    "the two escobars" - espn 30 for 30 from 2010
    I know it's been 5 years since they released it but it's still my favorite sports documentary ever made. I've watched it maybe 30 times in 5 yrs. It's a fuggen masterpiece!!!

                      it is fantastic. i agree it's the best of the 30 for 30s. my dad and i actually watched it together i think like 3 or 4 years ago on some holiday, maybe it was father's day. we basically just started watching it not really knowing what it was and we just sat there pretty much dead silent for the duration.

                      this one and "once brothers" are so goddamn good. a close third is "unguarded", the one about chris herron, baller from boston who had a heroin problem. all three of these are absolute gold and all are required viewing.

                          Strange I am watching it as well. Good post homie, I didn't think ESPN would allow the entire thing on the net.

                              Columbia would be an unreal nation if they let drug lords do their thing

                              Never realized this guy helped so many and got violent only when the gov't turned on him

                                  But I got out of the whole thing is Columbia is very passionate about soccer and also going after the drug dealers ruined the country

                                    Half of SBR can't read. Subtitles make it a NO GO.

                                      I watched the entire thing, the director did a great job of showing two separate paths that ended in the same result.

                                      I find it sad that Pablo is the prominent one.

                                          Very good post. The weaving back n forth of the two stories was masterful

                                            I watched a tv series about Pablo Escobar. Patron del Mal. Great series. The guy was a monster. He actually terrorized his country until they changed the constitution so that he could not be extradited to the US. It eventually destroyed him and the country.

                                                    Pablo is the one people want to be more though and that's not good.


                                                    Oh and no offense Homie, I do still prefer the Bo Jackson 30/30 over this one

                                                        excellent

                                                        Pablo Escobar seemed to be a decent guy to many until you crossed him

                                                          Oh and no offense Homie, I do still prefer the Bo Jackson 30/30 over this one
                                                          Ra the bo one is good but this one is intellectual bro. Emotional and intellectual. It is next level stuff. So deep

                                                            I openly hate soccer and I still loved it.
                                                            They killed him for scoring an own goal.
                                                            Made me realize the gap in commitment is a litte wider than USA Soccer is willing to cross.

                                                              Yep, still my favorite one.

                                                              The part where the message showed up on the players' TV sets made my stomach drop.

The inside story is that it was just a fight that escalated. Now after learning so much more about andres I think he got drunk and tired of hearing the insults so he started talking trash back and it escalated
