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.

Him gambling with security on who could throw a quarter closer to the wall was bizarre but understandable if you know much about him or listen to anyone talk about him and the competitiveness.

I think he does have a gambling problem but he has so much money that it's not really an issue. Just because you haven't lost everything doesn't mean you're not addicted to gambling!!!

That white haired Security Guard was like a Peter Kay spoof character!

Jerry Krause is disgusting...wanting to get rid of a winning coach and team to try and replace them and win again....all to show it was all about him and not the team...what a wee dick

[gallsman]

Krause is by no means likeable but that's a bit of a reductive and simplistic analysis of it. The GM's responsibility is to the organisation, not the players. Pippen's contact was coming to an end and he needed to get paid. Jordan was getting 30m a year, a salary that wasn't passed until 2017 (I think).

Keeping the team together and going was impossible and always going to be impossible. It was how he went about it that grates.

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

Keeping this here as there may be some people watching the show who don't follow the American sports thread. For anyone interested in some discussion or analysis of the "Republicans buy sneakers too" comment, ESPN Daily podcast did a great, balanced job on it yesterday.

Will check it out. He's a very, very single-minded individual so I'm not surprised he didn't get involved in much outside of what he saw as "the job".

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

There's a good multi part podcast on Hernandez called Gladiator.

Caliphate/Kalifat on Netflix is very good. Superb Scandinavian TV again.

Normal People. Don't get the raving people have done about this show. Maybe it's more suited to women cos the wife thought it great. I kept thinking, why has the lad given up on the GAA as he was obviously decent.

Quite a good programme, and Marianna is easy on the eye.

Gets the baps out at refreshingly regular intervals

GAA and riding. Sure what's not to like?
Conall not the first young prospect to give up football when he moves up to the big smoke either.

Four watched, and I'm still a bit meh on this.

Nothing wrong with seeing a nice pair of baps, but it's nearly like they're in there to beef up a storyline that's a bit lacking.

It's a bit like swearing in songs. I could swear for Ireland, but when there's unnecessary swearing in songs, I'm like, nah there's no need for that like.

[Smokin Joe]

The missus loves it, so I'm watching it with her, but I think the main premise of the storyline is so convulated and unreal that it becomes tortuous at times (we are 7 episodes in).

SPOILER ALERT: They endure 10 months of pain and torture not being with each other just because they had a mix up over the meaning of a sentence. Like in real life as if he wouldn't have asked her outright to move in with her if he had such strong feelings for her.

Swedish drama Caliphate on Netflix is absolutely gripping. Eight episodes of 45 mins.
