On the “30 for 30″ Cutting Room Floor

Just five weeks in, the new 30 for 30 documentary series has proven to be one of the more promising developments to come out of the programming department at ESPN in quite some time. It seems that there is something about a well put together, intriguing documentary that trumps watching Woody Paige act like a moron on an episode of Around the Horn every time. Who could have guessed?

But for every one of the 30 documentaries that ESPN selected for this project, we have to believe that there were several that didn’t make the cut. And thanks to our inside sources roaming the halls in Bristol, JoeSportsFan.com can give you a peak at some of the titles of the unlucky documentaries that were on the outside looking in when the final selections were made.
