Blues management moved shanahan to hartford for chris pronger. It was a pay back for shitting on the whole club house and destroying a good team atmosphere.

And then Pronger allegedly cheated on his wife in Edmonton with a news reporter and that’s why he requested to be shipped out of there. His wife wanted them out of there asap. They almost won a cup with him there too and then goes on to win a cup in Anaheim

Also Champ Bailey allegedly had cheated on his wife while in DC and that’s why he was shipped out for Portis

Still no mention of the Arkansas basketball love triangle this season? Do better, TD.

Apparently nobody here knows wtf you’re referring to. Thanks for all the details.

[img] McClain was an incredible LB but an absolute head case. The real story was he went flying out of the football dorm in his car and almost hit two fraternity guys on the access road next to fraternity row (Jefferson). They yelled “MF’er”, he got out the car and cleaned house. It was all kept down home by the TPD and the racial part was made up as an excuse to cover for him[/img]

Ro could do some work with his hands. I saw him lose it at Sanford's gym playing basketball. He cleaned the gym out. He hit this guy so hard it sounded like a gun shot, then he went into another head space and everyone was getting out of the gym as fast as we could

Kevin Costner broke Cal Ripkens jaw or something because he slept with his wife and he couldn’t play You got this all wrong according to the story I just read Ripken supposedly broke Costners jaw

---

Oh duh that makes way more sense because then ripkens hand would’ve just been bruised or swollen which makes sense why he could come back a day or two later.

Randy Savage had sexual relations with a 17 year old Stephanie McMahon in 1993.

Lol this thread.

You have to assume the wrestling ones are, if anything, watered down given whats being revealed in the Vince McMahon lawsuit right now.

Him and Shawn Michael were lovers? You betcha.

I need to go read that thread about those stories ha ha.

ETA: Questlove from the roots used to have this secret blog where he wrote down stories of his encounters with famous folks. He wrote one about how Allen Iverson had a team of folks working the games looking for hot women to "card up". Basically they would give the girl a card with a number on it and a car service would take her to and from the party at her discretion. They were efficient "like a hungry lion seeking whom they would devour" - basically if you were there with your little goomah and you got up to get a beer they would swoop in and card her up. He ended the story with one of the guys coming up to Quest at the game (who had a good looking girl with him) and saying, "yo, you lucky Chuck loves yo arse because you know we would have carded her up, right?"

So, I totally believe those type stories as well.

Howard Schnellenberger walked out of a girls’ dorm at OU crying.

Wait, that’s true not a conspiracy.

That whole year at OU was hilarious.

I always heard the hotel parking lot walk through was before his very first game at FSU when Va Tech came in and beat them 24-3.

Naw I don't think it was that one. I attended that abomination. The Doak was rocking and those fans wanted that team to be so good so badly It's hard to describe watching that Florida State offense in person that night. It was shockingly putrid.
