If you don’t have a Netflix subscription or 87 spare minutes to watch Sign Stealer, the Connor Stalions documentary, let me summarize it for you:
Obsessive fanboy dedicates his life to Michigan football, ingratiates his way into the program and works to help the Wolverines win by any means necessary. Because he’s smart and a hard worker, he creates a niche for himself. Because he’s a devious weasel, that niche involves going to extraordinary lengths to steal opposing teams’ play signals—not that he admits to violating any NCAA rules in the process. He gets busted and the dream job blows up, but Michigan wins the national title and Stalions joins the rogues’ gallery of con men who help make college sports so weirdly fascinating.
