Which team should get the next "Last Dance" style multi part documentary?

[Master Thrasher]

I have a two disc DVD which is part doc and full games. Also, one of the first 30 for 30's was A Kings Ransom, which talked about the trade from Edmonton to LA.


I have another idea: what about early NASCAR. It started out as drivers trying outrun the cops and became one of the most popular sports in America and is declining now. There's a lot of unique personalities in racing like Richard Petty, Dale Ernhardt, and others.

"A Kings Ransom" was the first episode of 30 for 30.

I'm not a NASCAR guy fan at all but I think that deserves the next Ken Burns treatment. I think he would crush it just like he did with Country Music.

Part 3: The Gift Baskets

The 1994 San Francisco 49ers would be an interesting subject. They have enough personality with Deion, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Merton Hanks, Ken Norton Jr, etc. + the NFL Films aspect which probably has a ton of good footage that has never seen the light of day.

Seifert's run kind of gets glossed over/ignored but that was the last winning SB 49ers team of that dominant era, came off losing 3 of 4 NFC Title Games, and would collapse nearly overnight into mediocrity in just a span of 5 seasons.

A-Rod got the biggest one.

Trying to write this without being immediately dismissed as a BITTER NEW ENGLAND MAN. Derek Jeter is a very good baseball player and a stand up fella but it just seems like ESPN and New York sports media thinks he's way more interesting than he actually is. Unless ESPN turns into just E! and talks about all of the hotties he's schtupped.

I think that's fair. Jeter was a very good to great ballplayer. As a personality he shunned controversy as much as possible and tried to project professionalism as much as possible. It doesn't seem like fodder for a fascinating documentary unless you're into creating demigods.

I thought "Well, wasn't he raised by a single parent?" but no! From sounds of Wikipedia, he had an idealistic childhood. I'm just really wondering where conflict in story is. It seems like it'll be very easy to verge into hagiography.

Jeter is a “very good” player?

 

[King Kamala]

Relatively speaking IRT to the all time greats (people who get hagiographic docuseries produced about them). How many MVP Awards did he win?

Jeter is a “very good” player?

I know. But he hit .310 and at the end of the day his team made it to the playoffs several times despite his horrendous fielding.

 

[King Kamala]

I was surprised to find out Jeter got most votes for MVP in 2006. He came in 2nd place and just barely lost to Justin Morneau (who presumbably won't get an ESPN docuseries).

He should’ve won 2

I know about the advanced stats but

Career Leaders &amp Records for Fielding % as SS | Baseball-Reference.com

Career Fld% Leaders:1.Omar Vizquel/.9847/, 2.Troy Tulowitzki/.9846/, 3.Freddy Galvis/.9837/, 4.Jimmy Rollins/.9834/, 5.J.J. Hardy/.9832/, 6.Mike Bordick/.9821/, 7.<strong>Carlos Correa</strong>/.9817/, 8.<strong>José Iglesias</strong>/.9816/, 9.Rey Sánchez/.9813/, 10.<strong

Him being on this list has to mean something.

 

[alkeiper]

I’m being mostly facetious, but fielding percentage really doesn’t mean much at all.

 

[King Kamala]

I didn't expect Luc Longley side sequel to be an option.

 

[King Kamala]

Peacock has a six part docuseries on Joe Montana so I guess that's an answer too?

 

[HarleyQuinn]

I'm always curious how those docs are, same for any HBO Max original specials, etc. I've found them to be mostly split with some being good and others being so so.

I really hope this is an April Fool's Day joke or else I'm gonna totally watch this garbage and make at least five posts about it that'll elicit angry, oh really, and middle finger reacts from @HarleyQuinn
