I'm looking forward to this one. Comes on tonight after the Yanks/Phils game. So much going on that day and it all came to a hault with the O.J. chase. This one should be good IMO.

I really like the way they've set it up without interviews or narrative, it adds to the whole effect of the movie.

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: June 17, 1994

Yeah it's different. At first I was thinking it wouldn't be as good that way but the way everything has been laid out is pretty cool.

It's cool to see the behind the scenes footage there with Bob Costas talking to the producers of the NBA Finals and trying to figure out what to do coverage wise. The Finals or the OJ situation?

But I already said my name was Bob Costas!

One of, if not the best, 30 for 30 so far. This one has shivers going up and down my back constantly.

Where was everyone during the bronco chase?

I was a little kid in the family room with my mom and grandfather playing the board game trouble when my grandmother came downstairs and told us about OJ being chased in the bronco.

I definitely had no idea who OJ was, but I remember everyone being captivated by what was going on.

This really brings me back. I remember this day very well. I graduated from HS (yes I'm that old) and was at Myrtle Beach, SC during that time. I was partying with my friends, and the Bronco sequence was shown. We were so enamored by it and moved, that we completely stopped what we were doing and were glued to the television that whole time.

It was a great retrospective. Very well done, and I appreciate the behind the scenes footage.

Wow...that was crazy. I was only 9 when it happened and remember watching it on TV but really didn't know exactly what the big deal was. There were some intense moments in this film. That one point you thought O.J. might end it. Absolutely crazy day in sports. That one took me back. 1994, man, so long ago.

The 1994 Stanley Cup finals was my first sports memory in life. I was far to young to appreciate what was going on with OJ, but it's amazing how much stuff was going on that summer in the world of sports. This was a very well done 30 for 30.

16 years old at my dad's house in Detroit. I was trying to watch the NBA Finals, but they kept going back to OJ. Really annoying evening because I had absolutely zero interest in what that guy did or didn't do and watching him ride at 40 mph on the free way when I could have been watching Ewing and The Dream go at it was really irritating.

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: June 17, 1994

Very well done, really enjoyed it. I was 10 at the time, and I remember watching the NBA Finals with NBC news cutting in for updates

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: June 17, 1994

Well done show. I can't remember ever hearing those conversations OJ had with the police. I wonder how really close he was to killing himself.

I was at a summer program on state government for boys who just completed their junior year of high school. We were staying in dorm rooms at Bowling Green and weren't allowed to have TV's. One of the guys on my floor had smuggled in a small black-n-white and there were about 10 of us huddled around it.
