Starting tonight, ESPN Films starts a new series of documentaries in the style of their award-winning ‘30 For 30’ series.  After tonight’s “Catching Hell” (a film about Steve Bartman and scapegoats in general), the network will air a new film every Tuesday through November 8.  Here’s the full schedule:

September 27 - “Catching Hell”

October 18 - “Unguarded”
October 25 - “The Real Rocky”
November 1 - “Charismatic”
November 8 - “Roll Tide/War Eagle”

Bill Simmons of ESPN has started a new website called Grantland, which debuted today.  The site is devoted to sports and pop culture and it will feature a number of different contributors including Chuck Klosterman and Malcolm Gladwell.  I didn’t think much of the preview pieces that were posted a few weeks ago, but several of the articles posted today were quite good.
