    Even late in his career Randall McDaniel used to embarrass an in his prime Warren Sapp, on a daily basis in practice.

    The Jaguars asked Fred Taylor not to tell anyone about his serious groin injury early in his career.
    They kept him on the injured list, when they knew he would not play, thus creating the
    "Fragile Fred" myth, which will probably keep him out of the HOF.

    Bill Cartwright threatened to break Michael Jordan's legs if he ever talked down to him like Jordan had a habit of doing to his teammates

    Ron Artest broke Jordan's rib during a pickup game when Jordan was planning to make a comeback with the wizards

    Villanova bball player Corey Fisher impregnated teammate scottie Reynolds' gf which caused a late season swoon from a top ranked team and an eventual early round ncaa tournament exit

    Kobe punched samaki walker on the team bus


    That's 100% true. I heard it was actually in practice over something, hard foul maybe during a scrimadge. Salami I think got asked about it one time and that ? got heated so I think it happen for sure.


    I heard Doug Christie wife had him under such a tight leash she was the only wife that was flying on the team plane in Sacramento. She fixed it so she wouldn't let that ? outta her site at all. Smh at him being to simpish to tell her to "get the ? outta this plane before I ? you up"

    Personally everytime I ever seen Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant play eachother they just appear to be one second away from punching the ? outta eachother.

    I've wondered for a long time if they hate eachother or is it just competitive spirit.

    Cause overall Kobe is a ? but Vince is cool with everybody... Everybody.

    I never knew what to make out of the Cal Ripken/Kevin Costner rumor. Costner was staying with Cal after making some movie. Cal leaves to go to the game. Apparently he left something at home. When he gets back home Costner is smashing off his wife. Word is Ripken beats his ass, then calls the team and tells them he has way too much going on at home and he's gonna miss the game. So the Orioles owner Peter angelos tells fans the game is canceled due to a power issue at the ball park.

    yeah its something to that because vince was hating when kobe dropped 81

    "Kobe is taking too many shots to get to 81, He is not setting the right example for kids out there, kids look at us and when kids see Kobe not passing the ball they don't learn the right things"

    That ? started way before then though. Back in 2000 when Vince was being touted as the next Jordan, Kobe lit him up for 46 on 22-26 and was talking ? the whole ? game.
