ESPN is set to debut their next installment in the Peabody and Emmy award-winning “30 for 30” series, “Bullies of Baltimore,” on February 5 at 8:30PM ET. The Ken Rodgers and Jason Weber-directed documentary take a look back at the Baltimore Ravens team’s magical season framed by a reunion of its key figures. The film will be made available on ESPN+ immediately after its premiere, along with the rest of the “30 for 30” library.
The 2000 Baltimore Ravens were arguably the most dominating defensive team in NFL history – and perhaps the most entertaining club that pro football has ever seen. Now, a little over two decades after their legendary season that is forever etched into their legacy, the documentary tells the story of a Super Bowl champion for the ages.
“We’ll never see another team like the 2000 Ravens,” said co-director and NFL Films VP, Ken Rodgers.
“If they played in today’s NFL, given the social media landscape, their braggadocios personalities and physical style of play would constantly spawn memes, talk-show controversies, and Twitter wars. No team dominated the sports world, on and off the field, quite like this one.”
The film features commentaries from Shannon Sharpe, the late Tony Siracusa, Biran Bullock, Trent Dilfer, Ray Lewis, Rod Woodson, Jamal Lewis, Marvin Lewis, Kevin Byrne, and Jack Del Rio. The documentary is executive produced by ESPN Films in association with NFL Films.
