ESPN 30 for 30 Documentaries

[mbrieve]

Has anybody been watching these? I feel like they have been very well done and the subjects have been fascinating, especially since most of them happened before my time.

My favorites have been:
1. The U
2. Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL?
3. Without Bias
4. Muhammad and Larry
5. Kings Ransom
6. The Legend of Jimmy the Greek

If you haven't been watching, I would highly recommend them. There seems to be a lot of great topics to come.

I wonder if they will put these out on DVD when they are done with all 30?

They have all been great and I will be the first one in line if they come out on DVD. Another good show to watch is Sports Jobs with Junior Seau on Versus channel.

I hope they run some sort of a marathon of these over the holidays....I haven't seen a bad one yet (although the "Band that Wouldn't Die" is my favorite).

These are excellent -easily the best thing ESPN has done in years. In my opinion ESPN eventually ruins everything it touches but did hit a homerun on this series.

Even better than that Dale Earnhart movie??????

agreed. ESPN is to sports what Mcdonalds is to food.

If we are talking NFL, showtime is the only place that does justice. But sadly 2% of the population actually sees any of it.

Speaking of Showtime (which I don't have), I have been dying for that AFL documentary to come out on DVD. Any thoughts on it from those of you that have seen it ?

Thanks
