30 for 30: 15 years

Man, has it been that long. Yes, On October 6, 2009 ESPN aired Kings Ranson about Wayne Gretzky's trade to the LA Kings. Since then, There have been 131 official 30 for 30 Docs and 14 that's counted under the 30 for 30 umbrella but not officially 30 for 30, and about 70 shorts and podcasts and that's not counting E60, SEC Storied, and the Last Dance. Also, I believe 30 for 30 also inspired the Untold on Netflix and maybe a few others. I've seen maybe half of them and some probably about a dozen like Pony Excess, Survive and Advance. ESPN also gave out the top 15 30 for 30's during the 15th anniversary special hosted by The Daily Show alum and Current CNN host Roy Wood Jr who I took a pic with and here is the list.

15.Elway to Marino

14. Miracles and Men

13. Dream On

12. Be Water

11. You don't know BO

10. Once Brothers

9. Nature Boy

8. Bad Boys

7. Fab Five though it wasn't officially a 30 for 30

6. The Price of Gold

5. Fantastic Lies

4. June 17th, 1994

3. The Two Escorbs 

2. OJ: Made in America

1. The U


I agree with the list and I have seen most of them. The U was the one who put 30 for 30 on the map as it got good ratings being after the Heisman Award presentation. Questioned the Fab Five about the 1991-1993 Michigan Men's Basketball team being there again not officially being a 30 for 30 film. It also responsible with subjects Marcus Durpee (the Best that Never Was) and Brian "the Boz" Bozworth getting in the good graces in Oklahoma and Ric Flair (Nature Boy) was in bad shape health-wise and was shown the rough draft of his 30 for 30 and his health improved. According to the special. I heard that the NY Jets' New York Sack Exchange will be one of the future 30 for 30s. After that, I don't know though I hoping for 2011 MLB last day of the regular season and the 2007 College Football season as well. Still waiting for one that features a Tampa team unless you count the Bucs being mentioned on You Don't Know Bo (I didn't see that one other than a brief glance). Also, I wonder if the Urban Meyer Gators will be talked on 30 for 30 since people consider the Untold story about those Gators was a puff piece.

I have Questions about Only Murders In the Building in the casting

I should say spoiler alert for those who haven't watch it yet. Also, it got a fifth season. Wanted to share Besides who was the target, Sazz or Charles. Anyway, it starts after the play happened which I hoping becomes an actual play on Broadway. Sadly for Oliver, the play only lasts one night as his producers, the mother and son team are facing Murder/Attempted Murder charges and using that money for attorneys. Well the Murder charge with Cliff could be dropped down to manslaughter possibly. That's a shame, I would have loved to see Oliver continue working on that show. Heck I would like to see the play made for real. Charles maybe though he was the only one relived the show ended and possibly Oliver's girlfriend Loretta played by the legendary Meryl Streep who landed gigs in Hollywood. However, it wasn't the end for our heroes as they got emails from Paramount Studio to do a movie on their podcast. Also, if you remember from the season three finale. Sazz, Charles' ...

More Guns doesn't mean more safety in schools

     After the Stoneman Douglas commission led by Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri suggested that school should armed teachers it's been a divisive topic. Heck, I lost a friend because I said he didn't care for his kids and he said among other things I crossed a line. I did I admit especially 1. I don't have kids myself and 2. How would I like it if someone said the same thing to me on me not wanting to arm teachers with guns? I would be pissed too. I know I have said a number of times of Facebook and here that Republicans don't give a shit about their kids. I think when it came to the election in 2016 (and to some extent 2018) a number of people wanted for most themselves like "sorry about your schools and the environment we're about to leave you with but daddy needs a job" or "Mommy needs a job". I know low of me to say especially since I probably still have Conservatives who have kids and aren't pissed at me yet. However, if you reall...

My dream Challenge season

     Not to be confused in my Gauntlet 2 dream post I did last summer. I wished Danny was still alive to ask him if he would have spared me from the next male elimination if he was team captain. Now back to the present. I'm been trying to figure a number of things really but one of those is what would my dream season of MTV's the Challenge. What if MTV gave me control of a season and who to put in (I know wishful thinking but I'm going there). My choice of format is going to be Bloodlines (I also have another dream format called the Wes vs Bananas but I don't know who I would put in team Wes and team Bananas because I don't know who friendly with either guy so I hold off until I heard from both guys or at least Wes because that bitch Bananas blocked me from Twitter and Instagram and yet I don't regret). Also, would I block that bitch Bananas and Ashley M from the Challenge? Thought about it and decided I won't plus Bananas is the franchise plus I want to see...
