30 for 30 running thread

Unmatched was really well done, which is somewhat redundant for this series. It was really refreshing that the only two voices you hear throughout were those of Navratilova and Evert.

 

Hey - balls aren't going to scratch themselves, are they?

 

Canucks: TSN2 will show the Steve Nash directed Terry Fox documentary on Sunday Sept 19 at 7:00.

That sucks for those of us who don't get TSN2 but get Sportsnet One!

 

They're going to be re-running it on TSN and CTV later in the month.

How come you don't have TSN2? Do you have HD?

 

Hannah Storm produced the Martina/Chris Evert episode.

The Tupac/Tyson one sucked.

 

Come on, you've seen my TV (I think), you think I wouldn't have HD?

Rogers, in Peel anyway, doesn't carry TSN2 as part of the package for some reason.

 

Martina, even when she was at her most dominant, was already dealing with other things whether it was her push for gay rights or trying to inform people on the ills of communism.

She is a deep person and has always looked at tennis as just a part of who she is. Chrissy has always been tennis and I think she's still a little lost without competing. Martina played a lot longer and later in her life but I think it's because she loved to compete, she didn't NEED to compete. Chrissy needs competition, she's never happy unless she's going against somebody.

And I always thought Martina was the nicer person despite the way it was portrayed. It was just a feeling and the way she played and the way other players reacted towards her. I mean she beat some of her opponents so bad that if they didn't like her it would have showed.

 

Another reason to move to Mimico.

 

Terry Fox story is airing right now. Twenty minutes in and it's fantastic.

 

Martina has always come across a very genuine. I think that Chris (who time and HD has not treated as well) has such great perspective after having such a hard shell. I watched that and the Tupac/Tyson dreck back to back and what a contrast of subtle vs. in your face styles.

 

Just finished watching 30 on 30 of Terry Fox and it was simply fantastic, obviously very emotional. Steve Nash did an amazing job.

Hopefully Americans will watch it and appreciate the story of Terry Fox just like Canadians do. Not trying to take a jab or anything in that previous sentence.
