The most unstable athletes of all time

How about Johnny Tapia?

 

In all candor I was just having some fun tweaking our good friend F.O.F who became so unhinged at the veiled criticism of his story on original thread. I guess that makes me a little bit unstable.

 

Riddick Bowe

 

"Bad News" Barnes make this thread yet?

The airplane story is an all-timer.

Yes - early on. Airplane story is good but best is story of when Marvin robbed Providence city bus wearing his HS letterman jacket with name Marvin on it. Perhaps 2nd to that is when he waited for teammate to come out of dinning hall and whacked him over the head with a tire iron over dispute in practice. Not even sure if he was suspended for that .

 

Didn't Uguerth Urbina stab a bunch of teen-age waiters with a machete or something like that?

I was told well before that by one of his Venezuelan countrymen that he was a smoldering pack of dynamite, so he has to be on the list.

EDIT: Chased five farm workers with a machete and tried to set them on fire. Bought himself 14 years in prison and the end of his pitching career with that little stunt.

 

John Matuzak might be the clubhouse leader of 'em all

 

Pete Weber.

 

Who's Pete Weber ? ?

 

Dick Weber's son.

 

The Danton/Jefferson reference below was aces but the real culprit to the lunacy was Dave Frost.

Spinner Spencer anyone???

 

Many guys on this thread are just bad guys. Someone beat me to Tony Horton, by all reports a great guy who had some seriou smental health issues.

Now Spinner Spencer, and his dad, has some serious issues.
