The Flip Side (The Surya Bonaly Story)

Get Spangled, Baby (Top 5 Memorable National Anthems)

Hall of Shame - Full Court Shame (2000 Spanish Paralympic Basketball Scandal)

Rachel and Rachna promise they are great people. Just like the Olympics, the Paralympics are ripe with cheaters. In 1996 the International Paralympic committee introduced the Intellectual Disability Sport classification opening up the games to an entire new group of athletes. But in 2000 along came the Spanish basketball team who were hungry for a gold medal and corrupt enough to win by any means necessary. Think you know how this story goes? Trust, the depravity runs deeper than you think.

Full Court Shame (2000 Spanish Paralympic Basketball Scandal)

Hey everybody, I'm Rachel Bonetta and I'm Rechna for a thong and this is Hall of Shades.

Thank you, I'm wearing my t-shirt from Omaj, shout out.

Our Fave from Columbus, Ohio, Omaj sent us.

First they asked us what our wrestling names would be.

I had to think of mine for like an hour and Rechna was so quick with hers.

I came up with the triple rage based off of triple H.

I've been wearing it and walking my dogs in the morning.

They are one of my favorite sports apparel companies.

Fox Sports host and comic Rachel Bonnetta (“Lock It In”, “@Buzzer”) and comedy writer Rachna Fruchbom (“Fresh Off the Boat”, “Parks and Recreation”) are here to share their love for two things: sports and DRAMA. Sure, they obsessively root for Cleveland (the Browns and the Cavaliers, respectively), but they get even more excited by those crazy moments in sports that become almost legendary. We all know the sensationalistic scandals about cheating, gambling and sex, but Rachel and Rachna want to discover the humanity behind the headlines. That’s why they started Hall of Shame -- every week Rachel and Rachna will take each other through some of the biggest scandals in sports, from the thrill of Dock Ellis’ acid fueled no-hitter on acid to the agony of Rosie Ruiz’s fake Boston Marathon win. With humor and a healthy dose of perspective, they get to the bottom of what exactly went down, why these stories matter, and how they’re still relevant today. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll feel more invested in sports than you ever thought possible.
