Guy I met & 'assisted' (as an available friend, not hired) for a couple of years in Florida was involved with murderball & that movie through a foundation he and his also disabled wife had set up decades back.

Tigers. Unstoppable. He'd been a C-3 quadriplegic from a diving accident four decades earlier (at 21 years old). But through sheer grit had gotten enough use back in his arms to drive a specialty van, was rarely at home, went everywhere, ran a business, and was of the opinion that a motorized chair would be the death of him. Even did limited Qigong with us weekly.

She was every bit as tough. Tigers, I tell ya.

That would be rad. Honestly, murderball has all the elements for a fantastic narrative film or documentary. Seeing people reclaim their lives through team sports after life changing trauma seems like a great story to tell regardless of the format.

He can be a tool. He can be very tone deaf as recent examples show ( Damar Hamlin situation ) but he is entertaining and it does help Unc is half of the show. I don’t really value his opinion but sometimes we align on stuff. I can’t stand Stephen A either although the way he shits on the Cowboys is pretty entertaining for a Giants fan.

I’m with you. I don’t agree with everything he says but I love skip. I think he gets way too much unnecessary hate. I’m gonna get thumbsed down to death, but. I don’t watch sports talk shows anymore but I used to all the time. The person who bugged me the most was max kellerman. It wasn’t even about his opinions, he just didn’t have a great tv persona. He wasn’t fun or funny
