I don't follow racing but the Tim Richmond one seems pretty hated by racing fans as a total whitewash by ESPN and the France family. Someone once said "Winning Time" could just as easily have been 90 minutes of footage of Spike Lee crying. Goddamn is that true. I forgot how obscenely clutch he was against the Knicks. I wanted the one about Jimmy the Greek to be a lot better than it was. The whole thing was just fuckin' weird. Fab 5 was loving fantastic. Alliteration

I'd love to see one on cheating/rule bending in NASCAR. Basically make it a 90 minute documentary on Smokey Yunick.

http://youtu.be/P4DLvI6LehE If you can't wait for the 30 for 30 about the Soviet side of the miracle game, this doc about the Red Army is releasing now, hosted by Slava Fetisov and produced by Werner Herzog. It looks fantastic.

Somewhat related: I finally got around to watching "Red Army", which if you've seen the "Of Miracles and Men" 30 for 30, this goes into far greater detail about the Soviet hockey program as a whole. Both feature Slava Fetisov very heavily. He basically treats Gabe Polsky like crap (which is kind of hilarious, honestly. Polsky seems really out of his depth with Fetisov) but he has some fantastic stories, and goes into great depth about the famed "Russian Five". Also has neat interviews with Vladisav Tretiak and a former KGB agent who traveled with the team to prevent defections. It's on Google Play and I'd imagine iTunes as well. E: Oh and Werner Herzog was an executive producer, which owns.

Awful Announcing brings up a couple interesting points, that for all the goofiness that the XFL was, they also really pushed forward on a lot of things you see in today's NFL and college broadcasts. Widespread use of the sky cam, cameras in huddles, players introducing themselves, live cameras in locker rooms, etc.

Your Taint posted:Didn't the XFL invent the camera on a cable above the field? If nothing else, that's a pretty big part of every NFL broadcast. They didn't invent it but they were the first to really heavily use it. They were also largely responsible for pioneering the deeper access/coverage into huddles, locker rooms, etc. The XFL was a mess but in terms of broadcasting they really got the ball rolling on a lot of what's standard today in college and the NFL.

The XFL was basically one huge middle finger to the NFL. For that alone it is to be commended.
