I don't think you can, but that would be nice. Without further ado, though, we should really get into our subject this week, Jimmy,

because it is goddamn insane, this man. It's Stanley Wilson. Yeah. Stanley Wilson is an ex-riot back. Oh yeah, he had some nice, some strong curls during the 80s. He grew up, or he grew up, he played in the NFL during the 80s,

which is the era of the Jerry Curls, honestly. That is when the black man mullet was in full effect. And he rocked it to the max. And the Bengals players were, he's a Cincinnati Bengal, and their players were especially into it. I don't know what was going on in the city of Cincinnati but Icky Woods, all of them.

Maybe it kept it from freezing. Man, I don't know what it was but they were, I just when you walked in that locker room it was just a it must have been just a haze of applicator just holy shit all the Jerry Curl juice. It had to smell terrible. Terrible. That grease stinks so bad. Stanley T. Wilson.

Yeah, man. I could never find his middle name. No? Couldn't find it. All I could find is T. What the fuck? Stanley T. Wilson. He's born August 23, 1961.

He's an L.A. kid. All right. He's born in Los Angeles. Grows up in Carson, California. Has both parents. He has a story that's, he has a beginning that is unlike most of our people. He just bucks everything. Yeah.

He has both parents. Nice middle class home. His parents are like good people. They're still together to this day. No kidding. His father, Henry, is just a religious man. They're very like kind of old school black religious, I would call them. Yeah, they're like, you know.

Like Southern Baptist or Lutheran or some shit? His father, Henry, calls the Bible, quote, the guidebook for raising kids. So that tells you a lot right there. Jesus. The guidebook. Good grief. Jesus. I hope he ignored certain parts of it.

Yeah, like the part where they split a child in half. Yeah, that one. There's a bunch of parts, really, where you go, I don't know if this is the best guidebook. I don't know if that's appropriate for children. Apparently, he used it as the guidebook. It worked out for the other son they had. He went to Banning High School, is where he played his high school,

and he was in the same backfield as Freeman McNeil. If you remember the old Jets running back from the 80s. He had a very, very good career at the Jets, number 24, I believe. All right. Yeah, he was really, really good, Freeman McNeil, in the NFL, but he wasn't as good as Stanley Wilson in high school because in both his junior and

his senior year, he was named Los Angeles City Player of the Year. Oh, shit. Stanley Wilson. Yeah. He was actually in L.A. Carson is in L.A. Yeah. He played in a, I guess, in a whatever.

I'm looking at the map. It is South L.A. It's near Long Beach. So it's a nice area. I mean, it's inland a bit. Yeah. Well, his parents, yeah, they're a nice middle class family. They weren't wealthy.

They're not living on the beach or anything. But they were, you know, good, had it together. Yeah. You know, he didn't grow up without a floor. Right. Like Willie Mays Aikens. Just down the road from Santa Monica. Seems like a...

A trailer. Yeah. Like Tommy Morrison. I'm sure there's some pockets of Carson that are shitty. I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure there's like anywhere. Yeah.

Apparently this house wasn't a shithole. Alright. It's like a nice house, well put together. Good. Families lived in the same house for 40 years. He had a solid foundation. He had a solid foundation that he took and pissed directly down the toilet. Directly down the toilet. In a very, very exciting way.

And he had a brother? I believe he had a brother. He didn't end up doing anything that we would note here. Fascinating. We'll let him live in anonymity at this point. He ends up going to Oklahoma for his college. All right. And back then, too, late 70s, early 80s, Oklahoma was a powerhouse. You got recruited to Oklahoma.

I mean, you were hot shit. Boomer Sooner. It was a big deal. There was no joke there. They're SEC, right? I don't know what the fuck they are now. Where are they? They're Big 12.

Are they? I think so. Or Big 10 or 12 or 14 or however the fuck many there are now. I don't know. All right. I'm not sure, but he ends up going there.

Yeah, Big 12. Back then, yeah, that was a top school to go to. Okay. Especially if you were a running back because they were very... Kind of still. Oh, still, it's a good school now,

but back then they were really a powerhouse. Like that was top tier powerhouse. That was top-tier powerhouse. All right. He said he never drank ever until his freshman year of college. So he had never drank at all. That's a good time to tie one on. Yeah, I guess he grew up straight and narrow with his parents on his ass. Well, yeah, your dad with the fucking Bible as the guidebook.

He's beating you with it. Yeah, he's like, I'm not going to drink. Gets to college. This is what happens when teenagers don't have any fun. He goes to college. That's a good way you with it. Yeah. He's like, I'm not going to drink. Yeah. Gets to college. This is what happens when teenagers don't have any fun. He goes to college. Well, that's a good way to put it. They don't have any fun. This is what happens when they don't have any fun.

They end up being Stanley Wilson. When their fun is learning a new hymn. Yeah. This is the problem. Because the first time he drank in college, he drank until he blacked out. Wow. So very few, as far as i know and like medically very few people are capable of blackout and still operate you have to have like

you're an alcoholic yeah you bought your systems used to processing the booze it shuts off your you're alert that yeah that's ready it shuts off your your your. Wow. But it just operates your body like on autopilot. And this lit him up like the Fourth of July, man. Like Christmas Day, it lit him up. You have no idea. He's like, this is fun. I've got to do this every week. His system must have been going like a pinball machine that was paying out, you know, or whatever it does.

Tilt, tilt, tilt. Tilt, tilt. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. We found it. We found it. This is what we meant for. This is what we meant for. To get wasted. for to get wasted this is the shit now this story too before we get into this i just want to give you guys a heads up of the of the patterns of this story and the rhythm of this story i don't

know if anybody's ever watched oz out there the prison drama hbo show but on oz i noticed something when i used to watch this show it's a show about prison it's very dark horrible things happen constantly basically if there was someone on the show. It's a show about prison. It's very dark, horrible things happen constantly. Basically, if there was someone on the show, if there was a character where things were going well for them, their wife and kid just visited them, or they just got good news about their court case, where they're going to possibly be getting their sentence commuted,

that means sometime in the next episode, they will be raped, stabbed with a hypodermic needle or have their throat slit or something horrible like that there's no that's just they're building you up for a fall that's the foreshadow getting you to love them so they can murder them story every time something's happening where you're like hey good for stanley wait two days no more than 48 hours he will be in a complete meltdown and fighting off police officers it's i love him already he's wild uh does a has a good career in college actually in 1979 he had uh 76 rushes 100 491 yards he started in 79 so he went all four years oh he played all four years wow 80 81 82

like a good christian boy his junior year he really killed it his junior year, he really killed it. His junior year, 1981, he had 156 rushes for 1,008 yards, which is 6.5 a carry, which is a lot. 6.5 a carry is, I mean, just imagine that every time you give the ball to a guy. You never use third down. Good for sixth. Yeah, that's what I mean. That averages a first down in less than two plays. That's what you want on that field.

He had 14 touchdowns in his career and 3,068 yards in his college career. So he had a really good college career. I mean, he wasn't that. He ends up coming out and he's in the 83 draft. And we'll talk about that later, the 83 draft, and why there was other running backs that were so highly touted

that it kind of pushed him down to the bottom. But before the draft, during his senior year at oklahoma he has a son that's born in uh in carson california fucking like crazy oh yeah stanley jr's born oh boy he named his kid jr again second week in a row it's like a father son it's the holidays we're coming up on so we're gonna do some father son stories his name is jr and as we all know from our previous episodes if you're an athlete and you're named Junior, you're just fucked. Not a good plan. Stanley Junior's going to get into football later,

and we'll find out about his fate later on. Great. Stay tuned for the end, because we're going to be done with Stanley. Full circle. And then we're going to come back with Junior, so stay put, guys. Stanley Senior goes in the 1983 NFL D draft, which is the legendary NFL draft. Yeah. There's a documentary from Elway to Marino.

It's a badass draft. On ESPN, which is a great, or made by ESPN. It's on Netflix now. You can catch it. It's terrific. This should just put that draft in the Hall of Fame. Oh, it was crazy. John Elway, number one overall.

Eric Dickerson went number two. So that's what I mean about the running backs. You had Dickerson. You had Kurt Warner, not the I mean about the running backs. You had Dickerson. You had Kurt Warner, not the quarterback, the running back for Seattle. Drafted. There was a lot of top-tier running backs. That was also the year you had Dan Marino. It was loaded, that draft.

Gnarly. Loaded. So he ends up going in the ninth round, Stanley Wilson. Wow, with that college career. Yep, goes in the ninth round. Drops. That's how loaded that draft was. It was a loaded draft and running backs. There was top running backs and only so many

teams want a running back and they didn't need them once they got them at the top. So he drops a little bit and he goes ninth round, number 248 overall. So that's not too bad. They don't even have nine rounds now though. Now they have seven. So that tells you

now. Now, tons of famous players in this draft. Like I said, only a couple after him that were drafted after him that were really, really good. Because I like to do that you could have had this thing. Round 11, pick 289, Jesse Sapolu, the San Francisco linebacker for a long time. And then round 12, pick 310, you could have had Carl Mecklenburg. Son of a bitch, the white rhino. Long time Denver Broncos legend, number 77 there. He's in the Hall of Fame. He's a terrific player. pick 310 you could have had carl mecklenburg son of a bitch the white rhino long time denver bronco number 77 there and he's in the hall of fame he's a terrific player you could have had

him but instead you got stanley wilson yeah whoops a daisy that's the bangles for you guys let's get into this shit because it's he starts with the fuckery pretty fast on this Jesus uh 1983 is his rookie season he plays in 10 games starts two of them them, which for a rookie, that's fine. 56 rushes for 267 yards, 4.8 yards in an attempt. Not bad at all. Only one touchdown. Also has 12 catches for 107 yards for a touchdown. So that's not bad, actually.

Out of the backfield, he's a little threat to catch the ball. You figure this, he's got a little something. We got a rookie here. He's promising. With some promise, absolutely. So that's 1983. The season starts, obviously, in September, October, November. December comes up.

There's a reason why he only plays 10 games in his rookie season, because in December he enters a 30-day drug treatment program. Whoops-a-daisy. Whoops. He loves cocaine. Oh, man. Oh, baby. This guy is Eddie Johnson mixed with, I'm not even sure, mixed with.

He had some promise and prowess, though, too. He did. He really could have kept it together and been an average. Could have had a good 10-year career, made some money. Stick around and since you've got it made. No, not going to happen, unfortunately. This poor son of eddie johnson here as we'll call him poor son of eddie instead uh he he starts doing drugs right away

right away and says too when he went to drug rehab he thought he'd be hot shit in drug rehab he's like i'm an nfl player going into drug rehab but he went in his home in la at first and he said it was all celebrities yeah movie stars in there with fucking charlie sheehan lawyers and all these people he was like oh okay i guess i'm prominent he gives them nobody i guess i'm just another cokehead never mind so um this continues he goes in and out of drug rehabs basically all of early 1984 i think they think he has it kicked in the early summer of 84. They think he's doing well. Oh, kicked.

I thought you said kit. No, no, no. Like he's in rehab and he's got a kit in his duffel roll or something. They think he's doing okay. Everything's going fine. August 1984, though, he has a little relapse again. Of course. This is the end of the preseason.

He enters a drug treatment facility for 30 days at this point. Obviously, things are going rough. So once he gets out of that, though, he's ready. They let him go right pretty much from drug rehab to the season. This is the NFL of the 80s, too. It's like they have to get the talent back on the field. They're all silver-haired middle-aged women. They're like, I don't give a shit who he kills, murders, robs, or maims.

I need him making money for me out there. Now you let some air out of a ball, and they take it to the Supreme Court until they can keep you out of the league for four games. That's what I'm saying. So in 1984, he plays in one game. Wow. Has 17 rushes for 77 yards. It was 4.4 per carry.

