MSU Red Cedar Message Board

The Two Escobar's one was great.

it was a major story here considering he was shot after an own goal against the US during the US held World Cup. Anyone who watched that tournament with any interest remembered that.

Oh my God. Yeah! This is what I would most like to see, ESPN or not.

Not many people outside of MSU fans would be overly interested in that. You and I would watch it, but Bammer fan, U Fan, Orangebloods fan would have little to no interest.

If there is ever one involving MSU basketball, it would be on Magic and Bird. But because HBO did one a couple years ago, and ESPN just did a special on Magic...it's not going to happen.

No, you don't, which is the point I was trying to make originally. People are arguing that no one would be interested in a Flintstones 30 for 30. I'm saying that doesn't matter, because it's an interesting story and people are going to watch it whether or not they cared about it before.

I think the point is despite how much we love the Flintstones, it's probably not a big enough story for a national audience. The two Escobars featured a drug cartel, world cup soccer, a choke job by a great team, and the murder of a player as a result. That is a WAY more enticing story line than some college hoops players out of Flint that took what was already a solid program to a NC. There are probably a bunch of stories just like the Flintstones scattered throughout the sporting world.

Flintstones ass clowns

How about how Art Schlichter? How the hell di he loose so much money so quickly? Nobody can gamble sporting events losing so badly. He must of lost 80% of the bets he made. I think he got drafted pretty high in the NFL and only developed his gambling habits.

So this is different than the doucebags they are including on the 30 for 30's? Someone cares about 1980's smu, 1980/90's Miami hurricane assholes, some soccer dude,fab 5, some OK running back who got lazy, .............

Not sure how old the stories can be, but Doug Collins and his 72 Olympic team would make a great espn flick

I'm really looking forward to "Benji" which is part of the new slate of 30 for 30's. It's about Ben Wilson who played for Simeon High in Chicago and was, tragically, murdered during his senior year of high school. I heard Sonny Vaccarro on the radio, recently, talking about what a talent Wilson was. Vaccarro said he was, basically, Tracy McGrady in size and skill. The kid was pretty unknown until the summer before his senior year when he blew up in the camp circuit.

The film played at Tribeca this year and got some really great reviews.

Agreed. The storyline is a no-brainer fit for the 30 on 30 series.

That's funny. Former NFL quarterback blows life away gambling. I guess you're right, the NFL isn't too big. However, soccer has huge appeal as well as cheating in the former SWC. SWC stood for "sure we cheat conference." I say wow that you say wow. Do you remember Art on the cover of several SI magazines? Gambling by professional sports athletes is probably not much news to you. The can't miss running back forgot to play a lot of games in the NFL because he was lazy. That is a way better story than gambling. Your response reveals your stupidity.
