Title – The Opposition Director – Ezra Edelman and Jeffrey Plunkett Length – 30 minutes with commercials Installment – #3 of 8 in 30 for 30′s Soccer Stories Review – Unlike Maradona ’86, I wasn’t as familiar coming into the story that is the focus of The Opposition.

Title – Maradona ’86 Director – Sam Blair Length – 30 minutes with commercials Installment – #2 of 8 in 30 for 30′s Soccer Stories Review – “The pleasure of demolishing idols is directly proportional to the need to erect them.” Those words spoken in Maradona ’86 summarize what is an eternal truth about how we view the best athletes in […]

That’s because ESPN, after 27 years of doing regular-season NFL games, will air a wild-card playoff game next January. “We’re thrilled to televise our first Wild Card playoff game and we thank the NFL for the opportunity,” said […]

With the rise of BTN, Pac 12 Networks, and now the SEC Networks the power conferences have been able to further increase the gap between the haves and the have nots. And to increase […]