Damn fine. And then he is suspended for the rest of the season for more constant drug use. October 30, 1984, he's suspended indefinitely. They don't even know how long. Just go away. You have got to just... Get out of my sight!

Fuck off for a couple of minutes here. It was like a parent with a kid. Just go through... Go away! Go in your room. I don't even know what I want to do with you right now. I'm not even sure what the punishment is. I just know that I'm going to punch you if you don't leave.

That's it. One of those things. Not a peep out of you. Not a peep out of you. Not a peep out of you. So, yeah, November 2nd, 1984, now a couple days later, the NFL orders Stanley to undergo drug evaluation basically to see what his fucking problem

is. They want to check him into a hospital. He's not allowed to play again until he completes any prescribed treatment and it's also under the thing, basically, if they let him back in the league and he fucks up then they can do whatever they want to him.

They know he's got a major problem. Yeah. This is that he failed a drug test the week before is what ends up happening.

He comes back one game and he fails a drug test and he's going through the whole thing here. Jesus. And now we have

our first silver haired middle aged white man statement of the day. Paul Brown who I believe is the son of the original Paul Brown, who started the Browns and then went and started the Bengals. Let me ask this question real quickly.

What do you got? Have you ever done coke? Once. Okay. It was horrible. That's my point. The worst thing ever. That's my point.

It's a terrible fucking thing. What is it about that drug that somebody can do it? It's got to speak to you, man. It's got to. It's got to speak to you. You just worked your balls off your entire life to get into college. You worked for four years, worked your ass off every day running in the hot Oklahoma sun.

And this is nothing. And then you get drafted and you've got a coke problem. Wait till you hear the things that coke robs him of later. Wow. That's just amazing to me. That drug is so terrible. It's not even a good one.

To me, it's the worst because to me, I'm like a high-strung guy anyway, as you guys can probably tell. I'm a high-strung guy, so that made me me times ten. I was like, oh, God, I hate myself. The worst thing ever. It was a horrible, horrible experience. Never again. like oh god i hate myself the worst thing ever it was a horrible horrible experience never again i did it with i put it on top of marijuana and smoked it they call it snow caps and so you get stoned and you're chilled out but then that shit makes you just want to go racing at the same time like i gotta go do something but i don't want to do something it's the worst fucking drug it's

terrible this guy loves it. And he is going to... That's crazy to me that anybody could love it like that. Some people, man. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty evident. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as popular as it is. Oh, yeah. Some people, it speaks to them. It's just like anything else.

Got a whisper in your ear. You know, like, I really like steak. Some people aren't too into it. You know, I get a steak in front of me. I'm like, this is what I'm talking about. Some people are like, I'll eat broccoli. Not me. I'll eat broccoli and have a steak pile of cocaine.

This guy would cut the steak up into tiny bits and snort it. That's the problem. Or into little rocks and smoke it, as we'll get into. That's sick. So Paul Brown, the general manager of the Cincinnati Bengals at this point, we'll hear from him over the years as our silver-haired middle-aged white man.

He says about Stanley, quote, this is on November 2nd, 1984, by the way, quote, Stanley's an excellent player, but we're not going to play a player who is involved with drugs. Stanley completes the program successfully. That's not the problem. The problem is he can't stay away when he gets out. No shit. But he says we're not going to allow players to play around drugs. Yes, you will.

Through the 80s, you will a lot. I i love this it depends on how good they are let's say that i love when they make a stance like we will not morally horse shit right do whatever makes you 10 extra cents you silver-haired cocksucker we won't let anybody do drugs unless icky woods is that guy doing yeah because he had a good year and he's got that dance and he sells t-shirts. So if he wants to do some coke, we're going to let him. Do that Icky shuffle. Here's another bump. So 1985, he's suspended for the entire season.

Gone. They just shit can him. So he's missed. 16 games. So he's missed 84, you know, the 15 games of 84. It was 12 then, right? No, it was, well, it went from 14 to 16, I believe, in 83. That might have been part of the new, when they did the strike in 82,

I think that was part of the thing because they played two extra games and went to 16. So he would have been on the 16 schedule. Gotcha. So yeah, he's missed 31 games here in the last two years now. So many paychecks. That's the thing. That's the problem with him, too. Money is always an issue for him.

Jesus. 1986, May 6th of 86, he's money is always an issue for him jesus 1986 may 6th of 86 he's reinstated into the nfl after many petitions to be reinstated into the nfl he's gone through all the rehabs i'm good now yeah he's doing the i'm good now i've been through all these rehabs look guys i have my shit together and jump through your hoops i jump through all your hoops everything's good in the league, actually, they're thinking about it and they reinstate him.

So they believe him. They believe him. 1986, plays in 10 games, has three starts, 68 rushes for 379 yards, 5.6 per attempt. That's great. That's great.

Out of your fullback and eight touchdowns. So he seems like a beast. That's a guy you can bring in. He's not your number one guy, but he's your number two back that you can bring in and bang around. He's a real tough son of a bitch, this Wilson, too. I think he's 5'11", 205 he's listed at.

So he's earning those five yards a carry. But he is a hammer. He's a hammer. He's tough. Everybody on the team says how tough he is. He's a tough, tough son of a bitch. You know those eight touchdowns were all from four yards out. I was going to say, he seems like a goal line back. He's a hammer. He's tough. Everybody on the team says how tough he is. He's a tough, tough son of a bitch. You know those eight touchdowns were all from four yards out. I was going to say, he seems like a goal line banger.

He's a bruiser, yeah. He's a goal line banger. Now, May of 1987 comes around. This is before the 1987 season. This is before training camp even starts. He still has to get tested all the time, basically. He's under special rules where he eventually gets tested three times a week. Holy shit.

Which is a shitload of drug tests. Now, Sam Weitsch, who's his coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. Later ended up being the head coach of the Titans? No, Weitsch. Or the Oilers? No, he was with Tampa Bay before that, I believe. Or maybe he went to Tampa. No, he went to Tampa after that.

Sorry. He went to Tampa after he left Cincinnati. I forget. He's a goofy looking fuck, right? Yeah, in the 90s he went to... The handlebar mustache? No, no, no, no. No?

No, no. Who the hell am I thinking of? I don't know who the hell you're thinking of, but that is not Sam Weish. I'm going to Google Sam Weish's fucking face. Oh, that guy! Yeah, Sam Weish. You know Sam Weish. Sam Weish is worried about Wilson.

He looks like a wiener. A little bit. He looks like a dork. Wilson's got a drug test the next day. So Weish is worried about him. And he is being very silver haired in this particular case. He's so silver haired. He takes Wilson to his home for the night to keep him out of trouble because he's got a drug test the next day.

So he takes him home to his house and just hangs out with him all night long because he's got a drug test in the morning feeds him ice cream and shit and they sit in there and eat ice cream isn't this sugar here isn't this good this is high enough isn't it yeah you're high it's okay uh he's the cookie dough but wilson still fails the fucking test of course because he's an idiot doesn't matter he waited until sam went to bed and he probably had a bag in his pocket he he's like, I gotta go take a piss coach and he goes in there and he sprinkles it on his ice cream. Yeah, this guy's using it in place of Splenda. It's a fucking mess.

It's a goddamn disaster. How stupid must Sam Weish feel that he tried so hard and the guy still got the drugs by him? Guess what? He's gonna keep trying too. May 29th, 1987, Wilson,

accompanied by a Players Union lawyer named Tim English, who sounds very silver-haired as well, they have a two-hour closed-door meeting with Pete Rozelle

to plead their case for the suspension of him to be lifted, basically. This is in New York City at the league headquarters. He's kind of taking a preemptive action.

Like, hey, please, I know I fucked up. It's cool. I'm better now. It's fine. June 24th, 1987, he's suspended of taking a preemptive action. Like, hey, please, I know I fucked up. It's cool. I'm better now. It's fine. June 24th, 1987, he's suspended for the season. Oh, boy. Stick to your guns.

That means nothing. All of his begging and pleading means absolutely jack shit to him here. Hilarious. June 3rd, 1987, the suspension is extended to an indefinite period for his repeated involvement with cocaine. Yes, this is the second suspension for violating the drug policy. That's indefinite period for his repeated involvement with cocaine. Yes, this is the second suspension for violating the drug policy. That's indefinite. Second indefinite.

We don't know what the fuck to do with you, you jackass. So he does not play the entire 87 season. He is suspended by the league. Complete mess. This is so depressing. It's depressing, man. This guy goes down a rabbit hole

and he is just a mess. Cocaine's not that great of a thing. If he wasn't so goddamn funny, this would be just sad. If he didn't do things in such a spectacular fashion, like, you'll see what I'm talking about. But if he didn't come out one day and be one way and then be the exact opposite the next day, it wouldn't be so funny.

But it really, really is. His piss all over his unsorry. You'll see why here now early 1988 before the season like winter you know early early 1988 bengals running back coach jim anderson goes to la to see how wilson's doing during his suspension goes to check in on him make sure he didn't gain 60 pounds yeah make sure he doesn't have you know just cocaine all over his nose he didn't gain 60 pounds. Make sure he didn't lose 130. Exactly. Let's get everything fine here.

Let's make sure all our ducks are in a row. And he says, Wilson looks great. Goes back to Cincinnati, recommends they, you know, bring him back when he's, when his suspension's up. He says,

we could use this guy. He looks like he's in great shape. Let's bring him back. We could use him. Shit, he's a running back coach. He's like, I need a guy.

Now, April 20th, 1988. Wilson's reinstated by the league. What the fuck? what the fuck like let's give him one more chance now this is under extremely extremely harsh circumstances he will be tested three times a week basically they say he doesn't have like normal normal parameters that the other players have it It's basically, if they suspect him fucking up, he's gone forever. That's the deal. They don't need a failed test.

They don't need anything. They need to have any suspicion of involvement with drugs. That's a last chance agreement, man. That's it. That's all you've got. This is his third strike here we're talking about, so that's what it is. Now, we have an in their own words here. I can't wait.

General love of cocaine. Oh, Jesus. He is a talker we have a lot really a lot of in their own words from him I'm fueled by coke

most of this makes no sense most of his shit makes no sense or like the second half of his statements are contradictory to his first half awesome

this one actually makes sense though because it's his love of cocaine his purest purest love in the world for him he says in their own words quote

cocaine is seductive man mentally you're not convinced it's hurting you but i don't think about the end of my career if i use again i think about dying so he knows he can't he doesn't just do some cocaine and have fun right he's just he's balls out he's a blackout drunk i'll do all of it yeah i'll do all the coke he's a guy that yeah i'll just do all the coke and I'll be out at three in the morning looking for more of what everyone else is doing to bed. He's that guy when he calls his dealer and his dealer's like, how much do you need? He goes, all of it. How much do you have? What are you talking

about how much? All of the coke. I want all of the coke. Hold on. He just reaches in his pocket. I have this much money in just hands of my hands. How much does this buy me? Just balls of hundreds here. Here's my game check. How much does this buy me? Just balls of hundreds here. Here's my game check. How much does that give me?

He's treating his Coke dealer like a check cashing place. The 1988 training camp during the NFL training camp before the season, several players on the Bengals rent a limo to go out to a Dayton nightclub. They're going to go have some fun.

Dayton, Ohio? Dayton, Ohio. Well, they're in Cincy. What do you want? I mean, where are they going to go? Fucking Manhattan. Such a shithole. They're in Ohio.

They are where they are. Yeah. You got to make do. You got to, man. So they go out to the nightclub. They have a good time for a little while. The night ends early, though, because of Wilson. Big shocker.

Oh. Wilson apparently gets rejected by some women he was trying to dance with. And the players said he started, quote, getting physical with them. He's pulling a Marlon King and grabbing them. Don't you know who I am? I've been suspended twice for cocaine. Don't you know me? With his coke dick all floppy.

