ESPN has released the late summer/fall schedule for "30 for 30". On paper, it's probably the best Sports Doc list you'll see.

Ron Shelton on Michael Jordan in the minors.

The unsolved murder of Tupac, the night of a Tyson championship bout in Vegas.

Evert vs. Navratilova.

Barbara Kopple on Steinbrenner!

Steve Nash on Terry Fox, who was in the spotlight again at the Vancouver Olympics (get the Kleenex out for that one).

One on the all-but-forgotten Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac.

The race car driver Tim Richmond, which should be an emotional roller coaster.

Alex Gibney on Bartman!

John Singleton on Marion Jones!

The rise of SMU football and the Pony Express.

And the final one on Marcus Dupree, the next Herschel Walker.

I don't think there's one you could skip in the whole bunch.

Meal of Links

First, it was the letter. Now, it's the death of the phone call.

Some ex-Brown is singing opera this week at Tanglewood. Never heard of him.

An homage to Paul Rudd. I like him, but this person really likes him.

Joe Queenan asks if this is the worst movie year ever. I say no, but it is unfair to include a picture from "Grown-Ups" right off the bat.

Kim Jong-Il is the new Steinbrenner. The World Cup coach is now working on a building crew.

Remember that remake of "The Rockford Files"? Dermot Mulroney is out.

Exercise Yard

Joe Pos visits his old home. And he doesn't like what he's hearing. The bad memory, "Fat Guy Eating Beer Cans", gets a mention!
