I have been eagerly awaiting this for the past few months. I've listened to bill simmons podcasts with a few people about it over the summer and it's finally under way. For those who don't know it's a 30th anniversary thing ESPN is doing where they're doing 30 different ~50 minute documentaries on interesting sports events. A lot of people are trying to do cool stories that aren't always the most obvious ones. Lots of drama, intrigue, and great stories. They have brought in a lot of great and established directors and it's all really well done. Not the cheesy human interest type stuff you see about sports with some terminally ill kid no one gives a **** about having the other team let him score. They're going to do about 1 film a week. They're really interesting and worth watching for both hardcore and casual sports fans. Honestly, even if you're not a sports fan you will enjoy these. http://30for30.espn.com/