Jesus Christ. So his teammates have to escort him out of the establishment. And they all go home and call it an evening. Get your floppy coke dick out of here. So he cannot be, substances just do not agree with him. As we'll find out later more. Anything he does is just

going to completely eviscerate any chance of success. Do we ever get a quote from his parents about this? I want one so bad. All we get is I used the Bible as a guidebook. That's all we get. Damn it. That's it. Because I want to know what the fuck they think of all of this at this point. They just shake their damn heads.

Just sit and shake. Whoa, we're late for church. We have a good quote from one of the reverends about him later, though, that we're going to like. It's in court. So that's when you're bringing your reverend to court to speak for you, you know that you've got problems. There's a problem. There's issues at that point. So September 1988, this is the beginning of the football season.

He hasn't had a game check since 1986. Yeah. So he is dead broke. He is dead broke. He's got a Jaguar that he bought with his first contract in 1983 that he still has that he's currently living in. Wow. So he's literally going to practice, banging around, and then going and living in his Jaguar. Gotta assume that's a nicer space than most apartments in fucking Cincinnati, though.

I guess, but he's living in a Cincinnati parking lot, so that's no good. His view sucks, I'll tell you that much. Wherever he puts that car, it's still in Cincinnati. This is where he's sleeping, though. They're like, we need our running back to not be cramped from sleeping in the car, so Boomer Esiason. We need our running back's house to not have a license plate on it.

Wheels are fine if he wants to get himself a trailer. We don't want our running back to get pulled over in his house for a blinker out. Jesus, that's sad. That's so depressing. I've got a blinker out in my house.

I've got a blinker out in the back bedroom. I've got to put it in transmission in my house. I've got a blinker out in my house he's got a blinker I got a blinker out in the back bedroom I gotta put a transmission in my house I got a blinker out in the back bedroom problem I'm gonna get pulled over

so Boomer Esaias and the team's long time quarterback and I believe he's an analyst somewhere at this point he paid for Wilson to stay

in a hotel he paid for him checked him into a Westin hotel and said fucking here idiot it's a nice place you need a bed yeah for Christ's sake Wilson to stay in a hotel. He paid for him, checked him into a Westin hotel, and said, fucking here, idiot. It's a nice place.

You need a bed, for Christ's sake. You need a toilet. We have a game tomorrow. You can't shit in a cup anymore. This is not going to happen for us. This is not going to work. I don't know what the hell he's shitting in. He's shitting in a thirst buster. That's what he's shitting in.

I don't know. I figure he got his shitting done at the stadium, at the practice facility facility you know they're like come on guys practice is over he's like hold on coach yeah i gotta clear something out quick i gotta imagine they're walking into a gas station bathroom to piss and like you're peeing and you're like is that is that the running back of the cincinnati washing his armpits in the bathroom cloudy with jerry curl applicator you're like what's going on in here washing his armpits in the sink you wave's cloudy with jerry curl applicator. You're like, what's going on in here? Is he washing his armpits in the sink? Hold on, you wave the way to Hayes. You're like, is that Stanley Wilson over there?

That's hysterical. So 88 season, through the whole season, he's known for his erratic behavior and falling asleep in the players' lounge at the stadium all the time. Yeah. Erratic behavior and... Falling asleep. And constant day napping. What does that sound like to you?

Sounds like somebody on coke to you sounds like somebody on coke it sounds like someone on coke yeah it sounds like someone who's like i can't wait to get out of here and get some coke in me um he's frequently brought into coach weish's office and and basically they said they had the same conversation every time they'd bring him in and be like there's something fucking wrong with stanley and they'd bring him in they'd sit him down and coach weish here like a like a silver-haired middle-aged white man would he sits him down and says is there anything here that i should know about that's going on and stanley would say no and then go okay carry on and you know he went there's nothing i should

worry about right and stanley goes nope all right carry on carry on grab your playbook so 88 is a is a great year for the bangles it's a magical year for the Bengals. It's a magical year for the Bengals. They go to the Super Bowl this year. Haven't had one since. We'll get to that. No. They go 12-4 in the regular season. Wow. And Wilson is actually relegated to a...

They were 12-4 that year. Yeah, they killed it that year. My God. That was Icky Woods' rookie year, running back, and he had a monster year. I don't know if you guys are too young or anybody who remembers, or you might know him

because he's been on a commercial recently doing the Icky shuffle. Woo! It's the dance where he basically kind of cops to the right three times hops to the left and then throws something on the ground that's that's the dance and then the 80s around we were excited about yeah like look at him that's a big deal jerry krell juice dripping off of him in the breeze and he's just spinning and dancing we're like all right but still wilson has a damn fine year. His average per rush is down a little bit, but he plays in 15 games. That's great.

Starts six of them. 112 rushes, 398 yards, two touchdowns. He's a solid number two or three because they also have Brooks, the other running back. Utility guy. He's a utility guy. He's a big, banging fullback, and they like him. Chris Collinsworth, who is a teammate back then and a current. God, I fucking hate that guy. Yeah, he's one of my least favorite announcers, a current NFL analyst.

He is my least favorite announcer. He's going to come up a few times. He treats his job, I've said it a million times, he treats his job like it fucked his wife. I hate him so much. So much. And he loathes the Denver Broncos and I can't listen to him.

I have to watch the Denver Broncos games that he calls on fucking mute. That's another orange team. He doesn't like other orange teams. He's just a dickle. He says about Stanley

during this time, he says, quote, he's our resident street bully. Stanley brings an edge to our offense. Awesome. He goes around

and he's the guy that you don't fuck with. They said in camp, rookies would try to make a name for themselves and they'd try to hit him and he'd go you ain't gonna make

the team on me big boy. Keep trying. He'd say I'm not the guy to try to hit. Go hit someone who you're gonna knock down basically.

I do coke motherfucker. I'm a big coke headed man with a mullet and a jerry curl and I was raised with the bible as a guide book. Fucking fuck you.

God damn it. I sprinkle cocaine on frosted flakes. We are getting toward the mountaintop for Stanley here. January 1st, New Year's Day, 1989. The divisional playoffs, NFL divisional playoffs. The AFC divisional game here. The Bengals beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-13. This is Stanley's. This is a big day for Stanley here.

He has some big rushes in this game, some big first downs, has two touchdowns. In the game. In the game. He's won the divisional playoff. Icky Woods has the flu that day, and he's not feeling great. So Wilson gets the majority of it, and he comes through big time. Nice. And he even says afterwards, like they interview him, and he's like,

look, if that was Icky, if Icky's in the game, that's Icky's ball. You know what I mean? Like I wouldn't even want to be in there if he's healthy. He's even giving the praise to somebody else.

He says if he's healthy, I don't even want to be in there. That's the man right there. Wow. You know, he's being a good teammate. Yeah. Everything is going well

for this man right now. He's not on blow right now. He is on top of the world. A lot of talk about, you know, how he stepped up for Wilson or for Wilkie Woods and all that.

He says, in their own words on this, he says, quote, all those things I've been through in my life, I had coming to me. I deserve them. I think I deserve this now. It's been a lot of hard work, hard, hard, hard, hard work. It's been a lot of hard work and football is easier than the rest of it. Now I'm balancing the scales. I'm glad these good things are happening for me. So you feel okay for him look at Stanley he's getting it together good for you Stanley

definitely not on blow right now good for you you're easing off the cocaine that's the brain of a sane man with talent a sane professional man who knows how to pass praise around and keep his job he's taken his whole life to the top of the world right now

right jimmy next game here comes a hypodermic needle full of aids coming right out of january 5th 1989 wilson is arrested in newport kentucky across the river from cincinnati he's cited for disorderly conduct after urinating on a sidewalk outside of a nightclub called Rumors, which is another, like, every city had an 80s nightclub called Rumors. It's now defunct. Big shocker. He faces 90 days in jail and a $250 fine for this. For peeing on sidewalks?

He claims, his claim is that he was trying to use the club's restroom like a gentleman. Yeah. Like a gentleman. Like a guy that passes around praise after winning a divisional playoff game. I have to go urinate. I'll be in the restroom. I'll be in the lavatory. Thank you very much.

He says, I'm just in there trying to use the restroom. Two women burst in the door and did not leave me alone. They wanted to take a picture with me and I couldn't even piss. I'm familiar. What do you do at that point? I know that you can't go in a bathroom without women accosting you for photographs. It's crazy. Think about this. So what else do you do? What can you do? Do you get a bouncer? You go, hey, I'm trying to take a piss here. Do you go, hold on a minute, ladies,

let me piss meet you outside the bathroom? No. What do you do? You find an alleyway. You go out on the sidewalk and you piss on the side of the building. Right? Of course. Obviously his only option was the sidewalk at that point. So, you know, it's a goddamn mess. So we come to the Super Bowl week now. Yeah.

They beat the Bills in the championship game. Wilson doesn't really do much, but they end up going to the Super Bowl. They're in the Super Bowl. The Bengals are in the Super Bowl. Which is unfathomable now if you ever pay attention to football. So, January 20th, 1989. This is the Friday before the Sunday Super Bowl. So this is two

days before the Super Bowl. All players are given drug tests on this day. This is a thing. Make sure we got no drug test players in the Super Bowl. Now, there's an article here. All players are drug tested. We'll get into the drug test later. Wilson passes this drug test. As do all the Super Bowl. Okay? Now, there's an article here. All players are drug tests. We'll get into the drug test later. Wilson passes this drug test, as do all the other players.

And we'll get into something fishy about that later. Uh-oh. I don't care what middle-aged white man tampering with that. Somebody had a Wizenator? A possible Wizenator. So, two days, there's an article called, quote, Bengals Wilson glad to be back. And he holds a press conference he holds a press

conference at the Super Bowl because you know they have the press days he holds his own press conference tells everyone how great it is to be drug free he just loves his life talks about how content he is to be back in the league and back in control of his life finally what says how he's taking each day as it comes, staying busy, avoiding idle time. You know, idle time, that's when you do drugs. Keeping on schedule, maintaining everything, just thrilled to be drug free.

Also how they talked to him about how the night before there was some riots going on in Miami. He was driving to the stadium or whatever and his car was hit by rocks from a riot. So it was a Joe Robbie. It freaked him out. Yeah, it freaked him out. And so we have an in their own words about the whole rock thing here.

He says, in their own words, quote, there's a lot going on outside football. There's more to life than the Super Bowl. Ten years from now, nobody will know who Stanley Wilson is. If they focus on his being and who he is, he would be a success. What the fuck does that mean? What does that mean? I have no idea what that means. But nearly 20 years later,

we still know who you are, Stanley. Guess what, Stanley? You have not been forgotten. 27 years later. We're going to bring it up and we're going to keep bringing it up for a long time now. Meanwhile, he had rocks thrown at his car

so you know at least once he went was it one of those? Was that cocaine? Did that guy have cocaine? Should we turn around? Maybe he was trying to signal me to the fact that he had cocaine and he wanted to sell me some of it. Maybe they were just all Bengals fans and they were helping us out. Maybe. They were just throwing us some fuel

for the game. He's saying how the Super Bowl is the culmination of his life now. Of his now life. That stinks though, by the way. He's saying how the Super Bowl is the culmination of his life now. Of his now life. That stinks though by the way. The press conference of just somebody that's like, I've got to tell everybody that I don't do drugs because I'm totally Right. Ray Lewis

How happy they are that they're not doing drugs. Ray Lewis before the Super Bowl against the Niners didn't go I'm so glad to not be murdering folks anymore. I'm glad to not be stabbing people. Let me tell you something. It was not me. Me and my friends are not stabbing anybody any longer.

