I, too, was not a dook fan when I was 18.

3/8/2011 6:24:25 PM

Fab Five was probably my favorite 30 for 30 so far. It sucks that those guys lost to Duke and then to Carolina on that shitty time out.

I was pretty pumped back when Chris Webber got traded to Washington and reunited with Juwan Howard. Was never a Michigan fan, but I always liked Chris Webber and "The Fab 5" was fun to watch and brought back good memories.

One of the coolest things about him:

3/14/2011 10:30:25 AM

that is pretty cool... so he didn't open up a rimz store?

3/14/2011 10:37:37 AM

the one on Michael Jordan on ESPN right now is pretty good, its about him playing baseball

5/30/2011 8:48:16 PM

^^^ second coolest thing:

Quote :

"Webber is active in various charities and created The Timeout Foundation in 1993"

holy shit, seriously he named his foundation the Timeout????

5/31/2011 2:21:57 PM

yes, which is really funny when you consider that he's reportedly still unwilling to talk about it.

5/31/2011 6:09:43 PM

hell yes I'm buying this:

I just bought the box set. Thanks for the notice on the sale. I haven't seen that many of these.

6/15/2011 12:34:14 AM

It's here and it comes with a hat!

6/21/2011 10:01:55 PM

oh boy!

aren't surprises fun???

6/21/2011 10:17:35 PM

^It really wasn't a surprise.

For the first time I watched "Into the Wind," "The U," and "Ali and Holmes." All three were pretty good.

6/22/2011 2:23:47 AM

Of those, I only really thought "The U" had replay value, and that's just because it's the only story of all of those that involves material I've cared strongly about, growing up hating Miami.

Still watching these on iTunes every once and awhile. I've watched "Who Killed the USFL?" and "June 17th, 1994" at least 7 times each on the train in the morning.

6/22/2011 5:14:18 PM

I really liked the one about Marcus Dupree

6/22/2011 5:23:24 PM

June 17th, 1994 was executed perfectly, IMO

I thought "Into the Wind" was good. It was sort of a Jimmy V story Canadian style.

6/22/2011 9:11:45 PM

I finally got through all of them. Here are my rankings on the right. There is no real order of best to worst except for unmatched which belongs in 30th place by a ways. I just thought to myself, "What were the best 5? What were the next best 5? etc." Then I filled out my list. To me my top 3 were the best because they were about key moments in modern world history and were more than just a story about sports.

As a Raiders fan, I was disappointed with Straight Outta LA, but I think that's because it spent too much time talking about LA the city and not enough talking about the characters (many from the Oakland and LA eras) that made the Raiders the Raiders like Biletnikoff, Stabler, Upshaw, etc.

7/8/2011 2:58:40 PM

The Bartman documentary is finally airing tomorrow night. I'm not really a baseball fan but it seems like this one could be pretty awesome.

9/26/2011 7:10:53 PM

they kinda limited themselves with the "30 for 30" title

9/26/2011 7:18:57 PM

^^
Too painful to watch.

9/26/2011 7:30:27 PM

^^yea kinda annoying that it is still going but they abandoned the title so dvr no longer auto-records

seems kinda dumb that just b/c it is no longer the 30th year, they cant call it 30 for 30

9/29/2011 11:27:35 PM

I loved it.

It really showed how unruly and heartless the fans were there in Chicago to him

A foul ball changed this kids life in a matter of seconds. I feel so bad for him. He had nothing to do with the collapse.

It was a great documentary, just wish they would have interviewed him but it gives him almost a superhero feel now.

One of the better ones Ive seen.

9/30/2011 2:10:58 AM

hell of a heel

9/30/2011 8:13:06 AM

Just watched "Unguarded" about Chris Herren. I remember watching this guy at Fresno State when I was in High School, and it seemed like he just disappeared. His story about drug abuse and recovery is good, but it's been told a million times before.

However, what made this documentary great was his wife. Just staying committed to him though all of his struggles is just amazing. I think 99 times out of 100, any other woman would have justifiably ended the marriage. I hope he realizes how lucky he is.

Also, just found out that this was done by the same guy that did the Marcus Dupree doc. Bith good. I thought this was better.

bttt for roll tide/war eagle...looking forward to this one

11/8/2011 5:50:50 PM

^ this is must see tv

11/8/2011 6:32:34 PM

Alabama residents, ladies and gentlemen

11/8/2011 8:58:38 PM

I'm glad they made this. I don't think most sports fans outside of the south truly understand how insane that rivalry is.

11/8/2011 9:01:42 PM

Whenever people around here say duke/unc is THE GREATEST RIVALRY EVER!!!!!!!1111 HANDS DOWN, I'm all like The hate there isn't even on the same stratosphere as Alabama/Auburn.

11/8/2011 9:12:24 PM

what was up with the dude playing the piano? he freaked me out a little bit.

could have done without him and "Sweet Home Alabama" on the piano every 10 minutes.

otherwise i thought this was an awesome documentary.

11/8/2011 9:27:16 PM

I missed this, any idea when it will be back on?

11/8/2011 10:57:44 PM

I liked the part where they stopped talking about the 2009 season and cut to Cam in the locker room with his head down, deflating the ball. just thought that part was awesome.

11/9/2011 1:44:34 AM

guess we have a penn st one coming in the near future

11/9/2011 11:00:54 PM

just finished watching it....another great one...really loving this series

11/10/2011 1:22:50 AM

Bump for tonight. Must watch.

3/11/2012 8:49:32 PM

i was really looking forward to this... but this is fucking lame.

3/11/2012 9:06:09 PM

The big problem is Johnson's narrating.

[Edited on March 11, 2012 at 9:10 PM. Reason : Oh shit chuck norris]

3/11/2012 9:08:42 PM

^^ you probably don't recognize 3/4 of the stars they've shown.

3/11/2012 9:13:56 PM

huh?

it's stupid b/c of johnson's narrating. it's getting better though.

3/11/2012 9:37:41 PM

i remember getting out of basketball practice at the YMCA or JCC or something, Y-Ball practice, and my mom picked me up and told me about this

not watching though, will probably catch a replay

3/11/2012 9:39:18 PM

^^ my point is you're too young to understand how big this moment was.
