Most people know Matt Suhey as the former Chicago Bears fullback who blocked for Walter Payton en route to numerous rushing titles and a Super Bowl.

Today, we're diving into a personal story, and that is the fact that I, Jeff Pearlman, was the worst Division-I athlete of all-time.

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City. I was both a New Yorker and a baseball writer at the time, and being there that day brings back awful, awful memories. But today, I want to dive into what happened 10 days later, on September 21, 2001, at Shea Stadium, and the HOPE that baseball brought America that night. Have any guests you want to see on the show?

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?

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'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?

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?

Today, we're diving into one of my favorite - and I mean one of my FAVORITE - quarterbacks of all-time: Doug Williams.

Today, we're diving into one of the most requested stories we've ever gotten on this channel, except, with a twist. It's 1986 and the NBA has one of the most promising athletes coming out of college: Len Bias of Maryland for the NBA.

A couple months ago, Netflix's UNTOLD docuseries did a piece on the early-2000's Portland Trailblazers, unaffectionately known as the 'Jailblazers.' What followed was one of the laziest pieces of storytelling that I've seen. Here is the REAL story of the Portland Jailblazers of the early 2000s. Have any guests you want to see on the show?
