Late night bullshit: name your future 30 for 30s

[chiefzilla1501]

I mentioned in another thread... A few 30 for 30s bother me.... Ones with stories that are so obvious, it was overplayed. Biographies unless there was something extraordinary about it (sorry... Bo Jackson? Randy Moss? Those are nfl network Biographies, not 30 for 30s). And events so fresh in everyone's mind that the story is already well known. Anyway... With those biases clearly stated, what are...

30 for 30s we should see in the next few years because the story is still a little nostalgic?

What will be 30 for 30s ten years from now?

I walked away from the "Playing for the Mob" 30 for 30 thinking that Henry Hill was kind of a dumbass. Like...a really dumb, stupid person who probably locked windows on the short bus. Why in the hell did Jimmy Burke trust that guy? He must have been stupid too....must have relied heavily on muscle and intimidation.

It always seems to me that mobsters just somehow lack just enough intelligence to keep themselves in business.

So ESPN already did a 30 for 30 on Richard Jewell.

I think an interesting one could be made about social media and athletes...heck, about forums...interviewing a bunch of heavily criticized athletes about their experiences reading some of the hatred they'd read about themselves on message boards. That would be entertaining. I'd love it if Matt Cassel were one of the athletes and he was interviewed about reading CP. I'd love to 1.) Know whether the guy read the board or not and 2.) Hear his thoughts about reading some of the stuff that has been posted about him...it'd be funny if he referenced an actual poster that hated him.... like if he said something like, "yeah while I was in KC, a guy named Thing Lyfe started a thread about how I suck, have always sucked and will always suck, which garnered thousands of responses, this guy named Clay started a declaration to get rid of me, a guy named The Talking Can wished for me to drink antifreeze and die in an AIDS tree fire on a consistent basis, the posters on that board all chipped in to pay for a banner to be flown over Arrowhead Stadium which called for my benching and a guy named Pawnmower thought I was sexy."

That's a good way of putting it.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I saw a video of athletes reading mean tweets about themselves. It was wildly entertaining.

It seems like Netflix has been kicking these out at a rapid pace the past week. I'm going to try to watch that one about the Earthquake during MLB post season in the 80's this evening.

Watching one about the old school Knicks right now. Meh, not impressed so far.

You know what would be an odd 30 for 30? That situation where Marv Albert was busted acting like a freak, wearing women's underwear or whatever it was.

What years of the Knicks does it cover?

Watching the 30 for 30 shorts on espns website. So far, so good. They have one on Mackey sasser, a mets catcher that was afraid to throw the ball back to the pitcher. Bizarre story.

I wonder if that's where they got the idea for the catcher in Major League 2.
