Today, we're going to talk about the most insane, over exaggeration of a sports story-turned-Hollywood-blockbuster of all-time - Moneyball. The year is 2011, and Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, debuts in movie theaters across the country. It's based on the 2002 Oakland Athletics and...

In 1999, a can't miss prospect named Josh Hamilton was drafted No. 1 overall by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. By 2005, he was out of the league. By 2010, he was AL MVP. This is the incredible story of Josh Hamilton's battle with addiction, fame, fortune, and failure.

Today, we're going to discuss one of the worst decisions of my life. It's 1979, I'm seven years old, I'm sitting at the dinner table with my family, and for some moronic, stupid, idiotic reason, I decided to dedicate my fandom to the good-for-nothing, sorry, pitiful, New York Jets.

In 2018 I was working on my book Three Ring Circus about the Shaq & Kobe Los Angeles Lakers of the 2000s. In 2001, the Lakers acquired an athletic, scoring shooting guard who was the former No. 5 overall pick in the 1993 NBA draft, but had bounced around the league with multiple teams. This episo...

BONUS EPISODE* September 11, 2001, is the worst day of my and many other New Yorkers' lives. I've lost my Dad, grandparents, loved ones - it's the worst day. But that day led me to the Ugolyn family, and a 20+ year friendship that I still hold to this day. This is the story of how the tragic even...

Tragedy in sports is not new. We deal with athletes who are gone too soon, far too often - Thurman Munson, Kobe Bryant, Len Bias - the list goes on and on. But today, we're going to talk about one of the forgotten tragedies in sports history, a guy who was Thurman Munson or Kobe Bryant for an ear...

Today, we're going to explore something that's outside our realm of sports stories. It's a story some of you may have heard before, but not like this. This is the story of how Tupac Shakur almost gave up music before even starting, and how touring with Digital Underground led to both tragedy and ...

Usually, we do these stories about sports figures, past, present, and future. But today, we're going to talk about an unsung hero. It's November 2021, and Henry Ruggs III has just gotten into a terrible car crash, killing Tina Tinter and her dog, Max. But on that night, there was a third person o...

Today, we're going to discuss one of my favorite baseball players of all time. He was a flash in the pan who was set for a much longer career, but like many athletes, injuries derailed his promising future. Today, we discuss the legend of former Detroit Tigers ace Mark "The Bird" Fidrych.

This is it. The team, the story, the one you've all been asking for. However, for this, we're going to focus on one specific instance from the most batshit crazy, insane MLB team of all-time: The 1986 New York Mets. Post NLCS, the Mets are coming off a huge win over the Houston Astros and are hea...

Today, on the 34-year anniversary of the song, we are diving into a story that is maybe my greatest accomplishment as a journalist in my career. It's 1991, and Tupac Shakur has just released his debut album '2pacalypse Now' with his smash hit single 'Brenda's Got A Baby.' It's a song about a youn...

Today, we're going to talk about my favorite NBA expansion team ever. A collection of good to not-so-great players, all buying in to launch the Miami Heat franchise in 1988. Except, they sucked. The 1988 Miami Heat couldn't shoot, couldn't pass, couldn't dribble, and they ended up being on the wr...

Today, we're diving into the incredible, confusing, exciting, yet deflating career of Vincent Ferragamo, the LA Rams' good-looking, strong-armed, career backup QB, who had one of the most amazing one-year runs by an NFL QB in history, only to end up in the very place he competed to get out of.

Today, we're diving into a story about a guy who would make Barry Bonds seem like a media darling. A man who makes John Rocker look like - well, John Rocker will always look like a jerk, but you get the point. Today, we're diving into the one and only Dave Kingman, baseball's biggest a**hole.

Today, we're diving into Quintin Dailey, the University of San Francisco phenom whose life story is one of the most complicated and tragic, yet horrific and grotesque stories I've ever covered. From severe allegations to playing alongside Michael Jordan in the National Basketball Association, thi...

Today, we're diving into one of the most requested pieces on this channel: The great American hero Joe Delaney. We love tossing the word 'hero' out when speaking about athletes, but there's only a handful who've ever been honored enough to earn that title, and Joe Delaney is one of them. This is ...
