Theres 82 games in a season to make the playoffs you have to a 500. Record. 8 teams from each conference our ranked based on record With 4 rounds the 1st round consist of the 1st seed vs the 8th seed, 2nd vs 7th and so on. The finals are the west conference team that won the 3rd round vs the east conference team that won the third round. Each round is a best of 7 series. Although back in mj's time the 1st round was a best of 5

Dennis didn’t do drugs but hella fukin alcohol and sex.. wrecked a motorcycle drunk fukd up his knees ended whatever career he had left at that point..

Hey Ballotelli forgive my spelling, assisted one of the greatest goals in man city history.. doesn’t matter anything else he did

Dennis got picked up by some white farm family in Oklahoma that took him in for a bit actually. He’s had a troubled life

I think the closest thing Britain got to this was Leicester winning the Prem on a miniscule budget by using data and backing that up with scouting. They identified Mahrez and Konte as massively underrated players that all the top teams overlooked based on yards covered, ball retention, chances created etc and ended up with the best midfield partnership in the Prem that year and made a huge profit selling them

The owner of the Red Sox who offered the big contract to Billy Beane is John Henry who now owns the Liverpool football club.

Great movie. Top tier.

Yes! Bring back the Golden Goal!!!

Vikings fan. Love this series!!!

its funny that this super bowl is chiefs vs 49ers lol

Now you have to watch a movie called Fever Pitch. The secondary storyline is the Red Sox season where they finally win the World Series.

Talk more about the movie in the reaction after the film

Left foot right foot left foot right foot 😂

Secretariat is another really good film based on a true story well worth watching

Great reaction! You should react to Draft Day with Kevin costner, about the NFL draft.

lol the, (Krs one) lyrics to the song you thought was creepy... "Step into a world Where there's no one left But the very best No MC can test Step into a world, where hip-hop is me Where MC's and DJ's Build up their skills as they play every day for the, rapture".

Another thing to consider about Utah is that of all cities in the US, Utah consistently has one of the best home field/court advantages in the league because they play at elevation, which Utah players are accustomed to, but the opposing team is not. So for Jordan to play with food poisoning, and at elevation is a superhuman feat

"I'll be praying for you" is just something a religious person would say to someone they feel for (in the US). In this movie, I think it shows the player's knowledge that Bean's job is in danger.

"No baseball films"? Field of Dreams Bull Durham Love of the Game Sandlot League of Their Own My own five to start with. (Not saying they're the best baseball movies... just the first five that came to mind.)

From a different thread, this may be a series you should consider, "a 7-part, 8-hour docu-series by Jon Bois on the history of the Vikings. The series is a masterpiece."

Guys. Ive been in and around baseball for 50 years. This system will not win the WS. My San Francisco Giants won it with 15th/30 payroll..but we had chemistry. We won it in 2010, 2012 and 2014..never having a payroll over 10th outt of 30 teams. But it was never based on metrics, or metrics were used as AN input, but our manager made decisions based on his experience and we won. You cannot win based on stats because they do not account for the moment and all of the variables at that moment. Period.

Have you watched Major League about the Indians?

Its a pressure cooker job and a marathon, not a sprint. All pro QBs have been cream of the crop their whole lives at least until college and have been in leadership situations for just as long before they get to the NFL. You have to be groomed to be an NFL QB and have crazy talent and desire. If your team doesn't believe in you, even if you have the measurables, you are out. If your team and management love you but you lose accuracy, you are out. IF you decline but are still pretty good, your team will get a replacement ready. Your backups don't really like you and want you to fasil so they get their shot. The media won't stop asking questions. Seems like constant pressure and not sure it would be worth the money for alot of people. At the end of it all you probably get hit the most for the longest and will have problems with your brain later in life. Tough job.

Great review and reactions!

A great baseball player is one of the hardest things to be. You have to hit a round ball with a round stick ......square. It is only sport, doing something 3 out of 10 times (hitting 300) is a great. Can you name another sport or job where doing 30 percent of the time is great. Can't say weather forecaster either.

I was at games 16 and 20 in the streak. I'm not even an A's fan but I'm a fan of the game and went. This movie gives me chills watching it. It was so hype in the Bay Area when this was going on. It was a hell of a time and place to be. The only thing I've felt that was the same was being at Bonds' record breaking home run game. It's a feeling of euphoria that everyone feels and its electric. I hope you guys get to be at a game that sparks this kind of vibe!

I'm a Detroit Tigers fan first, but I adopted the Dodgers as my National League team in 1981 (when I was 11 yrs old) because of Fernando Valenzuela. My dream World Series would be Tigers vs. Dodgers. You guys should check out Mark "The Bird" Fidrych.. a pitcher who burst onto the national scene in 1976.

Maybe you guys would want to react to the mid 70s Cincinnati Reds. The '75 & '76 Reds are arguably the greatest team ever assembled in MLB. The only other team, that might compete, was the '27 Yankees.

