Keep your friends close, and your gangsters closer (The Black Sox Scandal)

Run For Your Life (1904 Olympic Marathon)

Hall of Shame - Throne of Lies (New England Patriots Spygate Scandal)

Rachel is cracking open that beer because football season is back! The 2002 Super Bowl was momentous. It was Tom Brady and Bill Belichick’s first with the New England Patriots and with zero seconds left, they upset the St. Louis Rams with a 48 year field goal! This game kicked off a golden age for the Patriots and their game was unstoppable. But as reports started to creep up about the Patriots secretly videotaping opponent's sidelines, questions about their integrity started to arise. As the ol' saying goes: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them; then there's the New England Patriots who are dirty dirty cheats.

Throne of Lies (New England Patriots Spygate Scandal)

Hey everybody, I'm Rachel Bonetta and I'm Rechna Frucbom and this is Hall of Shame.

I am just overjoyed right now because we're recording this early but when this comes out

do you have any idea what is going to be happening in our lives?

Besides Pure Chaos I'm probably so much trash.

When this podcast comes out it will be the first week of football.

Actually I think technically there will have been games played but whatever we're celebrating

football coming back and because we are doing that.

I think of all seasons to be a football fan.

In this case this year it's just to be a sports fan.

Fall has got to be just like the greatest time.

Hopefully the finals happening around this time.

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.
