This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It is getting tons of praise. by G.K.Chesterton
A week ago, I thought the hype for Diego Maradona was a bit over the top. The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch called it one of the best sports documentaries of the year. The Ringer’s Bill Simmons proclaimed that it was one of the best sports documentaries of all-time. Numerous other reviews were also glowing. If you know nothing of Maradona coming into this film, you likely won’t be as enamored as they were and I was. But if you’re familiar with Maradona, his career, and his life, you’ll be blown away. Bill Simmons is actually spot on with his hyperbole: Diego Maradona really is one of the best sports documentaries of all-time.
