thirty 4 thirty


anybody watch the first "episode" of ESPN's new documentary series "30 for 30?" thirty sports stories, covering the thirty years of ESPN's existence, told by famous Hollywood directors. last night was Peter Berg's Gretzky doc "Kings Ransom" in which I learned more about hockey than I have ever known. I'm now a huge Edmonton Oilers fan (go Oilers, beat the Stars last night) and I now know what the WHA was

Haven't watched last night's yet, but I definitely want to.

Steve Nash is doing one too, so it's not just Hollywood directors...

my bad, "hollywood directors, producers, or people that have a lot of money and start their own 'pro. comp.'"

I wasn't drinking hatorade -- Candadian flavor or any other kind.

This 30 for 30 sounds bad ass...but is the next one about a marching band?

Creth said...

oh goodness, please don't let it be about Stanford/Cal or that handicap kid in the marching band at Louisville

Creth said...

um, but I'd definitely watch a doc about the Fightin' Texas A&M Aggie Marchin' Band

Rosser said...

Baltimore Colts Marching Band?!? That'd better be some good storytelling...

terrible! I don't wanna hear about how they got left behind when the Colties snuck outta town!
