It will be interesting to see the OJ one, especially after American Crime Story: The People VS OJ Simpson. I really enjoyed that show, but the real story was much more interesting.

Rewatched the Orlando Magic documentary, and to me, it gets worse with each viewing.
I can't believe that they had to spend so much time on "Li'l Penny", and to be honest, I don't think they would have won 3-4 championships had things worked out in their favor.

Also - unsurprisingly considering the network this aired on - they dedicated no time at all to what a horrible decision "The Decision" was. It was a flamboyant, showy, me-first bit of self-fellating prima donna bulls**t that spanned two hours of primetime television. For all the myriad reasons why people dislike LeBron James, it all started when he took part in "The Decision". And I know that revisionist history has since chalked that up to a kid not knowing how bad it would look but if you recall the 2010-11 season, LeBron was public enemy no. 1 everywhere but in South Beach and it all began on that night. They came to LeBron with the idea, and it raised millions for charity. Every penny they made from that went to charities, most notably The Boys and Girls Club. What it comes down to is LeBron was the highest profile guy in the sport by a decent margin, and those guys always end up hated. If it wasn't that, it would have been something else. The decision, while notably pretentious, is just a scapegoat for the same thing that happens to every big athlete that ends up getting hated. If that was Wade or Bosh doing the same thing, it would probably be a blip on the radar. But turn it to ESPN and overhype and a big wait, and it's a mushroom cloud. But in the larger scheme, it's essentially nothing.

The OJ one will probably be the only 30 for 30 that I have 0 interest in ever watching. They've done some over-covered stories before, but this one absolutely takes the cake.

Ideas for future 30 for 30s. To my knowledge none of these have been done or announced.
-The Atlanta Braves from 1990-2001-They were called the Team of the 90's but only had one World Series to show for it. Some of the things that could be mentioned include winning the NL West the last day of the 1991 season, Bream's slide against Pittsburgh, the upside down flag controversy, the rivalry with the Mets, John Rocker, and how they have never won a playoff series after 2001.
-The Alabama Gang-They were some of NASCAR's most popular and successful drivers. Most however would have their careers cut short by various tragedies.
Also put me in the boat of wanting to see one about the CART/IRL split

That has so much subject matter and is a huge human interest story as well. It's a travesty that they haven't done one already. I just watched Believeland, and you can really tell that they're stretching for episodes. This seemed like three separate 30 for 30 shorts about Cleveland teams crammed together. The Cavs part was entirely about LeBron, and glossed over even his biggest achievements and failures. The only decent part was about the Browns, and it was 15 minutes of subject matter, tops. Worse than the Magic one. Not a great season for 30 for 30. They may be approaching jump the shark territory.

I mean, they didn't bother discussing the revolving door of personnel that the Browns have had since coming back to the league and didn't even acknowledge the Cleveland Barons. Anyway, tonight's Part 1 of the OJ documentary. I'll be watching out of curiosity. Mainly, the first part will discuss OJ going to southern California and embracing white culture.

One thing this doc is showing us is that the racists weren't only located in the South. Feel as if places like Los Angeles & NYC get let off the hook while folks wag their fingers at the South.

AC is such a buster for still hanging out with OJ after Juice stole his girl.
Also, those runs in buffalo are astounding

OJ, who was still married at the time, went on a 1st date with 18 year old Nicole Brown & more than likely raped her. Jesus f***ing Christ.
