Number 1: Chain Smoking & Alcoholism Led David Woodley To A Super Bowl...Then It All Fell Apart
Today, we're diving into the illusion of sports. When we think of sports, we think of the highest highs, the money, the fame, the women, the glory. But, in reality, sports at the highest level are filled with insecure and self-conscious men and women who sometimes struggle with it all. That was David Woodley - a star quarterback who wanted to be anything but. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

Number 2: Albert Belle Was The Most Un-Hinged Baseball Player Of All-Time
Today, we're diving into one of the most terrifying, scariest, mean, nasty, un-hinged baseball players of all-time. A guy who teammates disliked, opponents feared and fans hated. Today, we dive into the strange, complex, enigmatic Albert Belle. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

Number 3: Alcohol, Drugs, Strippers & Dingers - The '93 Phillies INSANE Run To The World Series
Today, we're diving in to - in my opinion - the last, most INSANE team in MLB history - the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies. This team rivaled the '84 Padres & the '86 Mets with World Series runs, they rivaled the level of insane, bat-sh*t craziness that each of those teams had, too. And that's what we're going to dive into today on the Press Box Chronicles. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

Number 4: The Story Behind The WORST Greatest Athlete List Of All-Time
Today, we're diving into what was one of the worst things I've ever worked on. Back in 1999, Sports Illustrated's decided it wanted to make an end of the century 50 Greatest Athletes Of All-Time List. Except, they wanted to do it by state. Yes, 50 of the greatest ahtletes of all-time, in each state. For all 50 states. It went about as poorly as you would think. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?

Number 5: I Spent Weeks Chasing Allen Iverson. Then My Phone Rang.
It's the Season 3 Finale! Our final episode of the season takes a look at one of the most influential, culturally important figures in NBA history: Allen Iverson. Except in this story, it's my first-hand account of flying all over the east coast to land an interview with AI for Sports Illustrated, getting blown off left and right, only to have the most incredible, amazing act of kindness put a bow on my whole experience.
