I feel like these are all bullshite. Like does anyone actually think the NBA made MJ retire that first time over gambling debts? They are interesting to talk about though

What was the basis behind it? Just the performance of the team? You would think if it was true somebody like a walkon or GA would of spilled the beans by now.

Additional rumor was that Lee was suspended for something and that's why he didn't play.

I never understood Miles obsession with putting dual threat QBs in a pro style offense.

the oral history of LSU's offense from 2008-20015 would be insane

we went from a spread to a spread option to SUPER pro syle to 2 TE, i-form and pray. constant changing of our OL style (man zone man zone ) etc

Larry Foster snatching his girlfriends purse because she had pictures and threatened to show his wife. Band members saw where he was hiding and she sniffed him out.

Nah. They definitely were the GOAT LSU team and while they weren't more talented or better schematically than many other teams they ran a gauntlet that backed up that argument. They finished with wins over the #1, 4, 5 teams in the final poll.

I didn't want to go the PED route because no one cares about tennis, but Rafa Nadal had a couple of injury breaks through the years that seemed very fishy (Yannick Noah said all Spaniards are dopers). Djokovic used to have all kinds of asthma and endurance problems, then started using pressurized eggs and became one of the fittest athletes sport has ever seen. And I'm a Fedtard, but old guys have never played as well as him. Tennis is probably a PED playground.

This has been well documented.

Not as documented as the Russian doping scandal but it all started with Indurain.

Close. Supposedly, Pruitt showed out at a bbq and was acting like an arse to Richt about Brian Schittenhimer. Thomas Brown shut that shite down with a quickness.

Another good one was when Miami was trying to get in the ACC. The rumor was if they didn’t get in that Miami and FSU were gonna recruit USF, UCF, FIU, and FAU to create the FloCON.
