Should ESPN make a 30 for 30 about Brady and BB?

[thecore762]

Okay, I really hate ESPN, but there is no denying that their 30 for 30 documentaries are amazing, I hope they make a piece about Brady and BB in their 17 year tenure together, the ups and downs. I'd love to see such thing.

 

[Former Fan]

If they did, I wouldn't watch it.

**** them.

 

[The Brandon Five]

Well, 30 for 30 was Bill Simmons' baby, so I doubt there will be any good ones now that he has been exiled. Maybe The Ringer will create something similar?

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Would I have to tune into ESPN to watch it? Because, if so, the answer is "no."

 

[The Boston Patriot]

I dount they would make one without Brady abd Belichick supporting it and I don't think Brady would ever agree to anything with them. I would hope not anyway.

What if I told you GOATS travelled in pairs.

fuk espn.

Coming from ESPN it would likely be a piece of crap anyways. You'd better believe there'd be plenty of Spygate and Deflategate stuff in it.

It's not made by espn. It's made by individual directors.

Then let them find a different individual network to air it.

Waiting for NFL Network to present Tom Brady 'A Football Life' ...like they did with BB - maybe wait till he retires first

Eh well if one is made, I'm gonna watch it reguardless of what channel it's on

If they make one I kinda have to watch. Though I'll be upset if they don't put in BB's response to the trophies, when they bring up spygate, being tainted by calling it ridiculous and then naming all the great players that played on those great teams, etc. And he rambled off about 25 names at least.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Depends on who makes it. It would have to be someone a) good, and b) invested in the Pats' success. I don't want some hack from New York attempting to paint an "like them or not...", "maybe they're evil cheaters who embody the worst of everything, but..." portrayal of these guys.

And since that's 100% what ESPN would do, no, they shouldn't make a 30 for 30 on them. **** ESPN.

They air on ESPN. The money comes from ESPN. It'll be the story ESPN wants.

ESPN isn't exactly known for letting creative run with its vision. They fired the guy who came up with the whole 30 for 30 format because he wasn't controllable enough.

Disney doesn't mess around: they're calling the shots and dictating what they're getting, and creative is just there to fill in the blanks and congeal it all together into something critics won't hate.

 

[festy1986]

30 for 30 used to be amazing.

Then they ran out of stories worth telling in that format. Or they are choosing ones that are.

I watched the xfl one the other night and there some legit interesting stuff to be told but that doc was brutally boring.

 

[SuperStang83]

NO, find an independent company that can do the same thing.

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

Some are good some aren't. I liked the Bo Jackson one, but the Fab five one was among the most racist claptrap I've ever seen on a television. Buy yeah, ESPN would more than likely screw it up.

Also, I'm pretty sure the real story would be considered too unbelievable. That last game is like the legend of Ruth calling his HR.

The first season of 30 for 30 was amazing. I haven't kept up with the following seasons.
