    "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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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 word on the inside is that he was killed because he,talked back to LOS PEPES who were the same ones who killed pablo. 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
