Summary
This week, we check out a former Dallas Cowboy great, who started out by being given up by his mother, at age 2. He grew up in rough conditions, only to come out the other side as a star. Then, it all fell apart. Cocaine, booze, bad driving, fraud, fighting with girlfriends, and wandering the neighborhood, barefoot, banging on doors, and screaming for his wife. Also, several funny nicknames. Crazy story!
Find out you're adopted, when the DMV tells you so, be on the Dallas Cowboys, during the old time glory days, and get extremely into religion with John "Johnny Nightlife" Niland!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
