stncttr908 Veteran Posted December 12, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 12, 2004 I just got through watching "3" on ESPN, and as a lifelong Dale Earnhardt fan (as the story goes, I picked him out as my favorite driver when I was three years old) I was pretty moved by it. Barry Pepper did a great job as Dale, and the end brought tears to my eyes. He was the closest thing I've ever had to a sports hero, and I think ESPN did a great job honoring him.

coolant Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I totally agree with you. They did a really good job showing his legacy. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/256197-3/#findComment-585086738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Barry Pepper was outstanding as Earnhardt. ESPN has done great work in the past, but this takes them to a new level. Everyone knew who Earnhardt was, no matter if they were a NASCAR fan or not. There are very few people in sports deserve a 2 hour movie on their life, but he deserve it.

Xeonic Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 ESPN will probably replay it a ton of times, like they did with the Pete Rose movie. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/256197-3/#findComment-585087017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDQuiksilver Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 My friend made a funny joke about this movie if you have a sense of twisted humor, but might offend some of you..

It happened, what can I do? I still check Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday and Comedy Goldmine every week, and they still sometimes make jokes about his death. Some people are just going to act that way. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/256197-3/#findComment-585089595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Maybe it's just me, but I skipped it seeing how horrible it looked from the commercials. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