He's so excited about this, and he's calling it his now life, you know, his new life. He's so excited he flew his parents from L.A. His parents, cousins, aunts, uncles. He flew 10 people in from L.A. They all made signs that says, Go Steamer, because his name

is Stanley Steamer. They're all making signs, and they're excited, and they're going to cheer him on. They can't wait to see him. His son's five years old. He's going to get to see his dad play in the Super Bowl. This is great shit. It's a dream come true.

He says how he's done the recovery thing so many times, you know, drug recovery thing, that he's an expert now. And they keep saying how recovery is no easy task, but Wilson seems to have it down. The reporter's very impressed with Wilson and his whole deal here. Yeah. They say how he calls all of his relapses, he calls all of his coke you slow suicide.

So he's really saying all the right words that these people want to hear. He talks about how he used to snort cocaine in front of his young son when he was three years old. And Stanley Jr. here would say, why are you doing that, Dad? And he said, now he thinks about that and it breaks his heart and he doesn't know what he was thinking. So he's really coming to a, you know, just a complete... Coming to a, he's getting, he's looking... It a, you know, just a complete... Coming to a... he's looking...

It's a revelation of life. He's looking inside himself and trying to find the real Stanley. Things are going to be fine, right? So that he can win the Super Bowl. Things are going to be good, right? He wants a ring. Of course they're going to be okay. It's going to be okay.

Let's get on recovery here and in their own words here, in their own words on recovery, quote, I haven't met anyone yet who had a problem and got it the first time. The saddest about people in the system is that they make a hero, then they want to break him down. I don't know what, I get the gist of what he's saying, but he doesn't use words correctly at all, which is odd because he's a college graduate, but still. They didn't make a good class back then.

The guy that went to college for four years, not just a graduate, but like, he had to stick with it to stay on the football field. Absolutely. You have to get your grades. You have to keep your grade point average at a certain point. So he had to be studying. In the 70s, they could probably just... And he sounds like a fucking retard.

Back then, they could probably just... He sounds very stupid. He's very stupid. Now, also in this article, I must tell you guys about a tremendous sale at Woodbridge Jeep Eagle dealership in Woodbridge, Virginia. I love this so much. This is a, you can get a 1989 Jeep Comanche for $208.66 per month, which is not bad. Also, an 89 Jeep Wrangler, including the seven-year, 70,000-mile powertrain warranty. Not a bad warranty.

For only $10,399. Wow, you could own that car for $11,000. Not bad. Also, there's an ad in another thing that's not the car dealership, an electronics store, where VCRs are down to $199. Last episode, if you might know, in 1983, VCRs were $349. So they have gone down significantly in the five years since then. To less than $200. Less than $200.

But still, about the same price as a fucking car payment. Same thing. Brand new car payment. Also, soccer sign-ups are at the fire station for all boys and girls ages 5 to 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. on the 21st. So you might want to get down there, sign the kiddies up for soccer.

So, here we go. Day before the Super Bowl. It's Saturday, baby. Yeah. January 21st, 1989. Love that time. Oh, it's beautiful. Fucking, is it press. Day before the Super Bowl. It's Saturday, baby. Yeah. January 21st, 1989. Love that time. Oh, it's beautiful. Fucking, is it press day?

Imagine the electricity. No, this is it. No, this is it. Imagine the electricity for the players, and they're getting ready. In Miami, in South Beach. So, the team moves hotels now. The Bengals move from the Omni Hotel, which is further away. It's a nicer hotel, but it's further away from the stadium, to the Miami Plantation Holiday Inn.

What? It doesn't seem great. It looked decent from the picture, but a nicer holiday inn. It's closer to the stadium, and they said that nobody knew they were there, and it was for more privacy. Yeah. So they just moved the date. Nobody would be at that hotel.

That's the thing. No one would think they're there. And it's closer to the stadium, and they wanted to be able to get there. The team has an 8 p.m. meeting. Makes sense. They're just one more meeting, bring your playbook, let's go, let's talk, and say, okay wanted to be able to get there team has an 8 p.m meeting makes sense they're just one more meeting bring your playbook let's go let's talk and say okay we're going to meet tomorrow here and then we're going to go out and so everybody's on the same page in the game here right everything yeah so the players start to walk down out of their rooms all

the players kind of flood out at the same time yeah because they want to be about five minutes early uh stanley stops and goes oh hold on a sec i'll be right i'll meet you guys downstairs um i forgot my playbook so i gotta go because you can't go to the meeting without your playbook. So they're like, yeah, all right, cool. And he goes back to get his playbook. They all go down to the meeting. They go down to the big conference hall. The players gather.

Sam Weiss starts doing a head count. Now, the players are responsible for their roommates. Irresponsible for knowing where your roommate is. His roommate is Eddie Brown, the all-pro wide receiver. I don't know if you guys remember. He's a great player. He tells the coach, he's like,

Stanley will be right down. He forgot his playbook. He'll be right here. Don't worry about it. So they're like, all right, we'll wait. Let's wait until everybody's here. He's fucking Stanley.

He's 10 minutes late. So they wait 10 minutes. They wait 15 minutes. They're sitting there like, where is this fucking guy? So Weiss tells the team, hold on a minute. I'm going to carry on.

I'll be right back. I'm going to go see where this fucking idiot is. Weiss tells the team, hold on a minute. I'm going to carry on. I'll be right back. I'm going to go see where this fucking idiot is. Uh-oh. He takes off. Okay. Now, it's Weiss, and he knocks on the door,

and also they have the running back's coach, Jim Anderson. They go up. They knock on the door. Wilson won't answer. No. Teammates saw him go in there.

They know he's in there. They're like, where the fuck is this guy? He's not found anywhere else in the hotel. So they're like, where is this guy? they can't be he's not found anywhere else in the hotel so they're like where is this guy he won't answer the door they hear the tv blaring and they're blaring wow they're like what the fuck he won't answer the fucking door so like what do we do so they go and get their uh the head of security also they brought a guy they brought the cincinnati police chief with them to be their head

of police yeah lawrence whalen who's the chief of police in Cincinnati. Holy shit. He's going down to help the team out with security, whatever. So they get him, and they also get the owner of the place, Dave Katz. This guy, they get him. He lets him in with the key card. The owner of the Holiday Inn. The owner of the Holiday Inn, David Katz.

So he lets him in. David Katz sounds like a Florida hotel owner, so he really does. A Holiday Inn owner. Fucking palm trees on his shirt. hotel owner, so he really does. A Holiday Inn owner. Fucking palm trees on his shirt. It's clean. It's okay. It's not bad. Nobody poops in my pool. We just had it sprayed. We had it sprayed. There's no bugs. It's wonderful.

It's wonderful. It's wonderful. So they end up, he takes the key card. He takes the key card. He goes in. And they don't see him in the room. TV's blaring. There's shit everywhere. The lamp's askew. He takes the key card. He goes in and they don't see him in the room. TV's blaring. There's shit everywhere. A lamp's askew.

The bed's unmade. Oh shit. But he's not in the room. They're like where the fuck is he? So they look over to the bathroom. Bathroom door is locked.

They can't get in the bathroom door so they pick the lock with a coat hanger and a credit card they say and literally they break the door

in basically because they know he's in there. They're banging on the door. He won't answer it. Clearly he's in the bathroom. They break in and they find Wilson in the door in, basically. Because they know he's in there. They're banging on the door. He won't answer it. Clearly, he's in the bathroom. They break in, and they find Wilson in the bathroom. Uh-oh.

He's in bad shape. Let's just say that. Fucking 20 minutes is all it took. He is a fucking mess. There are crack pipes, and coke residue, and burned things, and used matches, and plastic with burnt shit in it. He's standing on the tub, freaking out. He's just staring at them.

He's got Coke all over his face. He literally has Coke all over his face. He looks like that Dave Chappelle character. Yeah. They said he's non-responsive. He's shivering, sweating. He's in a Coke haze like no other. He did so much, he doesn't even know where he is. He's just in a complete haze. He's rockingivering, sweating. He's like in a coke haze like no other. Like he did so much he doesn't even know where he is.

He's just in a complete haze. He's rocking back and forth. Like that's how bad it was. Loving life at this moment. Yeah, the hotel owner David Katz said, quote, he was sweating tremendously. It was just coming off his brow. It was incredible. He was just staring at us.

His eyes looked very big. He never said a word. So, I mean, they got him out of there they took him out of the room they said wailing the police chief like helped him up and brought him into the bedroom and sat him on the end of the bed and they said for like an hour he wasn't saying anything he was just staring forward he's shaking he's rocking he's sweating that's why is that fun that does not seem why does that see what that's my point like Why is that the fucking... What's the intrigue with that? It's insane, man.

Why does that sound great to anybody? The first thing that was said to him was the running backs coach, Jim Anderson, said, Why, Stanley, why? No. Why would you do this? It's the day before the Super Bowl. You're in our game plan. I don't understand the allure of that.

I don't either. So Sam Weish has to go back downstairs now. He's got a team meeting to conduct. He goes back downstairs and just says, Stanley relapsed. That's a hell of a way to put it. They all knew. I mean, that's what he is. Stanley's a ghost upstairs right now.

And he started crying, I said. He started crying. I don't know if it's half because he felt for the guy and half because he worked this hard to get to the Super Bowl. It's the night before. This guy's in his game plan and now he can't use them. Now he's fucking coked out of his mind. He's like, oh, shit. So the players didn't know if he was serious.

They thought he was fucking around because they said he would do weird things to motivate and shit like that. And then they said he started to sob. And they were like, oh, he's serious. Players were pissed. They were like flinging their playbooks across the room. Like, god damn it, son of a bitch, this fucking guy. You know, they were guy. They were pissed. They were pissed and they felt bad

and they didn't know how to feel about it because they're like, he's obviously got a problem and he's sick and he wouldn't like to be doing this. But on the other hand, we all worked hard and this dickhead screwed up for us. You have to go through a rollercoaster of emotions in a five minute period.

Yeah. When it's something you've worked so hard for. The Super Bowl is... No, they worked their lives for that. Two teams go there yeah each year that's it for them so stanley is taken from this hotel they want him away from the fucking team obviously they take him back to the omni where the team is headquartered like their you know executives are headquartered the ghost all the drug evidence is collected by whalen the cincinnati police chief

and turned over to the team to give to the league they're keeping this as a league a league matter a league matter no they keep that we'll see here in a second here uh now they bring him to the omni they put him in a room and they're like chill the fuck out yeah make sure he's got no coke i don't think they need to tell him that he's pretty chilled the fuck relax he he coke affects him the complete opposite the way it's supposed to affect you I think he's up normal And then when he does so much He's just in a haze It's a different thing

He's not like hey I want a little bit of Coke It's overtaken him That's crazy That's so much Coke So much Coke and crack too He was smoking crack He was doing Coke So he's in the Omni

What do you think? He's going to sleep it off? He's going to be reasonable the next morning? No Right? No No he's going to run No what he does is he climbs out the window And shimmies down the fire escape that's what he does

because he's fueled up on coke he's fueled up on coke he takes a cab he said now he's down there imagine this guy eyes wide as shit sweating in the street trying to flag down a cab he just he just scaled down a hotel wall and he's flags down a cab has the cab take him to Biscayne Boulevard where he buys liquor and checks into a hotel room where he then goes out and finds a couple of low, as he describes them in an article later, low-level Cuban drug dealers who then brought him cocaine and prostitutes for the next two days. Nothing but cocaine and prostitutes for two days now. He's just going crazy, buys crack, holes ups up in the room and it's just a crack. It's crack time, man. Doesn't watch the

Super Bowl the next day. Doesn't have anything to do with it. Doesn't contact the team. Just gone. Gone. And they suspended him anyway. He was suspended. He didn't even watch the game, he said. Never even watched it. Great game the Super Bowl was. By the way, I don't know if you guys remember this, but

a terrific game. San Francisco 49ers Cincinnati Bengals. First quarter grossest thing I've ever seen on a football field. Second. Joe Theismann was pretty gross. Yeah that was pretty gross. Tim Crumry defensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals in the first quarter. Broke his leg. I don't remember what the bone

like a shin bone. In half. Snapped it to where it looked like if you had a stump of a leg, and then you put a sock full of quarters on it and just swung it around. That's what it looked like. It was flopping back and forth like it wasn't connected by anything. It was disgusting. So go back and check that highlight out.

