Two incredible stories the past two weekends. The first was with a Kenyan runner from Alaska:

The second was a Jewish hockey player that is playing Germany:

I know others on here have praised OTL. For me, this is how great ESPN could be if they could just stop with the crap of Mike and Mike, MNF, etc.

Shoutout supported. This show is always my first go-to example when the idiots start screaming about how everything ESPN does sucks.

I think the issue with it is that ESPN isn't this kind of great material all the time. What's worse is that the channel they created to harbor said material has been since relegated into another bastardized ESPN2/News castoff.

Whenever people start talking about how terrible Hilter was my first go-to example is that he built some really nice roads.

Bad analogy.

These shows are lame. I'd rather watch speedboating at 2AM like in the 90's than this sappy BabaWawa-esque shit.

Oh, and fuck Bryant Gumble, too, for being a part of that lame ass genre.


Then you are an idiot. These past two shows have shown true athletes overcoming real human problems. They are great stories and they focus on the sport as much as the trials.

They have shown that Kenyan / Alaska story about 10 times.
