G4 Rewind

About G4 Sports Rather than having a weekly show about sports video games, G4 decided to go with a special occasion format and focus more on actual sports. G4 Sports replaces Sweat and goes on-location to major sporting events such as the X-Games, the NBA All-Star Game and so on. G4 Sports is not nearly as focused on video games as the rest of the channel and seeks to round out the network and appeal to extreme sports lovers.

Status
G4 Sports is cancelled and no longer in production. No reruns are currently airing.

Hosts

History

Previously a series of short fantasy sports simulations using popular sports games to predict the outcome of actual sporting events, G4 Sports evolved into a short-lived half hour series. G4 Sports simulated the 2004-05 NHL Season and All-Star Game, several college bowl games and various college basketball games. G4 Sports also took over for Sweat's coverage of the annual Madden Challenge. Eventually the short segments which aired inbetween ads were made into full blown specials, such as X-Games, MLB Spring Training and NBA All-Star Game coverage. G4 Sports had little focus on video games and more focus on the actual sport itself.
