THIS I GOTTA SEE All times Eastern
SAT 3
Are you like me? In 1982, were you a budding teen who dreamt of football stardom after watching the Chargers-Dolphins and 49ers-Cowboys megaclassics in the playoffs, only to have your dreams come crashing down all around you on account of your morbidly unathletic body?. Relive the good times with more than five hours of the NFL's Greatest Games on ESPN Classic, starting at 2:30 p.m.
SUN 4
Legends of Hockey: "Lord Stanley's Legacy" (10 p.m., OLN). Learn all about the birth of the NHL and the origins of the Stanley Cup in this historical tribute covering the years 1893 to 1924 (a.k.a. Mario Lemieux's early prime).
MON 5
It's a tough call between Red Sox at Yankees (7 p.m., ESPN) and the Stanley Cup finals (7 p.m., OLN). Probably your best bet is to go with the flying body checks and bloody-knuckles fisticuffs and then switch over to hockey during the commercials.
