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 wrong side of NBA history. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

Today, 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 young woman who gives birth to a son on the floor of her kitchen, and leaves him in a trash heap. It's a harrowing story that hits deeply for many, and is one of his biggest hits to date. Except, the story was real. It was based on a real woman. And a real baby. And I found them both.

This it 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 heading to the World Series. What happens next is the craziest sh*t you've ever heard.

Today, we're going to discuss one of my favorite baseball players of all time.

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 got into a terrible car crash, killing Tina Tinter and her dog, Max. But on that night, there was a third person on site: Tony Rodriguez. This is his story. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

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 triumph.
If you pre-order my book 'Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives Of Tupac Shakur' now and email me proof of your order at TupacBook1@gmail.com, you'll receive a specialized package from me as a thanks to you. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

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 that was Thurman Munson or Kobe Bryant for an earlier generation, and that's Chicago Cubs 2B Ken Hubbs.

*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 Columbia basketball player Tyler Ugolyn, the Ugolyn family, and a 20+ year friendship that I still hold to this day. Have any guests you want to see on the show?

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 episode is about the enigmatic Isaiah "J.R." Rider. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

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.

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 GM Billy Beane, who introduced analytics into the clubhouse. What happened in the film - and what actually happened on the field - couldn't be further apart.

Today, we're going to talk about one of my all-time favorite athletes. An athlete that was literally the most insane, batsh*t crazy athlete I've ever covered. An athlete so crazy, he once punched his coach, threatened his team owner, and watched team practice from the sidelines - AFTER being cut. This is the story of Greg Fields.

In 1977, Rick Bell is drafted No. 1 overall out of the University of Southern California by the Tamp Bay Buccaneers. He's a 1,000 yard rusher, with speed, agility, size and strength. By 1984, he was dead. This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever covered.

Today, we're going to talk about former Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Raiders lineman Lyle Alzado. A man who was once so feared by his peers across the league. A man who swore by hard work and dedication. A man whose years of anabolic steroid abuse he says led to his diagnosis of brain cancer, and ultimate death, at the age of 43. This is his story.
