last night watched "The Long Gone Summer" telling the story of the 1998 Home Run chase between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.
I had to watch it, because i remember how big this was. I watched a lot of baseball at this time, as Sky Sports basically just switched to ESPN for most of the day, and i was a feckless uni student. This chase was massive. Pretty sure we even had a bet going in our flat as to who would win it.
The documentary itself is good, but not great, i think it could have been made better, but it's a pretty cool reflection on how baseball managed to re-enter people's hearts after the strike did so much damage. It also goes a long way to explaining why the league did nothing about the obvious steroid usage.
70 home runs is fucking amazing. And McGwire especially hit fucking bombs, his bat speed was ridiculous
Yeah he's one ranga I wouldn't want to take a bat to the head from.
Which rangas WOULD you like to take a bat in the head from?
don't be racist

look fuckers, Rock Climbing is not a sport, it's a mental illness.
Free climbing is a mental illness.
Belaying a mate who has just decided they don't like heights can be funny. Mates can be right fluffybunnies.
You're not another fucker who shakes the rope and makes ghostly noises......!

Not really a Doco, but the Full Send Podcast with John Daly, 30 mins in good watch (90 mins) and is recorded at Hooters....Daly is awesome
Talks about the John Daly 'Gymlazium' where there is a bar stool on every treadmill, ashtray on one side, cup holder for your vodka on the other, porn on the TV and topless waitresses serving you...talks about 27k bar tabs at titty bars

I watched this on ESPN last week. A great watch about the development and history of the show. Reali's comments about LBJ and his draft class are hilarious.
That was a great doco. The love and mutual respect they have for each other is the star of the show. It was funny that one of them slurped the Darko kool aid. I guess the longer you spend as a pundit the more you will get stuff wrong

The new doco on the referees from the 2023 World Cup is pretty remarkable. Only available on RugbyPass TV at the moment: https://rugbypass.tv/video/578207?showInterstitial=false

I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I'm still fucking furious at the rank incompetence of Barnes and Foley.

The bit when they disallowed that brilliant try felt almost as shocking as it did on game day
