No Mas TV Guide - 4/30
The Kid From BrooklynAMC, 2 p.m.
No, this is not a film-length forum for that mamaluc who spouts his racist, xenophobic crap on YouTube - this is a 1946 movie starring Danny Kaye about a goofy milkman who accidentally knocks out a world-champion fighter, and then gets dragged into the fight game himself.
The Long Run
HBO2, 7 p.m.
I've had a few people write to me to suggest this for our Best Sports Movies You've Never Seen series, but I haven't gotten around to watching it. It's about an aging white track coach who discovers a black woman prodigy in South Africa.
Entourage
HBO2, 9 p.m.
This show is so freakin metrosezchuan that it makes me uncomfortable, but hey, I watch it, which I guess means that I'm as shallow as the next ponce with a head full of product. If you missed it last night, and you want to feel macho about watching this garbage, know that Chuck Liddell plays a starring role in the latest episode and on the whole he's pretty awesome. (I'm primarily including this as a heads-up for Franchise, cause I know that ballbreaker doesn't watch Entourage.) WWE Raw
USA, 9 p.m.
The fallout from last night's Backlash PPV where the 61-year-old Vince McMahon captured the ECW Heavyweight title. Somewhere Paul Heyman, one of ECW founding fathers, is cringing.
Back in the Day Speed, 9:30 p.m.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. hosts this show about classic races - this one goes back to the 1975 Carolina 500, won by good ole boy Cale Yarborough, the only NASCAR driver currently enshrined in the No Mas Hall of Fame.
Jimmy Kimmel Live
ABC, 12:05 a.m.
A double shot of sports love on a Kimmel repeat tonight - Clyde the Glyde (talking about Dancing with the Stars) and Vince Young (talking about Madden NFL '08).
La Haine
FlixE, 2:30 a.m.
Known in English as "Hate," this is an important, and great, French film from the mid-90's about racial discord in the banlieues de Paris. The French equivalent of Boyz n the Hood, only better. Not a sports-oriented movie by any means, but one of the three main characters is a fighter and there are some scenes of him training, proving that even across the pond, the boxing still got cred in the hood.

one of the guys from la haine is the bad guy in oceans 12.
I found that surprising also. He's fucking great in La Haine, that dude.
Vincent Cassel is THAT dude for real. The dude wifed Monica Bellucci. Just for that he gets endless props.
But you should watch "Dobermann" and the first "Rivières Pourpres".
In America, you don't have much actors like him but you could use them.
