Set Your TiVo

Good stuff coming Saturday night:

If there is a sporting event that has been chronicled more extensively than the NFL's fabled overtime championship game of 1958, it escapes me...

On Saturday, ESPN will premiere a two-hour anniversary special that dissects the game, using 80 percent game action, original audio, original footage, some of it never before seen by the public, now fully colorized and in HD.

What makes this truly special is inclusion of tape never before seen. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a reel of film had been lost for half a century but was found amid a pile of film canisters in the late Weeb Ewbanks' house.

What makes this even more interesting is that Andy Reid was the consulting coach for Mark Bowden's recent book on that game and I'm sure there's a tie-in.  The whole thing is quite cool from an X-and-O's perspective. 

Going to have to re-read that article again.
