This week, we look at the first high school basketball player to be drafted by the NBA. The problem was, by that time, he was already accumulating a criminal record that would far surpass anything he would ever do on the basketball court. He was accused of awful things, including an allegedly doing one of those awful things to a future member of The Supremes. He never learned his lesson. Kept drinking, shooting heroin, and finally robbing drug dealers to make a living. This all ends as badly as you might think, but the story isn't over, because his son (a junior) has done even worse things!!

Go straight from high school to the NBA, knock a policeman's hat off his head, and turn into your local, neighborhood Omar with Reggie Harding!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

#329 - Drugs, Death Penalties & Shipping Fees - The Innovativeness of Reginald Spiers

1 Recommendations

This week, we check out one of the weirdest, craziest stories, ever! He was an Australian javelin thrower, but there isn't much sports to talk about here. Why? Because this guy did so much more. Including putting himself into a wooden box, and shipping himself COD from London, all the way to Australia. From there, he got deep into drug smuggling, with some pretty ingenious ideas. Only problem is, he keeps getting caught. Including being caught with heroin in Sri Lanka, and being sentenced to death! Did he survive to smuggle another day??

Throw things for international acclaim, ship yourself 13,000 miles, and start a smuggling ring with all of your best friends with Reginald Spiers!!

#331 - Style, Murder & Pee - The Flamboyantness of Hector "Macho" Camacho

1 Recommendations

This week, we check out one of the most flamboyant, wild, and successful boxers who has ever lived. His outfits. His crazy entrances. And even his in ring style was different from all the rest. Unfortunately, his style of getting arrested was also very different. Whether it's having sex, while driving a Ferrari on the freeway, or just dropping through an electronics store ceiling, to steal lap tops, and urinate in the fax machine. He fought cops, regular people, his wife, and his girlfriend, in the street. All of this while being on an insane amount of cocaine! In the end, the whole thing is a murder mystery, for the ages!!

Call going to Rikers Island "just having some fun", snort more cocaine by yourself than most mid sized cities, and have one of your girlfriends & your sister fight at your funeral with Hector "Macho" Camacho!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!
