Brett Favre: Out of Bounds

Premieres following Western Conference Finals Game One (date to be determined - May 20 or May 22)

Brett Favre, a maverick quarterback who knew no limits on the field, has become embroiled in a welfare funds scandal that threatens to tarnish his legacy and reputation. This film explores how Favre's fame, money and privilege may have taken him out of bounds.

Saints, Sinners and an NFL Scandal

Premieres following Western Conference Finals Game Two (date to be determined - May 22 or May 24)

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Saints helped bring the city back by shocking the world and winning the Super Bowl. But the team soon faced an even bigger storm. They were accused of paying their players to injure opponents, but who was really to blame? The coaches? The players? Or was the NFL just protecting its own interests?

Murder, Fixed Fights and the Wannabe Don King

Premieres May 26 following Western Conference Finals Game Three

In the late '80s, boxing meant big-time money, glitz and glamour. Rick "Elvis" Parker was a hustler looking to get in on the action. This is the tragic story of how Parker pushed journeyman boxer Tim Anderson to take a dive against former NFL star, Mark Gastineau. When Anderson refused, everyone paid the price.

Dirty Moneyball: Cuba's Ransomed Stars

Premieres May 28 following Western Conference Finals Game Four

Cuban baseball star, Yasiel Puig, took Major League Baseball by storm. He became the face of the Los Angeles Dodgers and was as big as the movie stars in Hollywood. This is the untold story of his shocking journey to the MLB. Cuban smugglers, Mexican drug cartels, hostages, shootouts, big money deals and scandalous betrayals. Puig pursued the American dream - but at what cost?
