The Poojer Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just watched espns new show e:60. It was wwe related and it was very good. Not sure why they need another show so similar to 30 for 30, but it was very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Just watched espns new show e:60. It was wwe related and it was very good. Not sure why they need another show so similar to 30 for 30, but it was very well done. e:60 has been around a long time. I've actually never seen it, but I always thought it was tied in with Outside the Lines and Jeremy Schapp's podcast. Mostly human interest stories. I didn't think it was like 30 for 30?

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 30 for 30 are films made by individual filmmakers and then picked up by ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 gotcha...still, you have Outside the Lines, E:60 and 30 for 30(which by the way aren't 30), time to consolidate things i think 30 for 30 are films made by individual filmmakers and then picked up by ESPN.

Metal Man Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The Day the Series Stopped is very good too that I don't think was mentioned. That one is about the earthquake during the 1989 World Series. Also all of the episodes mentioned in this thread so far, along with many other 30 for 30 episodes, are available on Netflix for any subscribers out there.

Pete Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Big Shot was great. John Spanos almost pulled it off. Scary how easy it was. He lived the high life for two months. Mike Milbury said Spanos showed up at his place-"are you ready?" "ready for what" "I have two beautiful women coming over. They are going to do each other, then they are going to do us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Big Shot was great. John Spanos almost pulled it off. Scary how easy it was. He lived the high life for two months. Mike Milbury said Spanos showed up at his place-"are you ready?" "ready for what" "I have two beautiful women coming over. They are going to do each other, then they are going to do us" But did he really? Clearly he had everyone fooled for a while, but at some point you need to produce the cash to close any deal and that was never going to happen.

He had to come up with $160 million. He forged papers and got Fleet bank in Boston to lend $80 million. Then he negotiated 6 monthly payments of $17 million. He was acting owner for two months and negotiated the cablevision deal. And the upscale LI hotel where Spano pulled supermodels was negoiating to be a partner with Spano and pay the $17 million monthly balance. He was in discussions and nearly had that deal when the scam was up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 gotcha...still, you have Outside the Lines, E:60 and 30 for 30(which by the way aren't 30), time to consolidate things i think PooJ , the series was meant to be 30 films to commerate the 30th anniversary of ESPN. They were so popular they kept making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm pretty sure after the 30 ran, they were so well received and well done, they didn't want to quit, but they started calling them ESPN Films. It didn't have the same cache, so they went back to 30 for 30 the following year - even though it really doesn't make sense anymore. It's just a better brand. BTW, I can't even find Grantland on that stupid new espn.com page anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
