What I'm Watching

A new segment to the blog, here is what I'm watching on TV; I try to watch as much TV as possible when I have downtime, so here are my suggestions:

-ESPN 30 for 30: Fab Five
This new documentary in the series profiles the Fab Five of Michigan University in the early 90's. The team made a championship run in the NCAA Basketball tournament, in a time when freshman didn't get heavy minutes. The most well known members are Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, and Chris Weber, who all had very successful NBA careers (Howard is still a member of the Heat). More importantly than their success was the changes they made to the game. The first guys in college to wear black socks with black shoes, the first to really start "posterizing" other players as is popular now, and they set the table for freshman to get heavier minutes for years to come. "30 for 30"is a great series and I haven't watched one I haven't liked yet. It premiers Sunday night on ESPN.

-Bracketology
It's that time of year again, and the brackets are ready to be unveiled. With Championship Week taking place now, every avid basketball fan will be glued to CBS on Sunday to watch the matchups get uncovered. Great analysis from CBS as well as ESPN, can't wait.

-Guilty pleasures:
If you like food at all, a couple of great shows are going on over at the food network. "Chopped" is holding an all-star tournament for charity, with hosts and contestants of the Food Network shows participating. It is on Sundays at 9 PM. Always a big fan of Modern Family (can't get enough of Phil Dunphy) and Criminal Minds is having a great season, with a big episode headed for next Wednesday.
