The Announcement--ESPN

So help me god, when I saw the thread title, I thought ESPN was going to have an hour special about Peyton's choice.

 

The moral of the story: if you're real real real real real rich, everything will be fine.

 

Then the one lady on the show is real, real, real, real, real rich, too. Cause she said she was taking the same meds as Magic. Don't recall her name. Looked to be about mid 40s maybe.

 

It didn't say so, but it was heavily implied that that was (director) Nelson George's sister.

 

Jim Gray just had a Brilliant Fucking Idea!!

 

I'm about 30 minutes in. Magic narrating it is ruining it for me. Must be that Michigan State education...

 

That is his sister.

 

BRA-vo.

 

I'll go against the grain here too, but not because it was too empathetic. I just thought the documentary was pretty boring. Riley was great, and I loved seeing the little girl all grown up at the end, but overall it wasn't one of ESPN Films' better efforts. The 30 for 30 on Tim Richmond was far superior, and I barely knew who Tim Richmond was when I watched that one.

 

I haven't seen all of them, but the Marcus Dupree one might be my favorite. The SMU one was great as well.

 

Those two, the recount of that June day in 1994 (OJ chase). The NWA-Raiders one. The Colts leaving Baltimore. Larry Holmes. My favorite was the Petrovic-Vlade one.


I'll pass on this one.

 

All those, plus The Two Escobars.