I was 15, a pitcher in school and organized Summer league, when Fernando was a rookie. I was also a huge Cincinnati Reds fan. Each league only had two divisions back then. The Reds and Dodgers were the big rivalries in the NL West. But, ya just couldn't not love Fernando. They didn't mention this in the video, but he was a good hitter in his first 4-5 seasons. There, seemingly, wasn't anywhere a person could go, in that rookie season, where people weren't talking about Fernando. What a fun Summer that was. I became a Mets fan after that.

BTW, do not make the mistake that many non-Americans make. The conflicts in the 1960s you saw in the documentary were not between Mexicans and Americans. It was between Americans (Mexican-Americans) and Americans.(Eurpean--Americans). Chicanos are Americans.

Saw him pitch in Baltimore as an Oriole!

As a kid growing up in California, I remember this well. I didn’t know about all the other things happening at the time, but I remember Fernando and how amazing he was. He brought so many people together. I’m primarily an Angels fan, but I love all the California teams. I remember so many of the players who on the Dodgers team back then, and of course, Tommy Lasorda. It sucks how crappy his pay was. That’s pretty disgraceful.

Most people don't know that Pat Mahomes' dad was an MLB pitcher for many years. His dad was also a great football and basketball player in high school. ...Kirk Cousins has earned a fortune in the NFL. Look up his career earnings. You will be amazed!

Mi pipinnilo es muay calido.

I swear I still get a lump in my throat whenever I see this man. He represented so much to Dodger fans and the people of LA. And he handled it all with compassion and respect. He grew up the son of a poor farmer and was a humble and modest man who carried himself with polite manners and grace. Still one of my greatest sports heroes. ♥

Here is a list of all the MLM Strikes and lockouts and the amount of games it cost each season. The 1972 Major League Baseball strike, which canceled 86 games. The 1973 Major League Baseball lockout, which cancelled no games. The 1976 Major League Baseball lockout, which cancelled no games. The 1980 Major League Baseball strike, which cancelled no games. The 1981 Major League Baseball strike, which cancelled 713 games. The 1985 Major League Baseball strike, which cancelled no games. The 1990 Major League Baseball lockout, which cancelled no games but postponed 1990's opening day to April 9. The 1994-95 Major League Baseball strike, which cancelled 938 games and the entire 1994 postseason, including the 1994 World Series. The 2021-22 Major League Baseball lockout, which cancelled no games but postponed 2022's opening day to April 7.

Love your other channel for sports thought this was gonna be tv and movies not sport related so far everything on the new channel is also sports

Fernando still does radio broadcasts in Spanish for the Dodgers.

I love the old stuff! I was playing youth baseball during the years of "Fernando Mania". He had difficulty making other teams after the Dodgers released him, so he played on and off on Mexico to stay in shape. I remember he had a little success with the Padres in the 90s, but not much else. ...You guys would also love the story of pitcher, Dwight Gooden.

It was always hard to root for a dodger player as a Padres fan, but you have to respect greastness when you see it. Fernando was dominant and great and was respected by Padres fans. Padres fans did get a taste of it first-hand, first by having to face him so many times as a division rival and as a Padre when he joined the Padres for two season at the end of his career. You really got to see the presence he had in the field. What was not mentioned is how good of a hitter he was. He was good enough hitter to be used as a pinch hitter at times.

And this is how Mexico became a baseball nation.

Back then in the 70s and 80s, the baseball draft for acquiring new young players every year was limited to USA citizens only. Why all the teams were scouting young players in Mexico and the Caribbean islands for players that bypassed the draft. Eventually that loophole in the drafting process was filled, but not at that time yet.

Sidd Finch is maybe the only rookie out of nowhere to eclipse Fernando’s story 👍💪😀

A great film to accompany this one is THE PENCE METHOD | FOX SPORTS FILMS. Follow once World Series Champion Hunter Pence go down to play in the Dominican winter league to reinvent his swing in hopes of being an MLB player again.

4:31 - Reagan was elected president in November of 1980, assumed office in January of 1981, and was shot at the end of March of 1981. Crazy few months for him. And yes, he didn't die. He served the maximum of two full 4-year terms. 8:25 - Yup. 1981 was a strike-shortened season as well. And yeah, labor strife has been pretty common in all American sports ever since the players started unionizing in the 70's. However, I would say that, since the NHL's 2004-2005 season was completely cancelled, there's been a little less of the season-uprooting labor stoppages but we still saw lockouts shorten the 2011-2012 NBA season, shorten training camp prior to the 2011 NFL season, and postpone the start of last year's MLB season. There was also a lot of union vs. owner bickering over when and how the 2020 season would eventually start which is why it was only a 60-game regular season. It probably would have been closer to 80 if they had gotten their stuff together sooner. 10:17 - This was a Vin Scully call that I had not heard until watching this but it immediately became one of my favorites. 14:50 - Dwight Gooden would come along a few years later and stake his claim to that great rookie pitcher season.

I was 10 yrs old, HUGE Dodgers fan and I remember this so well. Dodgers ended up beating the Yankees in 6 games after losing the 1st 2 in the 1981 world series.

I was only a kid but I can remember Fernando being huge, especially living in Southern California
