Title: espn 30 for 30 season 3
Post by: Token on October 08, 2012, 07:20:08 PM
The seasons just keep better and better. No question "Unguarded" and the Magic Johnson, Fernando V. episodes were great from last season.

Season 3 kicks off with "Broke". About how athletes blow their cash, fucking awesome episode. Saw a sneak preview of "Benji" last week, man, great great series.

I thought broke was kind of a joke. I made it through 30 minutes of douchebags talking about how much jewelry they used to have. That is all they talked about was jewelry. Then they make the claim that there aren't many millionaires on each team. If you get drafted in the first round you will get a multimillion dollar signing bonus which makes you a millionaire. I haven't seen the most recent episode but broke really annoyed me

Loved it, knowing that their quick cash at such a young age came tumbling down. Didn't feel sorry for them one bit.

I didn't feel sorry for them at all. I mean you buy $250k worth of jewelry  from someone in the backseat of a car. These guys get so much free shit too. I'm sure they get catering everyday so they probably don't even have to buy food either

Andre Rison said his college coach said if he doesn't get his stuff together he's gonna end up coming down with his white Cadillac and ask him "how bout a wash?" So aweaome....

Wait til you see "Benji", whoa.....bummer.

Benji is the story of a kid in chicago, great basketball player in the mid late 80's high school, number 1 nation college recruit. Unfulfilled dream, thats all Im gonna tell you.

Currently working on my 5th 30 for 30 installment.

In this season I worked on the early stages o "There's no Place like home." And I'm also working on the upcoming doc about the Islanders.

Glad people like this stuff.

Great story. I actually remember hearing about him before watching this doc. I was not aware he was a teammate of R Kelly.

I DVR the episode from Saturday about Bo Jackson. I am definitely looking forward to watching it at some point this week.

The Bo Jackson episode was great. I was a kid when he was popular and this sheds a lot of light on his career and following "disappearance" due to injury.

Love the series.
