Regulars here know I love sports, particularly NFL football and NBA basketball. I also travel a lot and I take with my gen 5.5 30gb iPod wherever I go. The NFL recently fulfilled my version of virtual nirvana so I thought I would share in case there's anyone out there like me. It's a documentary series called America's Game and it rocks.
NFL Films commissioned a panel of experts to rank the 20 greatest Super Bowl teams of all time out of the 41 to date that have won the big game. The list is quite controversial (Joe Willie and the pre-Steve 1969 Jets did not make the list). However, the twenty 45-minute documentaries are all outstanding and a steal at $30 for the bunch (iTunes link).
If you want to preview the documentaries, check out the terrific accompanying web site, which features clips. My favorite episode so far? The one on the 1985 Bears (#2 all time, according to the panel.) It features a cigar-smokin' Mike Dikta who explains why he hasn't received a Christmas card from Buddy Ryan since the mid-1980s. If you like football, pick it up.
