30 for 30 running thread

[Riptide]

I want to see that. Thanks for clueing me in. I once went in there with a bunch of friends, some of whom are former athletes (how they knew about the store) and have huge feet. I started looking around and found a pair of shoes I liked in my tiny size. One of my friends with a foot about twice the size of mine found the same exact pair in his sasquatch size, and he liked them too. I believe we got them together on a "buy one pair, get a second pair of shoes free" deal and we split the cost. I remember contending that he should have paid twice as much as I did because his shoes required twice the materials that mine did.

Elon Musk could have got you a federal subsidy.

Cool 30 for 30 short on the court at the Mecca and also the year the San Francisco Giants tried out a crab mascot that everyone hated.

I'm into Last Chance U and just got to the fight vs. Mississippi Delta. Agree with most of the previous analysis. Coach is a first-clash ash. How can you go from "fork 'em up. fork THEM UP" to the Lord's Prayer in the same breath. Brittany is the bomb. The ashistant coaches are really good. How are these guys eligible? I know, it's junior college.

Yes, Crazy Crab! People used to throw stuff at him!

Don't remember that, but seems a bit like the Islanders and the Fisherman jersey.

Speaking of hockey, saw a guy with a Whalers shirt today. Only went to three games there, but miss that place and that team.

Three new ones this fall:

Phi Slama Jama, Oct. 18

Hit it Hard (John Daly), Nov. 1

Catholics vs Convicts (Miami vs Notre Dame), Dec. 10 (after the Heisman presentation)

Details:

ESPN Films debuting three new 30 for 30 documentaries this fall, led by Phi Slama Jama

Do we rrrrrrrreaally need another Goddamned Miami one? This'll be three.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Yeah, enough with Miami. I will definitely watch the other two, though.

That's what I was thinking. As someone pointed out on Twitter, they've had 3 documentaries since their last conference title.

If Chip Rives was trolling for talking heads commentary for Phi Slama Jama, hopefully he got Win Butler. Grew up a Hakeem Olajuwon fan, and fronts a band called Phi Slama Jama (the male members of Arcade Fire occasionally playing covers at a bar on tour nights off). Trolled Madison Square Garden the first time he played there ("I'm standing right about where Hakeem Olajuwon hit his game-winning shot in the '94 finals"). Might be fun, the way Ray Manzarek's contributions to HBO's UCLA documentary were (he was a film student there during their '64 and '65 title runs).

Chip Rives? I haven't heard that name since he played football at Wake Forest and was one of the "Athletes Who Care," who were named the 1987 SI sportspeople of the year.

And as someone who followed college hoops pretty closely in the 1980s, I'll definitely be checking out that doc.
