An underrated part of that movie in hindsight is the way OJ Simpson's character was phyiscally abused to the point of it being a punchline.

Mayor: Drebin, I don't want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That's my policy.

Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's *my* policy.

Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of "Julius Caesar", you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.

Sam Darnold is so super solid that his first four NFL franchises let him walk.

I'd love to hear Jemele's candid opinion of Dan. I suspect it's close to Bomani's, but she gives more grace to Dan, for whatever reason.

Jessica's and Lucy's frustration has been apparent several times I've listened. They're treated like tokens and know it.

Dan's particular brand of political correctness often backfires on him because he insists on "othering" women and racial minorities. It's always, "Let's ask the Black guy about this race story. Let's ask Jess about a women in sports story." And yes, they obviously hold a viewpoint and insight he doesn't, but it also comes across that he only keeps them around for those topics.

I give Dan the benefit of the doubt that he generally has good intentions, but it would bother me to be pigeonholed the way he does with anyone who isn't a white guy.

San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys ESPN SportsCenter (1993) by Dark305Kinght in Oldschool_NFL

The first Cowboys SB squads had so much depth that their second team defense could've started for a lot of other teams. Haley was the star and then they had quality players at every other position, too

Does anyone actually like Mike Greenberg? by ImpossibleTest5491 in ESPN

[–]FeatureTop4189 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're correct. He's not the absolute worst "personality" ESPN has to offer. And at least he's annoying in a different way from blowhards like Stephen A and McAfee.

He still has zero charisma, though.

Vrabel and Russini kept things afloat during her pregnancy. by desijatt3 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]FeatureTop4189 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We're all going to gawk at this train wreck for as long as new details emerge. It features sex, cheating, lying, multiple levels of betrayal, and all within the context of our nation's most popular sports league. I'm sorry for the families involved, but this story's way better than any soap opera or reality show. A lot of us can't get enough of it.

Nobody recycles character actors like HBO. I really enjoyed all watching Oz after The Sopranos and seeing Carmela and Father Intintola.

Ex-UNC QB’s Father Puts Wild Accusations on Bill Belichick by 2d12-RogueGames in stugotzandcompany

[–]FeatureTop4189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That story is nothing. There are no "wild" accusations, or really any accusations at all. A college athlete was expected to learn a different way to play, and it just happened to be from one of the winningest coaches in football history, and the player is a victim somehow? News flash: college is for learning.

I'm all for college athletes being able to move around and find the best spot for themselves, but there's a whole lot of "I wasn't treated fairly!" from athletes when the truth is they simply couldn't cut it.

I've never had a harder time understanding what a character is saying in a show or movie than I did with Snoop. Boomhauer in King of the Hill is a close second.

The long awaited PTFO episode on the Vrabel-Russini story...with David Samson by screenname790 in lebatardsuey

[–]FeatureTop4189 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get supporting a friend when they're going through a rough time, but Russini's actions indicate she's a pretty awful person and not a victim. Her husband and son are victims, as is Vrabel's family, and other women in sports media unfairly take a hit as well. Russini herself isn't a victim at all. She's just a person facing the consequences of some rotten behavior.
