Anybody watch the "30 in 30" series on ESPN? Any particular highlights? They all just came up on a site I visit. I grabbed the Gretzky and Jordan ones.

I grabbed the full series as well a couple years ago. Enjoy. They are all great and informative documentaries.

The ones I really enjoyed were the one on SMU football leading up to the death penalty and the one on the relationship between Dra?en Petrović and Vlade Divac.

I saw the Todd Marinovich one - it was on netflix, well worth watching.
 
Honestly, except for a couple that were outright duds(The U, the one about the Raiders, the one about Marion Jones) I think they've all been at the very least watchable.

I've seen 9.79, the one on the 1988 Olympic 100m dash with Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis. I enjoyed that one.

This is one of the few in the series I've caught, but I remember how increasingly irate I became with Lewis's smugness.

Jay & Dan are leaving TSN at the end of June to take a job with Fox Sports.  I'll definitely miss them doing Sportscentre.

I praise them for "making it big".  And then immediately resent them for leaving.

If you're a fan of sophomoric humour (and I'd say 94.6% of males at least are) you owe it to yourself to listen to their podcasts.

Absolutely hilarious. A highlight of the week for me.

I will miss them both.

I for one am happy to see them leaving. I've never been a big fan of their try to make a wisecrack with every item act. I just want my the news, hi-lights, and analysis. Leave the comedy act to open mic night at Yuk Yuk's. Maybe they can take Cabbie with them?

Anyone who knows me, knows I've had that opinion of them from day 1. Happy to see them get a much bigger opportunity and exposure. I'm just not a fan of their style.
 
They've always bugged me as well. I feel as if they're the type of guys who I'd want to throttle if I met in person. Funny for a second and extremely obnoxious for the remainder of the evening.

Loved the finale of the office.

Sure it slipped, but you kinda grow attached to the characters.

Yes in the last few seasons it went sideways but the last few eps were pretty good and the finale especially was done very well. The idea to fast-forward the time line I though was especially inspired.

I teared up on more than one occasion.

This line from Andy was perfect, and hits hard:

"I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you've actually left them."
