Tom Brady documentary!

doubledragon

There is going to be a documentary released in 2021 about Tom Brady! It is going to be called "The man in the arena" and is going to be a nine part documentary about Tom Brady and his Super Bowl seasons. The man himself will narrarate throughout the documentary and relive his Super Bowl wins and his career with the Patriots. There is already talk in the trading card section of the forum about his cards increasing in value due to the release of this must see documentary.

I'll watch for sure.

I've heard a lot of people saying that the Jordan series can't be called a documentary, since he had power to change and remove footage, and I agree.

I assume the Brady one will be the same. I'm sure it will bring a lot of hate.

The stories of Tom from college are really legendary and show what he has in his heart and mind that enabled him to get this far.

I agree completely!

If you want to film a documentary on a person and he/she wants to contribute, great, but if they have control over the content it's NOT a documentary.

I chose not to watch the Jordan ball washing. Was any of his "problems" discussed, or just wash, rinse, repeat?

All of Jordan’s negative personality traits were not glossed over. The incident in which he punched Steve Kerr in the eye was discussed. The thing about Jordan is he was secure enough to admit when he was wrong, and had the decency to try and make amends. There should be more of that going around, especially now.

but the degenerate gambling addiction?

Good, we should hear the entire story.

Did they mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars he paid to bookies ?

MJ being drop-kicked out of the league for a year and a half due to said degen gambling addiction is one of the best kept secrets ever

if anyone truly believes that arguably the most competitive athlete of all time decided to -- on his own terms -- hang his sneakers up in his prime and go mario mendoza it in the minors for a spell, i've got some oceanfront property in minnesota to sell you

A degenerate gambler will lose all the assets, the house, and his/her family due to his/her addiction. Jordan lost none of those. Just because he can lose a million dollars, which would financially ruin most of us, but is like $1000 to him, does not make him a compulsive gambler.

so if I cant go a day without betting but I have the money no problem at all?

he was ejected from the league for a year because his gambling was out of control

Care to provide any proof of your assertions, or did you just hear it at the barbershop? And to answer your question, if you have the money to do it, then there is no problem. Gambling is not illegal.

it was not in the documentary so it didn't happen, of course how foolish of me

Jordan can do no wrong with some people. Everything negative was excused.

I believe the "rumors" about Jordan being banned from basketball because of gambling. I think they are basically fact to a large degree if not a full degree.

There's no way with his success at basketball that he quits basketball to play baseball.

If he was "clean" and wanted to try baseball, he could have simply done that in the basketball off season.

The concept that he wanted to go play minor league baseball is literally the dumbest thing ever presented with a straight face.

there is no story related to any other sports figure as stupid sounding as I'll take a year off to go baseball and stuff.

even in real life I cant think of anything less plausible , its right up there with OJ is innocent

Nobody has a gambling problem until they are broke, that’s the bottom line.

So Jordan spends thousands of hours trying to become a baseball player, goes on the road to backwater towns by bus, because he’s banned from basketball? That’s an even stupider idea the the original rumor.

yeah because the alternative of him sitting on his couch eating potato chips and watching another team win his championships was a better way of masking it, right?

the guy had to do something athletically to try and cover up what was really happening, otherwise he would've had a hell of a lot of 'splaining to do, and none of it would've passed the smell test. sucking it up in the slums of baseball was his ONLY avenue.

again, if you think the most competitive athlete in the history of sports decided to forgo two seasons in his prime and allow another team to hoist the Larry O'Brien, then you don't know jack squat about Michael Jordan. we're talking about a guy who still to this day harbors animosity towards people from his high school days who slighted him athletically, yet incredibly your brain has come to the conclusion that he was cool with the Houston Rockets driving a wedge in a 7-peat while he ran off and did his best Mario Mendoza impersonation?

dude i truly hope you don't suffocate to death on naiveté at some point in your life

His father had just been murdered, and he wanted to honor his memory by playing baseball. Grief affects everyone differently, so I don’t doubt that it was part of his grieving process.

So you bought that story huh?

If Jordan "really" cared so much about playing MLB for his father, he would have already done it while his father was alive.

honor his father's memory by batting .202 for the Birmingham Barons as opposed to winning a fourth and fifth consecutive championship with the Chicago Bulls?

did you type that with a straight face?

Jordan was of course hissed at the NBA for doing what they did, so that anger helped motivate him to try to whatever it takes to excel at MLB.

Perhaps if he would have been successful at MLB, maybe he would have never returned to the NBA. But that's just a guess.

he wasnt even good enough to make that baseball team he was just parachuted in . He sucked at baseball and he was a degenerate gambler who was given a choice to leave for a bit before he embarrassed himself and the league .

I will go further and say his gambling caused the death of his own father.

spends thousands of hours ?

Hitting .202 at the AA level was a hell of an accomplishment. There are guys who played their entire lives, got drafted by an MLB team that couldn’t do that.

if he wasnt Jordan he would have been laughed off the field. Your theory for the baseball foolishness is what? He was having a midlife crisis ?

Yeah no .

A flat earth is more plausible than MJ taking a year off to play baseball because something something

galaxy27

if this was a case adjudicated in court there would circumstantial evidence flowing out of every orifice the judge had

a garden-variety superstar would be honored by any comparison made to him/her, yet i remember the time Jordan caught wind of someone saying that Clyde Drexler was essentially the same player. he was apoplectic. but i'm supposed to sit here and believe that MJ would leave hoops of his own volition at the height of his career and be so benevolent as to crack the door for Clyde the Glide to potentially take one of his rings, as well as his limelight? which is exactly what ended up happening?

i had planned on drinking tonight but i'm gonna have to start early now after all this

Tabe

To be fair, Michael did hit .252 in the Fall League in '94.
