 "Sports Night" (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Sports Night was West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin's first venture into television.
Some aspects of the show, which ran from September 1998 to May 2000, haven't aged well – the frequent establishing shots of the New York skyline dominated by the twin towers of the World Trade Centre send a jolt through the system every time, whilst a passing reference to the Spice Girls seems laughably dated.
But the dialogue (much of which Sorkin recycled for use in The West Wing) is as fresh and vibrant as the day it was penned, the story lines as compelling, the characters as real, human, endearing and, frequently, maddening, as ever seen on TV – and a great deal more so than most.

 "Sports Night" (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
As for the latter question, the target audience for "Sports Night" is not congruent to the viewers of, say, ESPN's "Sportscenter".
The sports banter is enjoyable for a big sports nut like me, but the average sports fan probably won't care for this show, much like the average doctor or nurse I know doesn't care for "ER".
Similar to their characters on the show, the actors (at least at the time) were largely unknown by the general public.

 Best American Sports Writing 1998
One is entitled "Over the Hill, My Ass!" I don’t generally judge essays by their titles – especially in sports writing, which is headline-driven by nature -- but the title of this shallow and bombastic piece (typical of Telander) has said very quickly all the essay in its ten pages has to say.
David James Duncan’s "Bird-Watching as a Blood Sport" is about neither the pastime of bird-watching nor anything even remotely connected to sports; it’s a terrific essay, but maybe for the 1998 Best American Essays collection instead.

Sitting around the kitchen table after a game, we learned about other aspects of the game such as fairness as he talked about making a lineup that included everyone, teamwork, respect for others regardless of their ability, and how important it was to have fun.
Specifically, studies have examined how sports contribute to the development of social competence—the ability to get along with and be accepted by peers, family members, teachers, and coaches; and, self-esteem—the extent to which an individual believes him/herself to be capable, significant, successful, and worthy (Ewing, 1997).
To ensure that children gain the benefits of sports participation, however, it is important for parents and coaches to evaluate and monitor their own attitudes and behaviors so that good sportsmanship is learned.
