Description: The tales of early ESPN people who gambled their careers while critics carped that all - sports television will never work are full of guile luck fear fun and unbridled optimism. As ESPN's founding executive producer Peter Fox was privy to some spectacular professional efforts by a cadre of Connecticut locals who made the dream real. The first 300 days of the fledgling network were filled with mayhem on - air gaffes and the slowest instant replay in television. What started as a humble idea in the late spring of 1978 to capitalize on the brand - new mania for U Conn men's basketball soon morphed into ESPN and a plan to begin airing a series of test broadcasts in the fall. This is the story of the early days at ESPN told by one of its founders and how a conversation over a couple of martinis in 1978 led to the creation of a broadcast juggernaut.
