NFL Thread: Thoughts on the game south of the 49th

[Topper]

maybe he was self sedated.

[donlever]

maybe he heard the DEA was heading for the locker room and he had to clear out his stall

[Topper]

LOL, apparently they were more interested in trainer's bags and Doctor's kits.

[donlever]

So Belichek now rumoured to be taking another stab at Blount.

Anyway...

Anyone ever watch the 30 for 30 documentary shorts produced by ESPN?

Not all about football or the NFL but some interesting and entertaining stuff regardless.

Keeping to football the Bo Jackson and Marcus Dupree episodes were great (imesho).

Watched one on Bosworth the other night.

Glad I did, interesting stuff, I'd forgotten about some of the Boz shiite.

Apparently one on Randy Moss was released a week or so ago.

Clearly they produce what they want you to see but it provides a little bit of a different perspective regardless.

In terms of hockey there is actually one on the Gretzky trade which I have yet to watch. I believe it was one of the first produced.

[Topper]

Rumours confirmed.

I've caught a couple of 30/30 episodes, always good stuff but never a priority for my limited viewing time.

[donlever]

Limited viewing time is why I've seen so few. Looked it up on line this morning and there has been a ton of them made over the years of which I was not aware.

Generally speaking if I see one I am interested in I'll PVR it and watch it in snippets over a few days.

[Mr.Miyagi]

I've never watched them...probably will now though.


In other news...the Raiders won the Super Bowl last night.

Watched the Bo Jackson 30 for 30 and another one on guys who had managed to blow millions and were basically middle class Joes by the time they were forced to retire.

[donlever]

Right, had forgotten about the money episode, Andre "Bad Moon" Rison, Bernie Kosar.

A buddy of mine played with Kosar at Miami. Some of the stories. Yowza!

PVR'd the one on Randy Moss last night.

I believe it is the latest release.

[Topper]

I saw the $ one as well, great message for people everywhere, not just pro athletes.

You only need one of anything. House, car .... whatever, you can only use one at a time so two is unnecessary.

[donlever]

Thats right!

It's coming back to me now, Herm was great in that episode.

"All y'all livin' on champagne dreams with a beer budget, that ain't good"

"Y'all only need one car, ya can't drive four cars, only one"

"Why you need three houses? You can only live in one house."

[herb]

Ahhh, it was called Broke.

Jack Johnson probably should have watched it.

[Aaronp18]

Ahhh, it was called Broke.

Jack Johnson probably should have watched it.

Or his mom.

[donlever]

The Raidahs won their first football game in a calender year last night.

I wonder whats up with the futility?

Perhaps this video of the last minute of the game gives us a bit of a hint.

Speaking of those idiots, I wonder what the hell Jack Johnson's parents were doing with the money they got from those private loans at those horrendous rates of 18% APR (like the loan from the congressman and the other one from the loan shark operation preys...erm I mean has a customer base of dumb athletes)?
