30 for 30

Paul's favorite sports writer, Bill Simmons, had a brilliant idea for ESPN's 30th Anniversary. He thought it would be cool to get 30 acclaimed film makers and give them free reign to do a documentary about any sports story they wanted. They are going to play one every week for 30 weeks. They are on every Tuesday night on ESPN or ESPN2. If you are not watching these, you should be. I think we're on week 5 now, and while I am not a fan at all of some of the sports they are talking about, the human interest stories have gotten me, not to mention the different styles of the documentarians (pretty sure I just made up that word). We watched the story of Len Bias last night, and I'll admit, I was bawling. I was even riveted by the Ali v. Holmes fight, and that's saying something because I hate boxing in general.
