 Love this series, I particularly liked the Matt Hoffman one and Once Brothers, for all its shortcomings. Also as a football fan the Two Escobars made for great viewing. Would like to see some more footy ones in the upcoming season/s, I think Hillsborough would make a good/depressing doco. Dunno if ESPN classifies it as a 'sport' but an episode chronicling the Chris Benoit incident and maybe steroid use in pro wrestling would have me watching

I think it'd be great if they did a 30 for 30 on the Punch up in Piestany. In a nutshell, it was a world junior hockey game between Canada and the USSR which got physical and descended into a giant brawl when the refs lost control of the situation, ending only when the arena staff turned out the lights. Both teams were kicked out of the tournament, costing Canada a medal.

But within a few years, a small tournament had became one of the biggest (and most overhyped) events on Canadian TV. Without the controversy over this brawl, the IIHF world juniors aren't any bigger than any other junior hockey tournament.

This sounds pretty great, I would watch it.

Looking forward to the Ben Johnson doco in particular
