The Biggest Sting in Sports History (Operation Flagship)

There Will be Blood (2009 Rugby Bloodgate Scandal)

Hall of Shame - Puke and Rally (The Michael Jordan Flu Game)

Rachel is going to need Rachna to hold her hair. It’s game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, and Michael Jordan’s Bulls are tied 2-2 with the Utah Jazz. But after a midnight snack goes awry for MJ, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be able to play. Until he proves that he most certainly can. But the quick turnaround from incapacitated to unstoppable scoring machine has some eyebrows raised to this day.

Puke and Rally (The Michael Jordan Flu Game)

And I'm Rechnaf Brooke Bomb and this is Hall of Shame.

You and I were just chattin' what a negativity in the world right now.

I mean, straight from our White House into everyone's homes.

Very difficult to not be insanely enraged right now.

Feels like if he could give us COVID through the internet, he might.

Listen, we're all very angry right now and it's a scary time.

It has been the last year and I think that what Rechna and I have done,

or at least tried to do, is be a little bit of an escape from that so that people can take a break.

Yeah, we're not astridges with our head in the sand but we all have to pick and choose when we engage and give ourselves a minute.

We all just need to take a breath and remember what laughter is.

Remember that there are scandals that don't spell the end of our democracy.

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.
