Yes it looks like a problem of codecs if you use firefox, (in google chrome it is not a problem becouse it come with its own privative codecs) but in anyway you can install the codecs if you didnt install them before and you are using firefox in netflix, -US/quick-docs/assembly_installing-plugins-for-playing-movies-and-music/
If it does work only with to enable DRM so perfect. Remeber that if you have problems with others videos with firefox it can be a problem of codecs, in case you can install them like commented before. Cool you have your netflix working!.
I was really hoping that the documentary would dig into all the off the field and behind the scenes stuff that was going on in the program over that time period. Instead, they mostly glossed over it and even went as far as to paint the picture that the team had huge discipline issues before Urban arrived, and Urban cleaned it up.
Not necessarily surprising since the person most interviewed in the doc was Urban himself. Followed second by Tim Tebow. The documentary was about the on the field and in the weight room side of the team. Not the off the field illegal activities (41 arrests on the team, Aaron Hernandez murdering people), partying, bar fights, all the players having law enforcement and lawyers they could call to get out of trouble, etc. that Urban allowed to go on while head coach at Florida.
It was about how Urban instilled discipline into the team. How he changed the culture by not letting the team go out and party on Friday and Saturday nights because he would schedule grueling team workouts at midnight. How losing wasn't acceptable but things had to be done the right way. How the team was a disciplined family, committed to excellence on and off the field.
There was nothing "Untold" in this Untold series. I couldn't believe when I watched the first episode and it was basically just Urban Meyer doing a play by play recap of games against Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, etc.
Meyer - Tebow love fest. Anything about the double standard in discipline, etc. for starters vs players lower on the depth chart? Or, the reduction in Public Safety / Police forces after Meyer left? I heard they only needed 1/3 the staff because the players Meyer recruited left.
Sounds like the documentary is an image reclamation PR stunt. Meyer probably won't get the ND job next time it opens, but, to your point, Texas A&M, Texas, Alabama?, LSU? or another large morally ambiguous school would be glad to have him when the position opens up.
To your last point, the pay is great, but the hours that go into and all the years and years of taking assistant jobs, moving around constantly, etc. to work your way up the ladder just sound awful to me. Give me my regular 9-5 with decent salary and I'm happy.
Thanks for the heads up. I would be disappointed going into something like this only for the filmmakers to treat the subject with kid gloves. The same thing happened when I read Malcolm Gladwell's "Talking to Strangers" which was pretty much a treatise on giving people the benefit of the doubt taken to a naive degree. The worst example he gave was that Joe Paterno did nothing wrong.
I think his priorities are being a bestselling writer and someone who's perceived as a public intellectual. Actual content (written, spoken) is important only to the extent that it furthers his goals.
I watched it yesterday and was (not) surprised they literally only mention Aaron Hernandez one time in the entire 4 hour block. They definitely glossed over all the negative that happened during that time for sure.
The SEC hasn't survived this long by having loose lips when it comes to their misdoings. You can't convince me otherwise that the SEC doesn't have fixers and allies running all the way up to the highest levels of the NCAA. They are the cash cow after all
The funny thing about the Manziel piece was that even though it was supposed to be a puff piece, he still came off like a complete dbag. Sure it showed his lows, and I have to give him credit for speaking about them. But at the end of the day, it didn't feel like he learned all that much or has changed very much. That said it wasn't all that long ago still, this doc was probably made a few years too early.
The Meyer vs Fowler thing...I was actually kind of on Meyer's side there (kinda). I mean, the reporter WAS taking a 19 year old's quote out of context to stir up drama. But Meyer came off looking incredibly petty and bullying. Of all the things they didn't mention, that's one that is a bit weird to leave out, even in a puff piece.
"Malice in the Palace" had some some interesting stuff in there, but clearly was aiming to make the Pacer players look like victims. Jermaine O'Neal kept trying to rationalize everything he did and claimed there was a secret camera angle that showed he didn't do anything wrong (even though every angle we saw clearly showed him throwing two haymakers).
I don't really think any particular player can be singled out with regard to the Malice at the Palace. It was an all-around fail. Slow motion disaster. It was a 20 point blow out in a heated rivalry with a minute left. Why were Wallace and Artest both still on the floor?
good to know, I'll skip it. I also hoped the Manti Teo doc would eviscerate him and ND, nope. It was like an ND produced piece that took the onus off him while also propping up ND. Turned it off after 10-15 minutes.
If this era of Florida football is of interest to you, I highly recommend the book All-American Murder by James Patterson about Aaron Hernandez. It is less about just Aaron Hernandez and more like an "In Cold Blood meets Friday Night Lights" dive into the culture of Florida football and how Hernandez both shaped and was shaped by his time there. The typical view of him is that he was just an ultra-macho gangster type personality for his entirely life but he wasn't at all. He was almost devoid of any actual self esteem when he arrived in Gainesville (young child-like) and was shaped almost entirely by his experience there. Urbz is kind of a hero and a villain in the equation, first for what he wanted to do for Hernandez and second for how spectacularly he failed at it. It is quite a book.
College football is life in Florida, nowhere more apparent than in the extraordinary story of the Florida Gators from 2005 to 2010. After a blazing run in the 1990s under Coach Steve Spurrier, the University of Florida's winning streak had dried up by 2005. Enter Urban Meyer, the Gators' demanding new head coach whose take-no-prisoners style breeds not only a string of legendary victories, but also unrelenting drama that rippled well beyond the locker room. In their own words through extensive sit-down interviews paired with archival footage, Meyer and the titans he coached (Brandon Siler, Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes, Major Wright, and Ahmad Black, among many others) give viewers a bird's-eye view of how they catapulted the Florida Gators from underdogs to winners of two BCS National Championships. Drilling down with a riveting play-by-play of some of the Gators' most blistering wins and losses.
So Meyer had to clean up the mess left behind Zook and Strong? LMAO!! Neither of those coaches has ever been given a lot of credit as head coaches, but they will never - ever - be accused of running discipline-less asylums, either. And for all the bluster of Steve Superior's program, they weren't considered dirty, either. Yeah, they played loose and had fun and ran up scores, but they weren't lacking discipline and focus.
That is a bummer. I was looking forward to this. So far, there hadn't been a bad "Untold." I really have liked this season's installments on Jake Paul, Manziel, and BALCO (that was the best so far this season I would say)
We have a zero tolerance policy on hitting women. Didn't want to kick the kid off the team. But I had to. Then the kid overdosed. After that we took dismissing players from the team off the board as an option forever.
Watched one episode last night and thought it was very Meyer friendly. Not against interviewing him or getting his side of things but damn you know we're watching mostly because of the different personalities and lore around the team, not about Urbs brand of discipline. Guess that was the only way they could get him to agree to be in it

This top streaming enterprise continues to post stellar financial results, leading to its shares approaching their record high. However, investors looking to scoop up the stock should press pause for a second: Does this one key reporting change mean trouble for investors?
After a brief post-pandemic lull, Netflix is firing on all cylinders, thanks to the company's progress at cracking down on password sharing and the successful launch of an ad-supported tier. The membership base was up 16% in Q1 (ended March 31) year over year to nearly 270 million, with revenue rising 14.8% to $9.4 billion.
Profits are also through the roof. Netflix reported operating income of $2.6 billion in the quarter, good for a fantastic margin of 28.1%. This business now generates billions in free cash flow on a yearly basis.
However, executives sent shock waves through the investment community when they said that Netflix would no longer report subscriber numbers starting in 2025. To be fair, though, they did mention that they'd "announce major subscriber milestones" as they hit them.
