Anybody going to watch this on ESPN? I’ve been looking forward to it since I saw an ad for it a couple of days ago. This is a replay of the 1958 NFL Championship game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Football Giants, with the film being colorized and processed for HDTV viewing. Should be interesting.

Tonight, 9:00pm eastern, on ESPN.
