ESPN "Sports Center 30K"

I'm vaguely surprised nobody else has mentioned that ESPN marked its 30,000th "SportsCenter" with a 90-minute special Sunday night. The 73 minutes I saw were packed full of old highlights and bloopers...but when programming the DVR, I forgot to take live-sports delays into account (the show started 17 minutes late, out of a late-running NBA game)...and so I missed the end! :mad:

Anyone else get it on tape or DVD and interested in a trade? Contact me off-list...
 
Too funny... I happened to be flipping by ESPN on Sunday and saw a promo for "Sportscenter's 30,000th show coming up next". (Which, maybe it's me, but doesn't it seem like just yesterday that they were doing their 25,000th show? But I guess when you air like 9 or 10 replays every morning, that number has nowhere to go but up...) Anyway, I believe I programmed my DVR to record two hours (to paraphrase the mighty Ron Popeil, I just set it and forgot about it), and if the delay was only 17 minutes as you stated, then I should have it in its entirety. I'll have to check back later to verify, but I believe I have the full 90. I'll let you know later today.
 
It was scheduled 10:30 PM-midnight ET, and actually ran 10:47-12:17, so if you set up for 2 hours, you got the whole thing. Do let me know if that's the case! :)
 
Do they count replays as an additional episode? I don't think they do. Cause all the SportsCenter's the next morning were 30K an identical LOL I didn't know it until 11 AM the next morning when I was flipping around and found a repeat. I thought there would be more promotion of a special like that. I watch ESPN all the time and didn't see any promos about it.
