Has Chris Berman's ego gotten so big that the people close to him can't tell him that his hair looks like shit?

30 for 30

The ESPN documentary series 30 for 30 consistently elevates sports stories by showing how they relate into society at large.

I could go on and on, but this series has been incredible to watch. Elway to Marino is about the NFL draft, the NFL fucking draft, and it's riveting!

This is a series that if you're a non-sports fan, and you want to understand why those of us who love sports do, you need to watch these documentaries.

World Cup Broadcast

Full awesome credit to ESPN for doing the best English language American broadcast of a World Cup I've ever seen. They didn't dumb it down; they covered all the countries well, and we've been rewarded with one of the most exciting tournaments I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

The only drawback I have is the lack of coverage of the protests surrounding this tournament. I can see why ESPN doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds, but it didn't stop them from rightly critiquing 2022 host Qatar and their human rights issues.

Of course, now as I'm typing this, I'm watching Jeremy Schaap is talking about the massive security around the final. :)

I loved John Oliver's rant about how we soccer fans have a conflict over loving a sport that's run by one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet.

As we move on from this World Cup, I want to see how much pressure gets put on FIFA to change. The threats by major advertisers over the Qatari bribery scandal is a good start, but it's not close to the overhaul that's needed.
