Resurrecting an old thread here, but I just watched No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson on a whim. Many (all?) of the 30 For 30 documentaries on on Netflix. Really great film about one of the most fascinating athletes in recent history.

I really like Unguarded . It's about Chris Herren, a great basketball prospect out of Massachusetts, and his struggle with addiction that ultimately derailed his career. After he burned out of the league and hit rock bottom, he eventually got his life together and seems to be a really positive person these days.

Hands down without a doubt my favorite was the Benji Wilson story. Ben Wilson was America's most talented basketball prospect until the boy was senselessly murdered in Chicago...........this is a must see. There is a mouth wide open moment in the middle of this one. Im not ashamed to say that my wife and I both cried watching this.

There have been about 60 of these.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_for_30

Here's my ranking of those that I saw...

Tier 1 - Amazing.

  1. Big Shot - A must see.  Outrageous that Spano was able to get that close to owning the Islanders.
  2. The U
  3. The Price of Gold - The Kerrigan clubbing is one of my favorite events in history.  I still have trouble believing it really happened.
  4. The Fab Five
Tier 2 - Really good
  1. Roll Tide/War Eagle
  2. Ghosts of Ole Miss
  3. The Marinovich Project
  4. You Don't Know Bo
  5. Run Ricky Run
  6. Guru of Go
  7. Free Sprits

Tier 3 - Worth watching.

  1. Fernando Nation
  2. The House of Steinbrenner

Toilet Tier - Avoid at all costs

  1. Broke - This was so visually and auditorily offensive that it was difficult to watch.

Just watched Youngstown Boys this morning. It provided an interesting perspective on the whole Maurice Clarett situation that was very different from what the media reported at the time. Did not look pretty for the Ohio state University and it's athletic director. I thought tressel came across well for the most part, except for turning his back on Clarett when he needed him the most.

Just watched the new 30 for 30, "Requiem for the Big East" and it immediately becomes my favorite, although it pissed me off because of the inevitable ending.

I have been an unabashed Big East fan since the inception of the league and I am angry and saddened by what has happened in recent years. The Big East was the best basketball conference in the country, but the lure of football money was just too much to ignore. But schools like Syracuse and Boston College will always be stepchildren in the ACC when it comes to basketball, even as good as Syracuse always is. Tobacco Road will never care as much about Syracuse as Georgetown, St. Johns, UConn and Villanova did.

As one of the journalists in the show said, "They ran out all the poets and brought in the salesmen."

I missed the first several minutes, but caught it last night as well.  I agree, it was really good.  I, however, did not know the ending and was quite fascinated by how the league ended up being ruined by football.  Too bad.

Loved seeing all of the old footage from the '80's.  :)

1. The Two Escobars - I'm a huge soccer fan, and this was a fascinating look into the machinations of Colombian government and its struggle against the drug cartels.

2. Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL? - Watched this all happen first hand, and I was a Tampa Bay Bandits fan growing up.

3. June 17th, 1994 - Again, I watched this (the O.J. incident) unfold as it happened, but it's neat to see all of the things that were happening all at once.

Agreed. The Two Escobars was unbelievable.  One of my favorite documentaries, not just 30 For 30 , but of all time.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By iacas ·

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
