All 10 episodes of Roll The Tape, a new series uncovering the funniest, most absurd classic video clips from ESPN’s archive of more than 3 million tapes, are premiering every day this week, exclusively on ESPN+. Each episode features ESPN’s Treavor Scales, Christine Williamson and Gary Striewski hosting their own house party of sorts, turning back the clock to share, laugh and cringe at the best offbeat “sports” moments shown on ESPN from the eighties, nineties and aughts. Two episodes will debut each day this week through Friday.

The first two episodes of Roll the Tape debuted on Labor Day yesterday. Episode 1 “Over the Top” features ESPN’s coverage of bulging biceps, glam rock hair and more at the 1996 Pro Football Team Arm Wrestling Championship in Las Vegas. Episode 2 “It Takes Two (to Make a Thing Go Away)” takes a look back at ESPN’s classic game show “Teammates”, a sports version of the Newlywed Game hosted by the legendary Stuart Scott.
