E 60 airs on ESPN Tuesday 7pm est. time. ESPN doesn’t just air games and scores they have this wonderful show E60. It’s a newsmagazine show with great sports writers Jeremy Schaap, Michael Smith, Tom Farrey, Rachel Nichols, and Lisa Salters. They feature stories about up and coming sports, coaches, athletes and how all this affects their families. I like that they don’t only tell the stories of sports superstars they also tell the story of everyday sport superstars. It’s excellently written, filmed and edited. You feel the joys and pains in the stories. It always makes me cry. The most recent episode was about a young boxer Paco Rodriquez who died after a Championship fight and his organs were donated. They interviewed the recipients and told a brief story of their medical battles. The widow wanted to know who received his organs and they kept in touch via letters. A year to the day that Paco passed away at the request of the widow they met for the first time. It was heartbreaking. The tears were flowing watching his mom break down when she met the young lady who received Paco’s heart. These are the types of stories that made me a fan. To watch sports reporting at its finest watch E 60.
