  I remember when ESPN released this 17 years ago, even as a kid I was in awe of the production and the awesome series. Truly great work! Love the fact that series is still ingrained in my head.

  The actor playing Thurman Munson was perfectly cast.  Dude looks just like him.

  What a standout performance by John Turturro! Turturro is the straw that stirs the drink in this series because he is totally believable as Billy.

  This is absolutely one of the best pieces ESPN ever produced. Better than Season on the Brink, Tilt or even Playmakers...

  Growing up in NYC during the 70s, 1977 was a particularly standout year (For good and bad). This series captured the zeitgeist of that year perfectly

  1977, what a year! I remember all this insanity fondly. Martin, what a tortured soul. &nbsp;Fine performances by Platt and Turturro.

  This was peak ESPN. &nbsp;Their drama series were great. &nbsp;After this awesome mini series it was all downhill. &nbsp;If they’d just stuck to this, sports and sports programs they’d still be at the top.

  A genuine shame this show came out just before the miniseries boom.
