Greatest sports documentary?


Oct 4, 2018, 11:32 PM

As I couldn't watch any more of the Braves' offensive ineptness, I started channel surfing and ran across "The Book of Manning".

Now, I've watched it multiple times before, but what a great a documentary about a great man and family.

The documentary just reels me in every time. I find myself just in awe of what he overcame and the family man he became. Just inspiring.

I saw it once. It was a solid documentary and it gives you a great appreciation for the man and his legacy. Didn't grab me the way it does you but I can see why it could be one's favorite.

Some of my favorite sports documentaries are:

Murderball
The Two Escobars
Endless Summer
Senna

Murderball I have watched several times.

I look forward to seeing this new documentary called 'Free Solo' that follows Alex Honnold attempt at climbing the 3000 ft El Capitan in Yosemite without any ropes. I'm not into rock climbing but saw a 60 minutes segment on this guy and its absolutely insane what he does. For those interested

Book of Manning was really good. I also liked:

The replacements - when Kentucky basketball went on probation, and all the superstars went on to the pros, 5 of the lesser heralded players carried on, and went to the NCAA tournament only to lose in the last second shot by Christian Leattner. Their jerseys are hanging today in Rupp Arena.

Duke Lacrosse - it was criminal how those guys were railroaded.

Jim Valvano "Survive and Advance" - Great one! One of the greatest, most courageous speeches ever.

30 for 30: You Don't Know Bo... Don't know how you can watch it and walk away without thinking he's the greatest athlete ever, apologies to Jim Thorpe...don't think they've done a 30 for 30 on him yet.

I've got that great Bo Jackson baseball card that shows him shirtless in his football uniform pants with his baseball bat over his shoulders. He was incredible!

Marshall University: Ashes to Glory - Tells the story of the 1970 Marshall Football plane crash, We Are Marshall stays fairly true to the facts and very true to the spirit.