I'll be watching that on my way home tonight. It is horrible. But yeah, this game was super close. Problem also is it was a muddy field. Not muddy, but it was a wet field, and the turf was coming up in chunks. Yeah, it's Miami. And it was overwatered, and the turf's coming up in chunks. And neither Icky Woods or Brooks, their other two running backs,

were good in the rain, or good in the wet conditions like that. They're running styles. But guess who was? The guy that has four-wheel drive. Stanley Wilson. You betcha. Stanley Wilson was great in that. They were saying that, I mean, Sam Weiss.

Maybe they should take a little bit of coke. Yeah, maybe that would have helped him. Sam Weiss said that the coach here said that his running style was perfect for that kind of environment, and he would have been a big, big, big help in the game. And they would have probably won a Super Bowl. He says if we had Stanley, we won, because this game really does come down to a first down here. The game is 2016 is the final.

San Francisco beats Cincinnati on a last-minute drive by Joe Montana. Miracle drive down, throws a touchdown pass to John Taylor. Yep, that's the one. And it was literally Cincinnati could not get a first down at the end to shut San Francisco out. They didn't get the first down. They had to give it back to San Fran. They marched down the field.

So if they had a guy who maybe could pick up a short yardage first down. A guy that maybe averages four yards a carry. A guy who maybe is like a fullback who's good in wet conditions. That might have been the end of the game. And they are cursed ever since. They haven't made the Super Bowl yet. They haven't fucking bounced out of the playoffs all the time. Now, we have an interesting thing in the NFL drug testing policy for the Super Bowl of 88.

In 1988, they changed their policy. 1987, the teams tested for themselves, basically. So some of the owners were like, hey, I don't trust that Al Davis is going to make sure the players aren't on top. I don't trust Al Davis for fuck. We don't trust that some of their player owners aren't gonna davis is dead now i still don't trust that motherfucker you don't know if they're gonna need a guy and whatever so for the super bowl game this year they go back to the old system of that because in 88 they switched to it's all league control now for the contractor do it right yeah for the super bowl though they go back to 1987,

and they say everybody tests themselves, right? So they send the responsibility for testing the Bengals player, went to the team trainer, Marv Pollins. Uh-oh. Okay. Now, former Cincinnati Bengal linebacker Emmanuel King said that during his test, Pollins told him, quote, bring me back some piss.

I don't care whose it is which i have never been told by a man bring me back some piss that's amazing that sounds like the best out of context quote ever sounds like a guy that just needs a job and he's like just bring me some piss bring me back some piss i don't care whose it is i'll test anybody's now pollens denies that this happened he said it's quote not true no way says that he watched king produce his specimen which sounds worse than bring me back some piss produce a specimen so yeah it's it's that's but they're saying that this was like a a thing with them though like the drug testing was shady and maybe

it wasn't all that good or maybe wilson could have slipped a shitty test yeah somebody else's and or some of the other players also because we're going to talk about what wilson says here now because everybody wants a ring that's why yeah so the next day the league goes public about wilson because before that sam weiss when they said hey where's wilson and how come he's not eligible they just he just said no comment he wouldn't during before the game he'd, I have a game to plan for, no comment right now. I'm not going to talk about what happened with Stanley. They wouldn't say anything about it. Wow.

So now he's going to say something about it. They want to know. He's going to disclose it. They won't give details. They just said that there's a possible suspension. He was ineligible for the Super Bowl. We won't give details. Commissioner Pete Rozelle, who's a silver-haired scumbag as they come.

Actually, he's a comb-over scumbag, so we'll give him silver-haired for now. He says, quote, we are pledged to confidentiality. You can be certain I will meet with him, but I do not know when. That's all we can say because of confidentiality. Also, too, we don't know where the fuck he is. Also, too, we can't find him. And it's true. If you guys know where any hookers are, tell us where they are so we can maybe...

At this point, he's in a Miami hotel room fucking hookers and smoking crack and getting Cuban drug dealers to bring him more. So the NFL spokesman, Joe Brown, would only say that it stemmed from Wilson missing a team meeting. That's what he would say. And so the press had no idea at this point. Bengals president John Sawyer said, quote, You wonder what the future of this fellow is. Historically, you know, it's not successful, but you always hope.

Also the future of your organization. Pretty sure he's just going to keep fucking up. Yeah. You never know. Let's keep an open mind here. What do you say? Wow. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

So January 23rd, same day, it's the Monday after the Super Bowl, Wilson contacts his lawyer, James Kidney, and just tells the secretary, doesn't even talk to the lawyer, just talks to the secretary and tells her, you have to let my family know I'm alive and hangs up. This is Stanley Wilson. Look, you've got to let my family know I'm alive, all right? All right, click, bye.

That was it. Just let my mom know I ain't dead. They're in Miami still. His whole family was there to watch the game. They don't even know where the fuck he is. So not only did he leave his team in the lurch, his mom and dad and his cousins and all these people are like we don't know where the fuck this guy is man so what's going on sounds like somebody just came out of a cocaze and was like what day is it later on that monday it's the super bowl yeah did i miss

the soup shit my parents think i played in that game they were at the game they know i wasn't there somebody call and let them know yeah am i Am I dead? I'm not dead? Okay, call them and tell them. So Sam Weish says, quote, Stanley Wilson didn't screw up. The cocaine overtook him. And I don't know, but that's our, I don't know, but that our country is going to hell in a handbasket and we don't know it. This is a symptom of it. I still love the man. Football is over for him now, but the rest of his life is not i'm still pulling for his life so yeah it sounds like he did screw up yeah he did somebody that has some care for for the man though he does he really does he has care for him and i think he just saw him as like this kind of a sad case yeah he feels bad for him at this point he leaves here and goes actually

meets up with his parents in miami and his parents take him and fly him back to L.A. and check him into a rehab center. Good call. So he goes right from there to rehab in L.A. And, you know, at this point, I still feel bad for him. Oh, yeah. Even though, I mean, he's fucked up enough to where you shouldn't feel bad for him.

No, I feel bad for him. But he missed out on the game, on the reason he plays football. He screwed that up. But I just love how he had a huge press conference and then the next day did that. That's what I mean. Anytime things are going well,

that means it's going to go bad quickly. He can feel time running out. Chris Collinsworth, another quote from him. He said, Stanley Wilson is as tough as any human being I've ever known in my life. And if it can whip Stanley Wilson, it's going to whip everybody else too.

Wow. So basically he's saying, cocaine will fuck you up. Stay away from it. Cocaine will get you. Now, Wilson, this January 27, 1989, Wilson's lawyer, Reggie Turner, another one of his lawyers, says that the Bengals may have contributed to his pre-Super Bowl meltdown.

Says that they failed to closely monitor his, quote, non-football activities. So they're saying they knew what they had and they didn't keep an eye on him. Which, over the course of the season, they probably kept an eye on him the first month or two. And they were like, well, he's not doing coke. Fuck it, he's fine. He's an adult. And plus, it's the Super Bowl. So they were like, we made it to here.

No one's going to do anything that stupid and screw up the Super Bowl. It's Saturday. Nobody will fuck this up. No. So Turner says that he didn't totally blame the team. But he says that they didn't follow certain aspects of his rehab. Wilson was supposed to check in with team running backs coach every time he did a quote non-football activity and he didn't and they didn't follow up on hey coach smoking some crack okay that'll kind of show

i'm gonna go turn myself into a zombie in room 23 come on room 22 i borrowed dance so january 30th 1989 wil Wilson goes to see James Kidney, his lawyer here that he called and told his family he's alive. He sobs and tells him how he messed up and he let his family and his team down and his five-year-old son down. He was the biggest piece of shit in the world.

And then he gave him a black game-worn jersey of his and left. And Kidney was like, okay. Didn't ask him to do anything. He just came in, sobbed, told him how bad he fucked up, gave him a jersey and took off. I don't know what. He was like, all right then.

Do I owe you a Coke now? Is this a Mean Joe Green reenactment? By the way, still the same Jaguar he pulled up in. It says the same Jaguar. No shit. Has the shit smeared on the side of it. Absolutely. Ran out of toilet paper.

James Kidney says something here that should be our charter this is just beautiful it's what crime and sports is all about james kidney gets it he says he does man he gets what we're doing here i hope he's a listener here's our mission statement he says quote stanley had a lot of things given to him athletes think god gave them the ability to get away with everything even when he was down stanley still had things given to him so he's saying beautiful isn't it beautiful like they the ability to get away with everything. Even when he was down, Stanley still had things given to him. Oh, that's beautiful. Isn't it beautiful? Like, they think they can get away with anything,

and even when they're fucking up, people are still helping. They're still a silver-haired, middle-aged white man that sees a dollar that he can squeeze out of. Right around the corner. Right around the corner. So January 31st, 1989. Do you remember that disorderly pissing in the street thing? We found that out.

90 days in jail. Wilson is sentenced into Campbell County, Kentucky court for disorderly conduct. District Judge Daniel Guiduli gave Wilson a quote, unspecified sentence. Which means that basically he enters into

the diversion program, which basically it's one of those, if you don't get in any more trouble, it'll be off your record. But if you fuck up we're going to bring it back to court. Go clean the highway. What are those? Not even. Just don't get in trouble.

Really? It's basically just it's a dismissal based on you not getting in any more trouble for a certain amount of time. That's despicable. I did that when I was 16 and I got in a fight.

Seriously, I had the same thing. Disorderly conduct and it was the same thing. So me and Stanley Wilson have had the same deal. I didn't have a history of cocaine abuse and didn't blow my team's chances for the Super Bowl. I just punched a kid in high school. Different, but whatever. So he ends up also with a $50 fine and a $57.50 in court costs he's got to pay.

Those Kentucky court costs, boy. Deep. Deep. Deep stuff. Pay the co-pay for my cousin's dental bill and you're out of here. That's terrible. So February 2nd, 1989,

Wilson is notified that he will not receive his share of the Super Bowl losers thing. Each player on the losing Super Bowl team gets, back then it was $18,000, and Wilson will not be receiving his, considering he was in a cocaine haze. I hope Sam Weiss kept it. I hope they just split it amongst all the rest of the players. Yeah, everybody gets $500

or $600. Good God. So now February 5th, 1989, we're back to, we're going to talk about the drug evidence here. Cincinnati City Manager Scott Johnson gives Police Chief Lawrence Whalen, he's the security guy that went down there a written reprimand for his handling of possible drug evidence in the super bowl yeah reprimand states that whalen had possible evidence of a crime which was not turned over to the appropriate police authorities so

they said hey asshole you're a cop you're not a silver-haired, middle-aged white coach. Not a cop? He's the police chief. He said that he doesn't have, he said he gave it to the NFL, not the cops. And he said that he didn't have any authority down there. He's like, it's in Miami. I'm not the police chief down there. Yeah, but he could have given it to the Miami cops is what they're saying. Whalen said he just handed it to the NFL.

I don't know. He said, I'm not going to arrest them. Because they said, why didn't you arrest them then? He goes, I'm not a cop down there. They said, why didn't you take them to the cops? I'm the head of security. That's not what the team wanted. Right. Because the team didn't want it in the papers the day of the Super Bowl.

Because the people, they were paying me to monitor. You see this hair? See what color this is? This is silver, baby. Pure. Pure silver. You have no idea. They're not paying me to be a cop.

