The Bronx is Burning

anyone else watching this? While it's pretty bad it is very entertaining.

According to this movie:

George Steinbrenner is a complete buffoon
Billy Martin was bat-[censored] crzay
Thurman Munson was about as interesting as watching paint dry
and Reggie Jackson was 12 years old

Good stuff!

Sums up all of ESPN drama.

Excluding playmakers. That show was just [censored] awesome.

Bronx is Burning is way better than Tilt at least.
I think Tilt and the Pete Rose movie they did have lowered my expectations and standards. So I'm actually enjoying Bronx is Burning a bit more than I would have expected.

Seems better written and better acted than much of the standard ESPN entertainment crap.

Also, I like John Turturro a lot.

Best season finale... ever.

I hate the NFL for not being man enough to let that show continue.

Playmakers was amazing. Great show. Bronx is burning kinda sux. Turturro is good, but I lost all respect for him when I saw transformers.

Turturro would have to rape my mother for me to lose all respect for him. He rules.

I actually really liked the Pete Rose story they did. Probably because the sound track kicked ass. Tom Sizemore was cringeworthy, but I actually like the whole package.

true, most of their [censored] sux, but this isn't horrible though...still, another vote for playmakers being teh nuts for espn drama
