good idea but the self promotion thing is irritating. cant they just do 30 films in general? do they have to be in the espn era? its like saying sports didnt exist before espn.

[ice grillin you]

its for their 30th anniversary

and id rather see some films on newer topics that havent been done before

you think anyone really wants to see a another film on babe ruth or muhammed ali...or i got a good one...lets do something with the munich olympics

Them going out of business would be celebration enough for me.  ESPN is the worst.

[ice grillin you]

they have some terrible stuff...that new show sportsnation could be the most terrible thing ive ever seen....but overall they do an excellent job...they are 1 trillion times better than fox or anyone else that has tried to emulate them...yes its the cool thing to do to hate on them but they do way more good than bad

and anyway its not even about them as a whole...this series looks amazing

How the hell could anyone hate on espn?
Every station has corny-ass sideshows that appeal to a select few...but aside from that my ass gets cranky as hell if I miss even 2 days of highlights..and there is no better channel on tv to watch them than sportscenter...still.

[Rome]

For the same reason we can mock & ridicule douchebags who use phrases like "hate on".

[reese125]

I had to delete what I wrote because your response is laughable and not worth the ridicule

[Rome]

Why you gotta hate on me, reesizzle?

possible. but this tying in with more of espns self promotion makes me less inclined to watch. oh goodie espn is 30 hooray you guys rule, now lets watch your shows and give you more money.

ill prob. check out some of the docs simply on the basis that they look interesting. but id like it much better if espn just stuck to showing highlights and games and left the self congratulations for press releases and award shows.

they already did a massive sportscentury thing that produced tons of pre espn era stuff....you wanna see all that again?

youre just hating to hate

this.  i don't watch espn very much anymore but they are still the best out there.  i just choose not to watch any of it because i don't want to have to sit through the garbage and fluff they put out there in order to get the nitty gritty.  i still go to espn.com all the time because i get everything i need and can pick and choose what i read/watch.  they put the highlights from every completed game with the recap so i don't miss any highlights.  

and yes, that series does look like it could be awesome.  hopefully they don't dork it up.
