ESPN plans a nine-episode series, called Man in the Arena, on TB

I will watch, but it is going to be a puff piece like The Last Dance. Tommy making Tommy look good. Like Michael tried to do (and he came off as such a prick, IMO).

Patriots fans living right up to their reputation. Player (doesn’t matter if he is the GOAT) leaves and gets promptly trashed.

I did not trash TB. Just saying that the doc, like the Last Dance, will be a puff piece from his perspective.

Still love him and what he did for this franchise. Said Michael came off as a prick to me.
 
He came off as the GOAT

The Last Dance was one of the best things to ever be shown on ESPN

It was entertaining, but it was about Michael from Michael's point of view and designed to make Michael look good.

I thought he came off as a prick in many instances. He already was the GOAT.

I would have liked to see more of the other Bulls.

“Tommy making Tommy look good.”

Yeah, “still love him”. Sure.

Will he address the events around Deflategate and give Goodell the public trashing that he deserves? I would watch that.

I’m hoping they will and think it would be a pretty disingenuous documentary if they didn’t, because like it or not this was a big event in his career.

I’m interested to see how this is received. Jordan was almost universally adored but a lot of people hate Brady. I wonder if it will change anyone’s perceptions.

No your right. MJs the GOAT. He’s also a major prick.
 
I really enjoyed TLD and it's the first thing I've watched on ESPN in years because of their anti-Patriots bias. All I could think was I wonder if Brady will do one now that he's out of NE. Question answered.
 
If it is anything close to Tom vs Time, it will be worthwhile to tune it. I really like Gotham a lot as a director. He is a great storyteller.

I do enjoy how the media/sports world view Jordan and Brady as the same. Whoever thought 20 years ago we would have the GOAT of the NFL alongside the GOAT of the NBA?
 
You seem to care enough to respond to both comments

Maybe read slower since you didn’t seem to understand my replies

I said he’s the GOAT and nobody should care he wasn’t a role model. Not sure how you got that I cared if he was a prick or not from that.

Tom is universally beloved by his teammates. No teammate has ever said a negative thing about him, and they go out of their way to praise him (even guys that didn't make it through training camp or have beef with the Patriots.)

Puff piece isn't needed here.

I'm excited to see this, though waiting a few years after retirement would have been a better timeframe.

I honestly don’t care what you said about him not needing to be a role model. Both myself and another poster said he comes out as a prick. You responded to both comments. Doesn’t matter how you responded, the fact is you cared enough to type something in response. Maybe you need to comprehend my previous post.

Michael Jordan was the greatest marketer of all-time and one heck of a basketball player, too. But his enduring legacy will be about branding, and he once again pulled it off in a fake documentary trying to make him look like a non-prick.

This is the reason Tom left all this extra brand stuff Bill would of never gone for it this much and honestly I think he was already annoyed with it.

You can dislike it but Bill despises players who act bigger than the team