They're paying me to monitor everybody and give them whatever I find. And that's what I did. So city manager Scott Johnson says, quote, All I have found is that there is a possibility of a crime. I believe that any citizen has an obligation to turn over possible evidence. And Whalen is no longer allowed to travel with the team per city rule. That's part of his reprimand. No more fun for you.

You can't go fuck off with the team anymore. You have to be a real cop and stay here and deal with shit. He's the police chief, for fuck's sake. Now, two days later, this is all in a month. I mean, this has happened, this is February 7th we are now. It's two weeks since the Super Bowl, 1989. Wilson is telling the press that he has a meeting scheduled with the league to try to get reinstated the league denies anything like that they're like

what the fuck is he talking about basically he's just out yapping article about uh there's also two in this this is great there's an article next to this article in this in this paper from 1989 about a huge prostitution bust in Cleveland where several Cleveland athletes were named by the madam in her book, including Bernie Kosar and our buddy Mel Hall. Yes. Go back and listen to Mel Hall, the worst man alive, question mark.

I don't remember what episode it was, but listen to Mel Hall. He's a fucking mess. He was named too. He was named too. So now, February 1989, Wilson sells his story to Penthouse Magazine. What?

The magazine's unsure when it will be released, but Wilson promises to name at least three other players that were involved with him on January 21st and basically just spill the beans. It's an expose on the team and the league and the fact that nobody gives a shit about the goal. On the goings on and behind closed doors and people are questioned saying this is bullshit all the players right

away everybody on the team was like no no if he names me it's bullshit they're all icky woods literally came out and was like i know he's gonna name me but it ain't true he literally said that i know he's gonna name me but i'm not sure and i might sue him if he does like hilarious it was funny that stinks of of larry fl. That's the kind of guy Larry is where he's just like, I'll give you money if you do something dirty. But he also wants true dirt, Larry Flint. He is like that too.

He likes hypocrisy. He likes to expose hypocrisy. I think that's what he's doing. He's not into getting sued, but if it's true, he'll take it. And they do end up holding the story for a little bit too. Really? I'll tell you how it keeps going on and on.

But we have an in their own words on this, on the story, and everyone's saying he's a liar. He says, quote, because I'm chemically dependent doesn't make me bad or incapable of being honest. I know I'm being honest. The players involved know. I'm comfortable with myself. Fuck you. I know who was snorting coke next to me, god damn it. Shit.

Now, Reggie Turner here, his lawyer, says that says that quote other people are involved for me to say other players strikes a negative chord but that's the reality they're like hey look this is the deal here and reggie was the guy who helped him sell reggie turner's a guy who helped him sell the story to penthouse uh the rumors are between 200 and 250 000 he got for this wow fucking huge yeah it's a a season for this guy. Fuck your $18,000 game check. And he needs it, man. So March 1st, he's checked into another drug rehab in Inglewood. Now he came out, went back in.

Now the Bengals on April 24th, 1989, they put in a big press thing out where they deny Wilson's claims officially. And they're like, because the contents of the article start to get leaked out into the world a little bit. And so GM Paul Brown, silver-haired, middle-aged white man, number one, says, quote, this is the first time I've heard of anything about it. So what? It's the case of a guy who has ruined his life.

And if you want to ruin someone else's, I don't put much credit in an agent who's trying to sell someone's story. So he's like, they're just full of shit. My players are all clean except for that one. We rooted him right out bullshit so May 15th you didn't root him out by the way

he rooted himself out yeah it wasn't too hard to find he turned himself into a powder zombie in a fucking holiday inn and he's saying like everyone there was other people on coke

and on that night and the Weish's all the Bengals officials are like everybody else made it to the meeting nobody seemed high but maybe if they knew

how to not do all the coke and how to do a key bump and go it to the meeting. Nobody seemed high. But maybe if they knew how to not do all the coke. And how to do a key bump and go down to the meeting. We'll get into that also. So May 15, 1989, Wilson is suspended for life by the NFL. For life. He is allowed to apply for reinstatement after one year. But for right now, it's a life suspension. League spokesman Joe Brown said, quote, in order of wilson's history the permanent ban

cannot come as a surprise to him yeah which yeah he had to have expected this shit uh may 17th two days later there's a big articles everywhere called quote bengals back ban of ex-teammate and they're saying the teammates are great with it pete roselle sent a letter to wilson saying that you know this is a permanent ban and he's fucked and he knew what he, he knew, like he said he knew what he was getting into. He knew that the conditions of being reinstated to begin with on this round where you fuck up at all, you're out for life, blah, blah, blah. Wilson says that he shouldn't be banned because no one tested him after the incident so they don't know that he was actually on drugs.

That's his, that's his story. He's like, they came in, there's crack rocks, crack fights, I got cocaine all over my face and I'm sweating and shivering and I went on a three-day crack binge, but you can't prove that. No one took my piss. That is amazing. Now, Marv Pons is like, just bring me somebody's piss, I'll test it, I don't care. That's amazing.

Roselle says that since he's been to rehab twice since January, that's pretty much enough proof right there for him. And they said we didn't need, that part of the thing was we don't need a drug test, any evidence of you falling off the wagon and we're shit canning you and going to rehab twice in six months is good evidence.

That's a good point. Yeah. They said the original ban was lifted, quote, under conditions with which both you and your representative explicitly acknowledged and agreed to. Yes. You knew what you were doing.

You fucked up anyway. Yep. You can't take a hike doing. You fucked up anyway. Yep. Take a hike now. So same article here. Icky Woods, this is the time where Icky Woods says, I know Wilson's going to name me as a participant, and I didn't do it. And he says, he's got a quote about the Lifetime Band, too.

This is funny, because he's like, sounds like he's got to be on the team. He doesn't want to say too much shit, because he doesn't want Wilson to know. It's very touchy with the situation Woods is in here. He says about the Lifetime Band, quote, i'm not saying i'm glad about it but i do feel the man is getting what he deserved the league and the bangles gave him a lot of chances to straighten up but he's obviously very sick maybe this will help him get back on track to a complete life or maybe not or maybe not and let's just go ahead on a limb here we'll say it

didn't may 27th 1989 he gets out of, and now he ends up going to Phoenix, where he lives in Phoenix, continues his rehab in some outpatient thing, and he's bagging groceries for a living. Holy shit. So this is five months after he should have been the star of the Super Bowl, or a star of the Super Bowl. He was bagging groceries. At least working at an Abco or some shit somewhere.

He had to snort a shitload of cocaine and smoke a bunch of crack. May 27th, 1989, the Bengals tell their players that in case there's any legal fallout from the Wilson story, if you guys are investigated by police, we're not getting you lawyers.

You can pay for your own lawyers. Because they went to the team. Figure it out yourself. And were like, hey, this asshole's a guy you hired and he's doing this. Pay for our lawyers in case there's anything from that.

And they went, no. Nope. Paul Brown is notoriously the cheapest man in football, by the way. The owner of the Bengals is the cheapest, cheapest man in football. He's a hard man, too. They went for years and years and years. They begged and begged and begged for an indoor practice facility. They were practicing outside like it was the 40s.

Awful. And finally, they were shamed into it when the high school across the street built one for themselves they're like the goddamn high school has one come on we're a professional fucking team we're for real so on july 18th 1989 penthouse announces that the wilson article will not be in the september issue as they plan they do still plan to publish it we'll get back to that later also they talked to the uh the writer of the article he's a pulitzer two-time pulitzer award-winning guy he says that in his mind wilson seemed very believable he's like he was lucid he had details and as a reporter that's been dealing with people for a long time i believed him wow and you know

what i fucking believe him too yeah we'll get into in a few minutes what it is but i believe him, too. Yeah. We'll get into it in a few minutes what it is, but I believe him, too. He claims that, we're getting into it right now, January 1990, all the details leak out because Penthouse is going to publish the story in February of 1990. Awesome. So January of 1990, it's all out. Wilson claims that he and cornerback Darryl Smith, who was a former Oklahoma alumni, so they knew each other, and defensive back Ricky Dixon, they were the ones doing the cook. Says that it was all supplied by all-pro wide receiver Eddie Brown, who is a Miami native and went to the University of Miami.

Oh, shit. He basically said that he found guys were doing some cook. Says that he found Darryl Smith was doing a little coke, and they had coke, and Darryl was telling him, hey, chill, chill, just do a little bit. The night before the game, just do a little bit. And he said he didn't listen. He just went down right through it. Did it all then.

He said basically when he was coming down the team plane, there was a few guys on the team that had some coke, and he didn't know about it. He said they were keeping it a secret from him because he's a former they know addict and they're like let's not get stanley involved we will go off the deep end and shimmy down the fire escape end up in a motel room for two days with cuban whores you know they went he'll miss the super bowl man don't show that shit so eventually i guess he found out what was up and he got together with these two players and they all pitched in eight hundred dollars apparently to give to give to Eddie Brown and Eddie Brown went and got him a bunch of cocaine. Oh my god. They were going to have a party here in Miami. That was the plan. That's a hell of a party. And these players are denying it like crazy. You

have an in their own words here about these players. He says in their own words quote I use drugs with Daryl Smith and Ricky Dixon. I have not heard their statements saying I'm a liar. They're players in the NFL, of course. They're not going to endorse my situation. Of course they're not going to endorse this situation. They're in the league and they're saying, we did lots of coke. They did little enough coke to where they can still play the next day. That's the difference.

They knew they had a drug test Friday, and they didn't even have to really pass that because this guy's going, I don't care whose piss you bring me. Go out. You go out, you get a toddler. I have him pissing his jaw. Bring it to me. I'll say it's fine. The good news is they are still in every clip of Joe Montana winning that Super Bowl. Oh, absolutely. There's still jerseys and tiger helmets all over that field.

Trail of crack rocks behind them. So Tuesday, January 9, 1990, Wilson holds a press conference. Good things happen when he holds press conferences, right? A couple days. I can't wait. So Wilson holds a press conference in New York to talk about Penthouse releasing the contents of the story to the public. He tells everyone he is drug-free. He's doing great.

Literally, he's like, I'm drug-free. I'm doing fine now. I've been to a bunch of rehabs. he's like i'm drug free i'm doing fine now i've been to a bunch of rehabs reiterates that everything in the story is true and don't think it's not and i'm good now yeah and read my story and everything's cool that's january 9th so friday that was tuesday friday january 12th when you break it down into that small of time increments you know there's trouble believable january 12th 1990 three days later wilson is arrested He holds a press conference. Just wait with the handcuffs because he's about to be arrested.

Just follow him. In Gardenia, California, for scuffling with police officers and possessing drug paraphernalia. Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy George Dukanlambier, that's a good name, said that there was no evidence that Wilson was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he was arrested they didn't have evidence i didn't think they just blood test people back then uh he was stopped in his car which is a 89 chrysler lebaron by the way that's a car he got rid of the jaguar he has slidden so far he's got a fucking avon lady's car yeah he was a convertible i hope not that's even worse since they've all broken and ready and fallen down but it was only a year old yeah year old so it might have been a nice little

le baron at this point it's the white one with the red fucking the maroon interior so ugly jerry kroll juice just in a puddle on the back of his seat there also now they catch him in the middle he's in the middle of the intersection parked parked. Not at the light, just in the intersection, parked. Officers approach his car and go, what the fuck? And they find a weed pipe, a marijuana pipe, between the two front seats sitting there. He's being charged with resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia.

They should have been happy it was weed. Yeah. They should have been like, I am right now stanley wilson is that a weed pipe hey good for you buddy carry on you hey you know what there you go you guys i'd like to see you cleaning it up good for you i got some from a kid earlier that i that i took off some kitty out of possession charge you take this and smoke it in good health probably some dirt weed it's not give it a try and give me a shout. Is that not cocaine? Good for you. Good for you, man.

Hey, is that not cocaine? Now, upon... Is it not cocaine? Is that not a crack pipe? We are so proud of you. Now, upon hearing these charges... There's security in the city. Fuck, might as well.

