Charlie Brooker's Anti Viral wipe from last night was brilliant.

Funny and absolutely scathing of the UK & US Governments response to the Coronavirus a very good watch!!

GetOverTheBar

Never seen it to the other night - caught an episode of Derry Girls on E4 I think it was.

Very good, I actually laughed out loud.

Episode 5 of Last Dance was good.

Suprised MJ approved parts of this episode - comes across as a right cnut - all about the benjamins with him - thats for sure
He has a couple of billion reasons why he doesn't give a shite. Have yet to watch #5.

Obviously he has riches beyond anyones wildest imagination but it doesnt mean he isnt coming across as an even bigger cnut that before (still one of the best players of all time)

Called out Pippen for not playing because of the issue over $$$ - he was sitting on a contract of over $35m at the same time Pippin was on a pittance
Reebok logo
Refused to back the Democrat because 'Republicans buy sneakers too' (said this was a joke)
Isiah Thomas incident
The Kukoc incident

Trying not to put any spoilers in - still cant believe he let some of the stuff go out without removing it.

A fantastic series so far

Its brilliant isn't it! Didn't know much about Jordan prior to watching it, looked like controversy and disagreements were an important part of motivating him.

I really enjoyed Normal People. Thought it excellent.

Is/was Jordan a cnut as someone on here says or just a highly driven, motivated freak of an athlete?

Is the Jordan doc worth a go as a sports fan, but not a basketball one?

Yes, I'm not a basketball fan but I've really enjoyed it, very driven guy.

Without sounding like an old biddy ringing Joe Duffy, what's with all the riding?

They're young and horny. We get it. But i don't want yer mans danglers staring at me every time I'm supping a cup of tae.

Jordan documentary is brilliant, great seeing the old 90's footage too.  I would tend to say he was just as motivated a person as there was from a sports perspective, all he was interested in was winning basketball games.

I wouldn't call him a cnut but can see why others wouldn't warm to him but doubt he'd have reached the heights without that type of personality. The common theme was he was always trying to prove someone wrong throughout his career, needed that bit of controversy to drive him too. He's a Roy Keane type character with the ability of Ronaldo, I'd class him as the greatest sportsman of all time; I've no interest in Basketball either.
