Dear ESPN:
In the future, please don't air the updated version of Believland before the Hillsborough Justice for the 96 documentary. Just saying, while the Cav's winning a title is a good story, it is quite trivial compared to what the friends and family of the 96 had to go through.

I had to get this out of the way. Because through the whole Ep my mind kept coming back to this scene

The Gooden/Strawberry 30 for 30 is a excellent story, I was born the year the Mets won the 1986 World Series and I first knew Strawberry as a member of the Evil Empire that is the Yankees. Having seen old footage on Tv over the years made me realize that they were Part of the 1986 Mets World Series winning team.

Yeah, Darryl looked great, Doc, not so much.

Only part I didn't like was the lack of mentioning the "Darryl" chants, which even made The Simpsons.

Yeah, Darryl looked great, Doc, not so much. When I saw the previews I thought it would've been the other way around, but I forgot about the Straw's cancer bouts. It was sad seeing Doc wired up at the end.

Has anybody checked out What The Hell Happened To Jai-Alai?
Can't believe that was a form of legalized gambling. And today, its nonexistent.

Next up on the docket are: Phi Slama Jama, Hit It Hard, & Catholics vs Convicts. I think they've done a great job on Miami football, so I'm really looking forward to Catholics vs Convicts

I think they've done a great job on Miami football, so I'm really looking forward to Catholics vs Convicts I just watched the trailer for "Catholics vs. Convicts" and they might as well just call it "The U Part 1.5" because that's what it looks like. A celebration of all things Miami and a condemnation of all things Notre Dame. It also falls back on a favorite trope for "30 for 30", which is "these young black men were just having fun and it was driving those stodgy old men crazy!" I'll watch it, because the college football installments of "30 for 30" tend to be the pinnacle of the series - from "The Best That Never Was" to "Pony Excess" to "The Gospel According to Mac" - but I got tired of watching the Miami Hurricanes public relations machine at work about midway through "The U Part 2". I don't know if I'll be able to stomach a third, especially considering they covered the Catholics vs. Convicts game at length in "The U".

The best thing about them covering Miami's attitude was that Michael Irvin of all people was the only one to own up to it. He flat out said there were no ulterior motives to the backlash, they got the backlash because they were bad boys, and they loved being bad boys.

I don't know if I'll be able to stomach a third, especially considering they covered the Catholics vs. Convicts game at length in "The U". Part of it WAS that those stodgy old men did and still do feel that way. But the larger part of it is that ESPN just loves itself some controversy, and is acknowledging that the more shit people stir up, the better it plays to the crowd then and now. It's at least being self-aware. As with the Bad Boys doc, it doesn't really fail to acknowledge that they were seen as the bad guys. But rather why it made them a bigger deal, the bigger stuff they stirred up, their perspective of being the bad guys. All the noteworthy stuff, and maybe a different perspective. The U Part 2 was too favorable (and kinda glossed over probably the best CFB team ever), as was Bad Boys to an extent. But it was presented in a way that made it more watchable. Versus I Hate Christian Laettner, which accurately painted him as an asshole and just came off as whiny and a waste of time.
