30 for 30

Pugs posted a link to the 30 for 30 box set Amazon had for sale for around $59.99 late last year. It had all 30 films and some extras too, love it. If you use torrents I'm sure you can find it out there easily.

 

Youtube seems to have some.

Other than that. Go to your normal spots....or purchase from amazon / itunes.

 

I saw it when it first came out and it was really really good...Didn't know all the story and man, what a story

 

You can buy it in HD for $5 on iTunes.

 

anyone watch the new one 9.79*? I'm only 30 minutes in and I'm enjoying it a lot more than Broke which was awful.

 

oops didn't realize this was in the football forum; didn't want to create a new 30 for 30 thread in the Hangout.

 

Really good.

 

They have the first season on Netflix. Caught up on some, rewatched a few. I caught bits and pieces of 9.79.

 

I personally think 9.79* is up there with some of the best in the series.

 

I really enjoyed it, especially the athlete commentary synced with the video. I thought the premise was pretty bad for "Broke", we've heard that story a million times.

 

All those guys were cheating. Ben Johnson won, but he got caught at the time.

 

I can't wait for Benji.

 

watching 30 f0r 30 just pisses me off. it just proves that espn, if they wanted to, could give us quality sports journalism and entertainment instead of Tebow's undefeated superbowl bound Jets or the Red sox's legendary 2012 season.

honestly, I can't say which episode I like the most. they've all been great. Ice cube directing his vision of the raiders was pretty interesting.

ok, nm, i do have favorites.."two escobars" and "once brothers". I need to catch up on the new ones.

 

"Broke" was interesting but you're right, we all know the story and there wasn't a whole lot of depth to it.

Not to mention that whoever produced that one got way too cute with the camera shots, and one of the guys they interviewed looked like it was shot on a cell phone camera.

 

I watched 9.79 and then broke back to back. Broke was essentially the same few stories repeated over and over. Spent too much on jewelry, child support, got scammed by family friends, etc.

Really it could have been boiled down into a 5 slide powerpoint instead of an hour-plus movie.

 

I like the premise of Broke; it's just the execution was poor. You're right, same story we've heard over and over, but we've heard this Olympic Lewis/Johnson doping story too yet this documentary gave a lot of insight that wasn't generally known.

Broke would have been tremendously better if we got some candid interviews with people that actually went broke and how/why it happened to them instead of mostly 3rd party accounts of financial ineptitude.

 

Thought it was interesting when Andre Jackson said "maybe I did, maybe I didn't" with regards to whether he spiked Ben Johnson's beer. The whole deal with him being in the testing room and the coach saying they snuck him in there was odd.

 

Anyone else watch Benji?

Thought it was pretty good.