Upon hearing these charges, Wilson's longtime attorney, Reggie Turner, who handled his business affairs, he handled the penthouse deal, says he's going to drop him as a client after this. He's like, this is too much.

Said that the resisting arrest could be tough for Wilson if he was violent, but the police end up saying he just struggled. He wasn't violent. He was just like, hey, leave me alone.

Don't cuff me. Don't arrest me. Didn't take a swing at him. Reggie Turner here, silver-haired, middle-aged white man, number three, says, quote,

this is just another series of problems with Stanley and at some point you have to draw the line. I don't know what else our office can do for stanley i'm a business manager he has no business yeah he has no business no money besides yeah he's parking in intersections with a christian baron what the fuck am i getting and you know what he probably was like i can't get any coke i've got a little bit of money i'm gonna get some weed and then he did it and And then he was like, shit,

this shit makes me sleepy, man. And just put it in park. Knotted off. He's like, this ain't coke. This ain't no good. Some time goes by on this.

That's, that ends up getting, getting squashed here a little bit. And November 3rd, 1990. So we're going to, a few months go by. We're in no major incidents.

Wilson is arrested in California after officers identified his car as the one described by an October 10th purse snatching victim. So now he's snatching purses. This is sad. He's released two days later after police say they lacked the evidence to proceed. They had to charge him and release him. Wilson said that he lent his car to someone but couldn't remember who. That's how he got off. It's a damn good excuse.

It's his car, but he's like, I wasn't driving it. And they're like, well, who was it? He's like, I don't remember. You know how much cocaine

I do? Shit. I don't know. It's a Chrysler LeBaron. I can give a fuck about that car. I was giving it to people. You want to borrow it?

Yeah, you can borrow it. You want to rob somebody? You got some errands? Here's the keys. Yeah, what the hell? You go out and get some groceries. No problem.

So December 13th, 1990, this is a month later wilson is found and arrested by detectives inside an abandoned long beach california house this is a mess they were investigating a robbery and tipped off by an informant that this was where the robbery suspect was police said that the house they found found him inside was quote where drug users where drug users crawl into sleep it's a it's a flop house it's a vacant abandoned house arresting detectives dave fultz and kevin nelson said that wilson didn't resist at all and consented to his search detective nelson also said that quote he admitted to a burglary in the area on wednesday evening so now he's he's

fucking admitting to things don Don't do that. No, he's saying, look, I don't know. Anywhere is better than where I'm staying right now. I don't know, man. This is a mess. He looked around and was like, eh, jail's comfortable.

Yeah, there's a bed there. Let's go there. So he'll be held in Long Beach Jail here while they complete the burglary investigation. Search of Wilson yielded, this is the investigation, yielded a purse that zipped up. It's not his, obviously, with a bunch of jewelry.

The items included a watch and a bracelet with the name, quote, Meredith inscribed in it. Also a ski jacket that fit the description of a stolen item from a Wednesday robbery where the victim in that case was named Meredith. You guessed it. So we connected him there. That's a pretty good solid connection. Boom case was named Meredith. You guessed it. So we connected him there. That's a pretty good solid connection. Lock him up.

Police Sergeant Robert Gillespie said, this is sad, quote, he's in bad shape. He's run down to the max. He was at the bottom of the pit in a place filled with trash and hypodermic needles. It's almost like he was asking someone to grab him by the neck and shake it out of him. Almost like he was asking for help. That's what it and shake it out of him almost like he was asking for help that's what it seems like he's like yeah i'm caught just i don't even fucking know anymore i don't even i don't even have the little baron anymore i left it to somebody forgot who it was and they just left i don't even know i don't know what happened man

so uh december 13th they also same day they say that he's being investigated for one strong arm robbery and two street robberies where the suspect robbed with a handgun. Now he's involving weapons. Oh, my God. He's being investigated for that. He told officers that he used to sniff coke, but then he's been smoking crack for the last couple of years. Yeah. And he can't stop, basically.

He's a mess. He's being held in lieu of $7,500 bail. Ends up making bail, getting out somehow. And December 24th, he doesn't show up for and december 24th he doesn't show up for his hearing no he doesn't show up at all christmas eve obviously he clearly sold the lebaron for the for the bond bet your ass man these are felony burglary charges too so at december 29th a warrant is issued for his arrest and uh he was uh he was out on the bond but now warrants out for his arrest now so febru 9th, 1991, a couple months later,

Municipal Court Judge Tracy Moreno orders Wilson to stand trial for this burglary. Now that they get him back, actually, they find him following a preliminary hearing. Trial date set for February 22nd. He's being charged with stealing Meredith's jewelry and a VCR. And he said he was going to sell the items to buy crack. You betcha. Our most 80s, it's back again, Eddie Johnson part two, the most 80s crime you could possibly commit, stealing a VCR to sell it to buy crack.

That is as 80s as you get. As 80s as you get. Amazing. In-fucking-credible. How do we find another another sports athlete sports athlete another criminal athlete that did the same fucking crime if you do it in a members only jacket it's a trifecta you just win it all so yeah that's it's fifteen hundred dollars worth of shit basically it wasn't even that much shit and you don't get two hundred dollars on his

vcr yeah you don't get $1,500 for that on the street. No, no, no, no, no, no. You get $300. The police say he pried the door, the poem's door open, so he's being aggressive. And despite his initial not showing up,

this is what I don't understand. He initially doesn't show up for the trial. He's now released on his own recognizance pending trial. What fucking recognizance? What are they doing? What is he doing? He didn't show up for the last year.

What is the court doing? He faces a maximum of six years in prison if convicted. Six years is a lot. He's got reason to run. Or just go on your own. The state's attorney says they're really seeking two years of prison. They want Stanley to go away for two years. May 7, 1991, he

pleads guilty to the burglary charges. He's trying to get this out of the way. So the next month for sentencing, on June 20, he's sentenced to the felony burglary case, receives a four-year suspended sentence. What? Suspended. All of it? They kill dads for him.

Yep. All of it's suspended. It's really his first offense. He has the public disorderly conduct. He's nearly never been arrested. I mean, if this was in the NFL, they would have hung him. But for the law, actually, they're like, really, isn't that much? And he's a mess, and they cite his drug use and the fact he's been to rehab 300 times

and his downfall. And I'm sure he gave him a sob story about the Super Bowl. I miss the Super Bowl, man. I understand. I'm fucked up him a sob story about the Super Bowl yeah I missed the Super Bowl I understand I'm fucked up please help me so the early 90s he would call James kidney there his lawyer that he gave the jersey to to try to get work maybe in the Canadian Football League

because as we've seen from previous episodes they'll take murderers out there they don't give a shit or or this is the best with the Canadian Football League or quote maybe with the Raiders which I think is great. They're like, I don't know, Canada will take me. Maybe the Raiders?

I don't know. Who knows? That's the island of this choice. I'll fit in with those criminals. Yeah. They'll take anybody. Shit. Amazing.

And Kidney said that he never asked him for any money. Wilson never asked for any money, even though that Kidney knew Wilson was broke. Yeah. asked him for any money. Wilson never asked for any money even though that kid knew Wilson was broke and that he knows he's broke because the last money he made in 88, his 88 playoff game checks, went to pay off debts. So he's like,

he's had no money outside of that penthouse article and this was like, you know, that was going fast. He's a crackhead. He's a little baron. He's a fucking mess.

So 1994-ish through about 98-ish, he's working construction. So it just so sad it's tough man it's tough for him life is getting hard for him um and it's hard through this whole thing until uh it's about to get a little bit harder because january 24th 1998 wilson robs a house in beverly hills oh no this is a big one. This is a different kind of thing. This is the man whose home it was he was in rehab with a while back. And the man was nice to him.

And the man had hired him to do some landscaping work for him the year before. Ah, so he showed him where he lived. So he'd been to the house. This was like a year before. So he comes back a year later, and he sold $130,000 worth of shit. Oh, my God. This wasn't like a little, he didn't walk in and steal a bracelet with Meredith on it and walk out. He stole camera equipment, video equipment, expensive jewelry.

This is a very expensive Beverly Hills home. It's a really nice Beverly Hills home. Clearly, I'm trying to think right now, if I have $130,000 worth of shit in my house, there's no way. No fucking way. No, he'd have to steal the copper out of the walls too. Yeah, he'd have to fucking strip it bare. He'd have to take the house, put it on a flatbed, and drive it the fuck away to get $130,000 out of me. That's what I'm saying, $130,000.

So that's a lot of jewelry and camera equipment and video equipment. Unbelievable. I mean, that's a lot, man. In 98? In 98, yeah. Yeah, you'd have to take. Now.

Good God. He's arrested for that and he ends up getting out because he gets married in 98. He marries a woman named Kim Granham who is a college

graduate. She went to I think Bowling Green. She's a dummy. She's a college graduate. Seems like a decent person.

I don't know what she's thinking with this fucking idiot but she marries him. Gets pregnant right away. So they're having a she's thinking with this fucking idiot. But she marries him. Gets pregnant right away. So they're having a... She's getting big. She's got to get that $130,000.

She's going for that $130,000 money. Well, now he's in trouble with the law. She married him while she's in... This woman's awesome, by the way. This woman is hardcore. Really? She's badass. She sticks with him.

She seems dumb as fuck. Now, 1999, this hasn't come to fruition yet. It's still pending. Chris Collinsworth does a piece for him for the Fox Super Bowl pregame show. What? Yeah, the 98 Super Bowl. Okay, 10 years later. Which was

the Broncos. Broncos and Falcons. Falcons. Broncos Packers. Packers, yeah. Broncos Packers. So he does a piece with them. It says it was really hard to get a hold of him. Like, Wilson blew off the interview, blew off an interview the first time with the producer, and then he finally got to him.

And Collinsworth said that after talking to him, he was more mad at the people that gave him the drugs than he was at him. He basically said, Collinsworth really seems to like the guy. And he just felt bad for him after this whole thing. Collinsworth is much kinder to him than everybody else. Because he's his teammate.

No, no, even of all his old teammates. Most of them were like, hey, fuck that guy. Really? A lot of them now are like, hey, we know. Because now we know a little bit more about drug addiction and shit like that. But Collinsworth really, yeah, he went out and he forced this piece because he wanted to talk about Stanley Wilson. He felt bad for him.

He wanted to know where he was. When they do the team camaraderie, the defense hangs out with the defense. Yes. The offensive line hangs out with the offensive line. It's very rare that the... To me, yeah. So the quarterback, the wide receivers, the running backs, those guys are always together. So Collinsworth probably bonded with him pretty heavily.

Well, plus he said he was our bully. He brought an edge. He's our goon. Collinsworth did not look like a football player. He was a skinny. Looked very much like you could break him if you hit him. He still does. So he was probably the goon that went and protected Chris Collinsworth. Like, hey, you take a cheap shot at Collinsworth,

I'm going to be blocking you on the next play. And I'm fueled up on coke, motherfucker. I am coke-fueled. So now at this point during the piece, they talk about his wife. They talk about his seven-month pregnant wife on the piece. It's a redemption piece type of thing. Now meanwhile, he's still got all his shit hanging over him.

They talk about he was arrested last year and he's still pending. So they're like, who knows? But it's a fluff piece on Wilson. But Chris puts all of it on the table yeah he does he does now 1999 they talk in this piece they talk to james kidney our jersey receiving friend and he said he received a christmas card from wilson last year that's sweet he said quote real religious oh shit he is way god he is way into god now boy and for the rest of his days here wilson wrote in the card quote god is on my side god is in your spirit oh which does not say merry christmas threatening

that doesn't say merry christmas at all i don't i don't hear yay be festive at that point so now march 20th 1999 he is convicted of the uh of the felony burglary here again. Now, we go to sentencing. He's convicted of it, and this is rough. Prosecutors are trying to get him sentenced under the three strikes law because he has two burglary. Those were two burglaries in the last case he pleaded guilty to. Now, in this case, we have a statement from Wilson that is just describing,

it's a siren call to all the silver-haired middle-aged white men out there. He describes them exactly. Puts the silver-haired white man lamp in the sky. And this is it right here, guys. In their own words, quote, All my life there was someone taking care of me. An agent was paying my bills or my parents. Someone was always covering me more than they should have.

