It's a day late and nobody was much for April Fool's jokes yesterday, but saw this on my Twitter feed ... 35 (wow) years ago yesterday! One of the best April Fool's jokes ever.

I remember it well.

30 for 30 shorts ( mini versions of the popular show made famous by an episode called "The Throwback") did one on Finch that aired on normal ESPN this week.

Not as much as I had hoped given the lack of new sports events, but ESPN and ESPN2 are showing some more 30 for 30's. They're not going crazy to fill their lack of programming because they promote the hell out of the ability to pay for ESPN+ to get the whole library.
