Netflix to drop Connor Stalions Michigan sign-stealing documentary
Last season’s biggest college football story had to be the Michigan sign-stealing allegations supposedly organized and orchestrated by staffer Connor Stalions. The Wolverines would go on to win the national championship, but there are still many — ahem, Ohio State fans mostly — that believe Michigan should be punished severely, and that the national title was a result of some transgressions that should come with an asterisk next to it.
Well, then, notable is that according to an announcement on social media, everyone’s favorite streaming service, Netflix, will be dropping a documentary featuring Connor Stalions himself as a part of its “Untold” series. You can bet that every Michigan, Ohio State, and yes, Michigan State fan will be hitting play as soon as it comes out on August 27.Â
We don’t of course what will be revealed that we don’t already know, or what type of slant it will take, but with Stalions as the centerpiece of the production, you can probably bank on nothing earth-shattering coming to light. In fact, the promo is billed as “Connor Stalions shares his side of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scheme that turned him into a viral villain.”
Still, it’s must-watch television for some fans and we have to give kudos to Netflix for finding a way to get something produced and available on such short notice.
UNTOLD is back with three new sports stories that go well beyond the headlines.
The Murder of Air McNair (Aug 20): Capturing the Titans’ 2000 Super Bowl run and unanswered questions surrounding McNair’s 2009 murder.
