love that clip so much. the squirrelly little dude talking shit, the batshit insane coaches who are so intimidating that jacked teenagers in full pads are scared of them, the good-not-great 4* LB on the team who people start acting like he's a generational talent, it's so good.
I remember hearing about Taurean Charles but haven't watched the documentary. IIRC that kid had over 30 sacks in one season in HS and then got into a bunch of trouble before leaving UF. Pretty sure he beat the shit out of someone, threw them off a house or something, and then legitimately threw a beer keg at them. Will have to check that one out.
oh I got the joke, but I'm trying to remember if dodge city was one of the better teams in the conference or a doormat
Fuck was it hard to find this thread bc the search button sucks. Apparently Independence is the best team in the conference this year first year post that slapdick Jason Brown
Man I haven’t thought about Taurean Charles in forever. The doc was called ‘Year of the Bull’ IIRC. Basically a compilation of him body slamming teammates and fighting coaches at practice. Great flick!
Dude ran for 1200 yards behind the worst OL and OC in college football. He’s a monster, just needs to quit getting dinged up and winded every other play.
He’s had shoulder/AC joint issues his entire career and had offseason surgery. Talent wise he’s a monster, but he’s never been high on conditioning and gets winded after 3 carries.
Because mp can't articulate things well, I had to do some googling and it's not Last Chance U. It's from the creator of Last Chance U and it does follow juco cheerleaders. EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has ordered Cheer, a six-episode docuseries about competitive college cheerleaders, from Last Chance U creator Greg Whiteley and his One Potato Productions, Boardwalk Pictures and Caviar. Cheer is set to premiere January 8 on Netflix. Netflix Directed and executive produced by Whiteley, Cheer follows the competitive cheerleaders of Navarro College in Corsicana, TX. Led by Monica Aldama, the small junior college has won 14 National Championships since 2000. Per the official synopsis: “The stakes on the mat are high, but for these athletes, the only thing more brutal than their workouts and more exceptional than their performances are the stories of adversity and triumph behind the team members themselves. Over the course of six episodes, viewers will join the Navarro College cheerleaders as they face injuries, sacrifice, personal setbacks and triumphs, all leading up to one nail-biting and adrenaline pumping final competition at the National Championship.” https://deadline.com/2019/12/netfli...nce-u-creator-cheer-greg-whiteley-1202803798/
I wonder if TDiddy is still working at that Chevy dealership. My lease is almost up. Edit: His Facebook says he indeed works at Autonation Chevy Pembroke Pines. Too far from me, unfortunately.
Halfway through the Cheer series, it’s very good. Same vibe as the football version, actually a nice change of pace.
It’s high level competitive cheerleading, standards appear to be pretty high in that regard. They showed some video from tryouts and then had an interview clip from the head coach talking about a girl that made it even though she couldn’t really cheer, but had the look they wanted.
