so much more as well.

ElwoodCuse posted:The Hillsborough one is powerful but difficult to watch. The first part of the Hillsborough is like a disaster movie, where you see all these horrible decisions made that lead up to the tragedy, and the second just makes you get actually angrier and angrier at the sheer injustice of it all. But some of the crowd footage, and especially the footage which looks like it was taken from just above the Leppings Lane terrace is just undeniably grim.

Last year for some reason I watched Hillsborough, Dear Zachary, The Act of Killing and all three parts of Paradise Lost in the span of a couple of months. I think it prepared me pretty well for the constant stream of rage and sadness that has defined 2017 and will continue for the foreseeable future.

What does "suspended from their duties pending an investigation into the allegations" mean, legally? Are they kinda permanently suspended until the lawsuit concludes so the NFL doesn't get hit with even more wrongful termination suits if the first suit doesn't succeed? Or do they do an internal investigation and say wow we're going to lose this suit and fire them, which means they definitely lose the suit because they implicate themselves? man, employing a staff of mostly rot-brained nth-percentile-testosterone-producers used to star treatment must be a legal nightmare

They're likely all contracted so suspending (likely with pay) them basically is the cleanest way to handle things for now as an employer. It basically puts them in a legal and PR purgatory where they can quietly work to pin allegations to names before potentially terminating anyone. Firing them immediately potentially creates its own issues if you're not 100% sure it's them. If you keep them on camera like nothing's wrong, it's a terrible look.
