Haven't seen any discussion about the series, from the ones that I have seen so far most have been excellent.

I've seen the UFL & Miami episodes. Both were funny.

I've seen The U, Run Ricky Run, Straight Outta LA, and June 17th, 1994. The U was by far the best one of the 4 I watched.

Absolutely loved 30 for 30 - the story of 2 escobars. I had known about the Andres Escobar story since it happened, but was not much aware of the socio-political underpinnings behind it. 30 for 30 does a great job of blending the football with the history of a country ravaged by gang warfare. Really sad story though...

It seems like a cool series. I came across it very late one night. One episode was about the 1990 Loyola University's men's basketball team. Another one was about a series of big events that happened on the same day, which were the O.J Simpson chase, the NBA finals, the first day of the World Cup, and the New York Rangers Stanley Cup parade. Well edited episode.

Watched "Winning Time" about Miller vs. the Knicks which was good. Currently downloading the Escobar story, which has gotten really rave reviews.

I've watched a few of them and they were all pretty good but The U is def a standout. I ended up watching 2LiveCrew videos on Youtube for awhile after that. LOL.

It's out there but I don't remember where I got it. Did you just google it with + torrent? I assume you did?

Oh yeah, Without Bias really hit home. I remember when that happened and thinking what a fucking waste. It was the 80's and crack was everywhere and Len's demise scared me from ever playing with that poison.

Great series. Its really been open my eyes and pulled me into people/situations/stories that I otherwise wouldn't have been interested in or even known about.

I only found .mkv extensions of the file. My divx player doesnt support that file format.

The Escobar one was fantastic. Actually moved me to tears. What a story.

Ive seen:

The U - Hilarious. I was a kid when the team was in its heyday, so this was new to me.
Reggie Miller vs NYK - Awesome. Growing up a Pacers fan and going to these games brought back good memories.
The 2 Escobars - Awesome. Again, no idea the back story to this. Excellent story telling and how they tied the 2 together. Probably the best one.
Straight Outta LA - Dumb. Ice Cube just needs to stop.

The only unaired ones left Id be interested in are the Mike Tyson and Steve Bartman one (just to laugh at phaggot cubs fans)

has anyone seen the Wayne Gretzky or USFL ones that already aired?

The USFL one was excellent. You forget how many innovative minds had their roots in the USFL, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.
