episode 3: ESPN vs Fox Sports | Best in Show


The 1990s are about to end and ESPN is on a quest to strike down the competition before they can muster the strength to challenge it.

And as Fox steps up its attacks, ESPN soon discovers that it has to take drastic action to stop an exodus of viewers.
