    I mean, if 30 for 30 is doing a documentary on June 17, 1994 . . .

    (can a thread like this NOT be inspired by ESPN?)

    1994 had: The start of the first stateside World Cup (with opening ceremonies featuring Diana Ross!)

    2010 has: Nebraska and Colorado leaving the Big 12, and USC getting lain low by NCAA sanctions.

    1994 had: The NBA Finals, a long series derailed by thuggery on the court.

    2010 has: The NBA Finals, a long series derailed by thuggery on the court.

    1994 had: The Rangers ending the Stanley Cup drought.

    2010 has: The Blackhawks ending the Stanley Cup drought.

    Off the field:

    1994 had: OJ.

    2010 has: Abby Sunderland, possibly lost at sea.

    It may be be the most interesting sports day with so few sporting events actually going on.

    Abby is not a sport.

    Do you have a typo and mean June 10th?

    Yes, I know.

    I posted this right after ESPN followed a commercial about that 30 for 30 (which included Rangers parade footage) with two college football analysts trumpeting this as the most eventful day ever.

    Well, there were the opening ceremonies for the World Cup in South Africa just on. So, there is that parallel as well.

    ESPN is doing a documentary about June 17, 1994 because it was such an eventful day.

    I am putting forth the notion that this, today, June 10, 2010, is a very interesting sports day.
