Summary
This week, we look at a hockey player, who was a little too violent & short tempered, even for hockey. He never had a goal, other than playing hockey, and he achieved that by being drafted in the 1st round. But the only potential he ever lived up to was his potential for violence. He attacked opposing players, fans, coaches, trianers, timekeepers, and even the police! This temper leads to obvious arrests, and a big future of crime, ahead of him!!
Be terrified of your overinvolved father... until you beat him up, use your hockey stick as just an extension of your hand & hit people with it, and tell everyone that you're on your best behavior, then try to start a riot with Steve "Mental Case" Durbano - Part 1!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

I didn't think we'd be doing this for 10 years, the show or any other show. I didn't know what we were going to do it for. We weren't even going to do it for if those numbers stayed the same. Exactly. When we first started, I mean, nobody listened to the show. |
| 1:27.6 | Nobody, so it was like, huh, what are we doing this for? Why are we even bothering? This is so dumb. And then it worked. Then it's somehow it started working.

And then it's like, why wouldn't I do it with Jimmy? Because we talk all the time anyway. I'm like, you want to do this? And now I've been with you longer than I was with my fucking wife. It's funny. That was it, me and you at a barrow's pizza. Yeah. Saying, I'm like, do you want to just do this? And you're like, yeah, I'm going to fuck. I'll do it. |
| 2:01.4 | I was like, all right, cool. |
