What are the best sports tv shows you've seen?

Eastbound and Down was okay. Ballers had its moments too. The Ken Burns documentary series about baseball was excellent.

Seconding the love for Ken Burn's Baseball. One of my all-time favorite documentary series (regardless if it's sports or not).

I saw a documentary on Toller and Dean which was absolutely great. I had watched all their performances when they happened. They were so talented. So, this compilation was a joy to watch. Later, I found the dvd (yes, it was a while ago!) and gave it to my husband for Christmas. We watched it several times.

How about "The Lost Son of Havana"? Not sure if this is what you are looking for?

It is a documentary about Luis Tiant going to Cuba after leaving it for something like 40 years. My neighbor went on this trip - he worked for Farrelly brothers that produced it. All the guys that went for filming had to "pretend" to be baseball players as they had to play in some goodwill baseball games there in Cuba as part of the agreement to allow and to visit.

He gave us a copy of the video - it has baseball in it of course, but there is a lot of Cuba and him going back and seeing family.

Watched a clutch of '30 for 30' ESPN documentaries during the first lockdown in April of last year. Two that stood out for me were Without Bias and The U. Learned a lot about US sport and society from those docs.

I guess you meant Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean (found via a Google search). No idea who they are.

Yes, sorry, I knew that was not quite right when I posted it. Toller was a Canadian championship skater (now 6' under) - I did mean Torvill, thank you. They were innovative, exciting, precise and clean... they consistently rated 10s across the board after a few years - they skated/danced to Bolero, and did a fabulous Barnum and Bailey one - they changed the world saw, interpreted and judged figure skating in dance. Actually watch them.

And Dean coached this team and later married (and divorced) her, they're French and Canadian.

And here are two more Canadians:

They were sublime, so graceful, athletic, and inspired. I've watched their performance at the Olympics many times.

I'm now going to goggle that performance and watch it 2 or 3 times.

My favourite was a show of football’s great bloopers.

The best bit was seeing Robbie Savage accidentally punched in the face by the referee.

Even Savage’s own team mates patted the ref on the back after that.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person

Baseball by Ken Burns & the ESPN 30 for 30s are the best for my money.
