Bonus Feature: Behind the Scenes

ESPN's 30-30 documentary series was following us around in preparation for this past years games.  Here is a sneak peak at some of the bonus features of the yet to be titled DVD:

Wild Card Wheel Prep:

Occasionally there are collateral damages when building Brolympic material.  I always wanted a hot screw burn. (zing)  I only wish this was a valid excuse for my piss poor performance in Hockey, HR Derby, Horse Shoes, Soccer Shoot Out, Bowling, Three Point Shoot Out, Football Toss, life, etc...

 The inception of the Wild Card Wheel- 1st Draft

Feel Free to print your own and play at home with your family!

The Wheel in Action

Celebrations:

Here is the breakdown of the Celebration Category.  For those of you playing at home, if someone landed on this category, the celebration would be reenacted pantomime style with no verbal cues.  The person who spun the wheel would then have to guess the celebration.  Seemed like a good idea at the time...smash cut to me pouring moonshine over on an open wound. What am I talking about, BOTH GREAT IDEAS!

Don't tell me you don't have an itch to play NBA JAMS after watching this! 

I SAID DON'T DO IT A-HOLE!!

Unfortunately, there was much more male toplessness at BROV than this.

Also unfortunate...not nearly enough Freddy Mercury. 

How awesome is this video? 

 Rhetorical question dipshit, funnel some Dude if you even attempted to answer.  

The execution of this one had too many steps, AND lead to the aforementioned bloody knee. Nostalgia is a fickle beast.

(fast forward to the 2 minute mark for the actual celebration)

(jump to the 1:50 mark to find out who the Miller Lite Player of the Game was)

Possibly a top five memory of not just my childhood...but my entire life.
(the big play takes place at the 3:15 mark)

Recaps, more behind the scenes and off seasoning planning to follow. 

BROV SWAGGER

Keep your pants on, this is NOT the earliest Brolympic Recap since BROI, I'm still mentally and physically rehabbing this Adonis of a body.  For all your friends and co-workers that tangentially hear bits and pieces about this glorious day weekend, here is some of this years swag in digital format.  Share if you're inclined, light your computer on fire if you're not. (unfortunately those appear to be your two best options)
