@mariner4life @canefan I also watched this recently. Love getting invested in their stories. Said to my wife, the only downside is those fucking coaches making me feel like such a self-absorbed piston wristed gibbon. The HC makes something like $45k and is totally invested in those kids. No idea what the assistant makes, but he seems to care just as much.

certainly a change from the first four seasons where the coaches made me feel like a more than decent human being anyway.

The assistant was on SFA, they were basically on to single income the wife said. And the coach in the wheelchair, all of them love those kids. When the coach keeps yelling "I'm not giving up on you!!!!!" was spine tingling.

So emotional when the coaches were in tears about the cancelled state tourney. Not for themselves, but for the kids

Lee Ralph?
‘Take me to the ramp’: The story of skateboarding legend Lee Ralph
More than 30 years after he tore through the global skating world, people still remember the barefoot New Zealander with the wild red beard.

Yeah it's painful viewing in hindsight. Mike Munro from our 60 Minutes was among the worst. How did they think that asking that was appropriate?

No I haven't, is it a similar theme?

The Price of Gold
30 for 30 on Tonya and Nancy.
Well, Tonya really. Kerrigan didn't take part.
Have to say it challenged my previous preconceptions about Tonya.
Sure it came across quite sympathetic to her, and gave a lot of background to the trailer trashy upbringing (btw haven't seen the movie), but I quite like her as a result. Certainly far more articulate and likeable when she was at her peak than I gave her credit for back in 1994.
Whether she had prior knowledge or not I'm not 100% convinced either way, but I'm leaning heavily (85.762%) to thinking she didn't. I suspect if there was any real compelling evidence authorities would have jumped at it (especially that DA with the awesome fake tan). The hubby, "body guard" and hire-a-thugs would make a bag of hammers look like Norman Einstein.
Worth a watch.
4 triple Axels out 5 1980s hair-dos (if we're scoring ike the movie thread).

Pffft, you expect me to read a whole post when you haven't even watched the movie.
