To borrow a rhetorical device from ESPN’s great sports documentary series 30 for 30: What if I told you there exists the most dramatic college football team of all time?
Said football team was filled with enough off-the-wall stories and colorful characters to make any would-be documentarian salivate. These characters and their stories include: a megalomaniacal head coach who got fired from his first NFL job mid-season for feeling up an undergrad at a steakhouse named after him, a star defensive end who was arrested for a DUI just days before the NCAA Southeastern Conference Championship game, and a tight end who committed literal murder.
That team is real. It was the 2005-2010 University of Florida Gators. Now, what if I told you there is a just-released docuseries about said team … that completely omits all of the dramatic information cited above and more? That docuseries is also real.

Updated Exclusive: While NFL players debate the severity of punishment that might come the way of Philadelphia Eagles Wr DeSean Jackson for tweeting anti-Semitic comments and evoking Adolf Hitler in a widely derided social media rant, team owner Jeffrey Lurie coincidentally launched his new production company Play/Action Pictures with what might be an ideal teaching tool for the player.
Lurie has teamed with Cinetic Media for their inaugural project The Meaning Of Hitler. Directed by Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker, the film uses the title of the bestselling book from 1978 to put a provocative spotlight on our culture’s fascination with Hitler and Nazism as it sets itself against the backdrop of the current rise of white supremacy, the normalization of antisemitism and the weaponization of history itself.
Filmed in nine countries over three years, the film traces Hitler’s movements, his rise...

I love the Need For Speed video game franchise! I’ve played all of the games since the first one was released and there’s a new one coming! It’s called Need For Speed Heat, EA has dropped a trailer for it, and the game looks like it’ll be a blast to play!
Hustle by day and risk it all at night in Need for Speed Heat, a thrilling race experience that pits you against a city’s rogue police force as you battle your way into street racing’s elite.
Need For Speed Heat will be set in Florida and as you’ll see, the story has the vibe of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, especially with all the neon lighting. In the game, players will be racing through Palm City and competing in a street race series called the Speedhunters Showdown in an attempt to earn money and build a reputation.
