We're Alive! Here's Proof.

Severe technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts essentially took us out of the game for a bit there, and nearly erased our entire Barry Bonds episode but in true J and D fashion we rambled on and overcame.
Finally back up and running, and eager to check in with our Freak Show crew.
Back in business baby.

"A linebacker on skates"...
You don't need to know much about hockey to appreciate that any player with that kind of reputation is probably going to be a must see.
This week's legendary Freak Show athlete exceeded his reputation in every way, and is arguably one of the most astounding combinations of brutality and skill that the NHL has ever seen. Standing at a healthy 6 feet 4 inches tall (WITHOUT skates), and weighing 240 lbs, he was a full tilt heavy hitting force to be reckoned with, and yet still managed to average 1.33 points per game during his 8 years with the Philadelphia Flyers.
***Which by the way, placed him 4th all-time, trailing only Wayne Gretzky (1.92 PPG), Mario Lemieux (1.88 PPG), and Bobby Orr (1.39 PPG)***
Oh, that's right, he was much more than just a freight train in hockey pants, and although the unfortunate series of concussions that would ultimately end his career became part of his legacy, the fact that he fundamentally reshaped the NHL in more ways than one, can not be ignored.
This week, J and D come at you full speed with the intricate and intriguing story of the one and only Eric Lindros. From rejecting his first NHL contract, to being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and everything in between the blue lines. The puck drops hard in this week's episode of The Freak Show with J and D.

The long overdue and almost completely lost episode is finally here. Thank you to all of our fans for "Barrying" with us on this. We're pumped to be back.
In this week's episode, one of the most controversial names in professional sports gets some much deserved love.
Why is Barry Bonds - arguably the greatest technical hitter and one of the greatest players in MLB history - not seated in the Hall of Fame?
Can alleged steroid use really negate the fact that Barry Bonds had a statistically insane career? Even when the years in question occurred after almost a decade of all star rankings, MVPs, silver sluggers, golden gloves and more?
Many sports fans hear the term "steroids" and completely dismiss the player, and rightfully so most of the time... but in this case, the reality is that with or without any alleged performance enhancers, Barry Bonds is an iconic MLB legend and his resume really speaks for itself.
Grab an ice cold pop and get ready to learn all about the intricate history of Mr. Controversy himself. But don't ask any stupid questions... why? "because they're stupid".
