ya i got it today too, i didnt think it was that great, i think there should have more clips of him in the MLL and on the USA team and some more stuff about his brothers.

Not to change the subject or anything, but ESPN REALLY needs to develop a "SportCentury: The Gait Brothers" How amazing would that be?

Basically, I think there should have been more about the brothers, more about Team USA, and more about how he dealt with the fame he inherited from his older brothers while still in middle/high school, hence the "marked man" facial attire. I think the Powells are more powerful as a family than as three individuals. But that's for Brine to think about...

Actually it was the sliding defenseman's helmet...if you're going to nitpick...

Its a waste of money. The movie is 30 minutes long and only 15 minutes of it is good.

I think I might buy that DVD, it sounds very interesting. By the way, the Sportscentury on the Gaits would be an awsome idea.

There is a pretty good mini-documentary on them, here:Gait Documentary (http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-41-824-4866/sports/lacrosse/clip8)

Whats a mocie?

JK, i dont think i would buy this. It sounds just like that move Casey Powell made a few years back which i thought kind of sucked. They dont really live THAT interesting of lives. Even though i love the powells...it just seems like a waste of money.
