"Luck" of the draw (1985 NBA Draft Conspiracy)

Hall of Shame - Gambling, gangsters, & the Great One (Operation Slapshot)

Rachel would wager Rachna hasn’t heard this one before. Once upon a time, sports gambling wasn’t just frowned upon, it was illegal. But what’s a little money among friends? For the New Jersey police, $1.7 million\xa0in bets\xa0on the 2006 Super Bowl was a little too much to leave on the table. The investigation that followed linked the New Jersey state\xa0troopers,\xa0Philly’s\xa0biggest crime family, and Canada’s most beloved\xa0athlete.

And I'm Rechna and this is Hall of Shame.

Okay, so first off, we're in quarantine right now.

We're finding ways to stay entertained and I know that I'm about 500 years behind, but

I'm bingeing the sopranos from the beginning right now.

I'm watching it from the beginning and I am fully obsessed.

Like we're making big Italian pasta dinners to eat now.

So and I love mobster stuff like crime families, Godfather, good fellas.

I cannot get enough, but it's made me think it's made me think about some stuff this

I am not the kind of person to commit crimes, which I realize is a ridiculous thing to

say, but I literally just could not do it.

Putting myself in like polywall and that's shoes.

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.