Yes, exactly. Yeah, no doubt. That's his life. It's good that he got, kidney was right back in the day there. So Superior Court Judge Frank L. Johnson eliminates one of the strikes because he said they were both under the same thing. And also, too, I think he feels for Wilson here a little bit because he said he cites Wilson's addiction and mental problems

because during this whole trial, it came out that he was diagnosed bipolar by the court state psychiatrist. So they're saying he's self-medicated. Saying he's a mess, basically. He's bipolar. He's got a horrible addiction problem. Life in prison isn't what we need for this guy.

He's a disaster. And they're not wrong because they say our prison system is overcrowded with non-violent repeat offenders. And he's generally... And that's what he is. He's non-violent. I mean, granted Stanley's out robbing people

but he's not robbing... None of these sound like he hurt anybody. He's not beating people or raping people. He's not Eddie Johnson-ing anything. Because I need to get high. I need crack. Don't you understand? So his lawyer, H. Give me a VCR.

H. Clay Jackie, his lawyer, which sounds very silver-haired, cited his bipolar disorder, his mental problems. He called Wilson, quote, a very good man with a very big mental problem. No doubt. No shit. More than a dozen family and friends came to the sentencing to support Wilson, to show support, show that he had people. That came to the sentencing to support Wilson, to show support, show they had people. That's important in sentencing.

Lawyers always tell them a judge will give leniency based on if you have people there that are supporting you. Because that's when you get out, you're going to have a support system. You'll be more likely to be successful. So they do that. So it's a good thing, actually. I don't know if they made signs saying go steamer or not for court. I'm not sure. Not positive about that. That would about that. I can't.

That would be awesome. I can't. Somebody holding up a fucking vacuum a whole Stanley steamer. I can't confirm nor deny that. A couture mat. A couture mat. Including one of his friends here and family friend is the Reverend William T. Irvin. He sounds like a black

reverend. He says quote, Wilson has good character. He comes from a family of good character. If he's given another chance at this point, he can run for the goal line. What? No. What the fuck does that even mean? He can run for the goal line.

No, he can't. I'm going to make metaphors of him. What a fucking idiot. So Wilson, in his final plea to the judge, here says, before sentencing, says, in their own words, quote, when I left prison the first time I truly believed I wasn't

ever going to do it anymore. I believed it in my heart. I've always been against all the things that I've been charged with. It's so strange. The person sitting here is not the person who did these things. All I'm asking you to do is what you have the power to do. He's like, give me a break. Please. I'm a mess. I swear I'm asking you to do is what you have the power to do. He's like, give me a break.

Please. I'm a mess. I swear I'm good now. I swear I'm good now. So during this now, while this is happening, they said Wilson sobbed pretty much through the entire hearing. And finally, Judge Frank Johnson gives sentencing. And he does not give him the three strikes thing, but he gives him maximum 22 years whoa you sir may fuck off no doubt holy shit 22 years 22 years he's like you're a disaster to society in general and we need to get rid of you wow and i kind of feel bad because i mean think about i feel bad for him he's got a kid he's got a new wife he's got a new baby that just was

born i feel bad for him because he's a fucking coke. He's got a new wife. He's got a new baby that just was born. I feel bad for him because he's a fucking cokehead. You know what I mean? He's a cokehead. He's not an Eddie Johnson violent cokehead. He's in an abandoned house. I mean, he did steal some jewelry, and they think he purse-snatched somebody or something. And it's sad.

It's so sad. I feel bad for all these people, Jimmy. Oh, no. I feel so bad. But not nearly. God damn it. Not nearly. Nearly as bad as I feel people, Jimmy. I feel so bad, but not nearly, goddammit, not nearly, nearly as bad as I feel for Stanley Wilson, who has his own company called Stanley Wilson Day Tours in rural India.

Or Stanley Wilson PhD, a psychologist with over 30 years experience in the Everett, Washington area. Or Stanley Wilson, a singer. He's an American-born tenor with a CD called, quote, Art Songs of the British Romantics. Or Stanley Wilson, attorney at law.

He handles business law, mergers and acquisitions in Tempe, Arizona. There's so many. Stanley Wilson, a high school football player in Jonesboro, Arkansas, who's a wide receiver, 6'4", 185 pounds. Poor kid. Stanley Wilson, a certified public accountant in Mongong mong guam i just wanted to say mong mong guam so i wrote that one down i hope there's somebody in mong mong that listens to this and finally dr stanley wilson md a general surgeon with a five-star rating on healthgrades.com

in charleston south carolina and he's accepting new patients if you need something cut out of you i feel bad for those people because that. You Google, that's what you find. That's too bad. So March 10th, 2005. Everybody Googles themselves. You know what I mean? Yeah. And you know that doctor has Googled himself a million times and he's like, God damn it. Are you serious? He just tells everybody, make sure you put in

doctor. Make sure you put doctor, Stanley, Wilson. You put everything. Put surgeon after it. Just don't put Stanley Wilson. I did not smoke crack before the Super Bowl. I've never been in the Super Bowl. And he looked like a little old gray curly haired man. He's never been in the Super Bowl.

March 10, 2005, there's a fluff piece about how Wilson Jr. Remember Wilson Jr.? Yeah. Wilson Jr. has been playing college football at Stanford through the early 2000s. He got into an Ivy League school. He's ready to enter the NFL draft in 2005. He's a cornerback and a nasty one at Stanford.

So it's a big thing. This is during the combine before the draft. They go and do a story with him about how his father's a fucking disaster and has he been a fire in his footsteps. You're not going to be one, right? Yeah. his father's a fucking disaster. And has he been a fire in his footsteps, right?

Yeah. So they ask him, and the whole piece is about how Wilson Jr. still respects his father. And his quote is, quote, he's still my father. Still the man I've always listened to and loved and I've never tried to run away from the name. Some people, they don't know their father,

they don't have their father anymore, you know, because they passed on. I'm lucky, my father's still alive. Even in his current circumstances, well, he's still here. That's how he said, like, he's still passed on. I'm lucky. My father's still alive. Even in his current circumstances, well, he's still here. That's how he said it. Like, he's still alive anyway. I got that. He's saying a lot of truthful shit.

He's saying some shit. It's a bit misguided, but he's not wrong. So 2005, Stanley Wilson Jr., or the second as he puts it, is taken by the Detroit Lions in the third round of the draft. Wow. 72 overall. You're making the goddamn team. What year?

In 2005. Wow. 72 overall. You're making the goddamn team. What year? In the 2005. Wow. You are making the squad if you get drafted in the third round more than likely. Now, the only thing is two picks after that, they could have had Justin Tuck. Whoops. Really good Giants defensive lineman for years. And also Darren Sproles in the fourth who's still a productive running back. He's kicking ass this year too.

And he's a tiny little shit who's been playing for 12 years so fast he's so nasty they could have had him or him but instead they got stanley whoops so let's get back to stanley senior yeah he has his nfl career he plays for i think four years and washes out yeah stanley jr he's out by 2009 january 2016 this year stanley wilson. is released from prison. Early. After serving 17 years of his 22-year sentence, his wife Kim stayed with him the whole fucking time. She married him less than a year before he went to jail. So it's not like they were together for 20 years and she said, he's my man.

She fucking stayed with him, man. What are you? Wow. That's a, I don't know what her deal is. That's a ride or die. That's what she is. She suffered her life. Wow.

Yeah. Here's the thing though, in just being a married man, like women get, and men, if you neglect your significant other, they will tell, I have needs.

I have needs. And then they stray. He has been away for so long 17 years what has she done for 17 years in that bedroom

he went away yeah he well shit he went away his his child was a baby yeah he comes back they're ready to graduate

high school that's unbelievable watch the whole childhood through prison how wild is that so he's doing well now

yeah there's articles about how he got to you know see you know family members and he did well and he's whatever but he's not really he's not doing too much in the press he did a little interview that was just a little haha he he i'm doing fine whatever uh now june 22nd 2016 what this is now just a few months ago stanley wilson jr because he's a junior who played sports is found in the backyard of an 80 year old couple in portland oregon naked and shot in the stomach what naked with a gunshot in the stomach in the council crest neighborhood of portland he's alive and sitting in a fountain in the backyard.

Just bleeding out. Bleeding out. It's less than a mile away from his rental home that he has in the area. This was not the first incident he had that day. Apparently, that was the end of the day. The first incident. That's a hell of a day. This is a day.

Listen to this. The first incident in this hell of a day came when he still had clothes on at this point he was not naked he approached a home and entered through the garage this woman had just come home from somewhere and i guess they'd stained some patio furniture they had some stain on it so they opened the garage door to let it air out sure so he sticks his head you know there's a garage and then there's a door to the house inside in the garage that you go into he apparently went in the garage and then stuck his head inside the door to the house and just peeked in the door and the lady was standing there like, hey, how's it going? Like, she's like, who are you?

Hey, weirdo, what are you doing? And this is the best conversation I've ever heard in my life. The woman sees him standing there. He says to her, quote, do you need anything? Just poked his head in the garage and said, do you need anything? She said, no. What are you doing in my garage? He said, isn't this where I'm supposed to be?

And she said, no. And he just said, oh, and left. The oddest conversation ever. That's the words of a man that's about to do some shit that's illegal. She said he seemed very surprised by the fact that he was in the wrong place and left quietly. Here's what you do in that situation. You open the door, hoping that nobody's in there. And when you see someone, you go, hey, I just want to let you know you left your garage door open.

I didn't know if you noticed it or not. He said, do you need anything? I don't know you. Why would I need something? What are you talking about? Hey, I'm here for that thing that you need. What are you, the neighborhood, you're making a list of you're going out on a sandwich run? What are you doing? I'd like a pastrami on rye, please. I do need something. Yes, I'd like a roast beef sandwich. Are you here for the cuckold? What are

you here for? What are you doing? Is the orgy today? I thought I scheduled that for tomorrow. So she said, seemed surprised, left quietly, and she noted that he was very polite and nicely dressed but she got that dressed part down though but she thought it was odd that he wasn't wearing any shoes so he had lost his shoes at this point but he's still nicely dressed he's undressing slowly she said quote he was he was nicely dressed he was a nice looking polite person who was trying to break into my home but she called police after she said that he was just standing in the front yard shoeless looking confused so she called the police and was like okay there's a man here that believes he belongs here he said isn't this where i'm supposed to be she's like no asked me if i needed anything

that's the best conversation now he's just standing in the in the tree in the front yard staring at my tree that's some junior shit right there, man. I'll tell you something. That's junior behavior. Turns out by the time the cops got to her house, he was already gone. By the time he had been shot, it turns out he had broken into or trespassed on at least two other houses in the area before arriving at the residence of 78-year-old Robert McCall,

who was like his dad started a bunch of chemical companies in Portland in the 50s. So he's naked in the yard. Is he playing strip robbery? Like every house he brings... Oh, that's the shirt. I couldn't get in. That's my pants. Every time he can't get into the home,

he loses a kind of a clothing. Couldn't get in this one, lose the shoes. Somewhere on the other side of town, there's another robber with like his shirt on and just his boxers. Just a half shirt. Prying open the shoes. Somewhere on the other side of town, there's another robber with his shirt on and just his boxers. Just a half shirt. Pry and open the door. Some dude's standing there with a coke dick and a tank top. And this is in the afternoon.

Jesus Christ. This is broad daylight. The homeowner says he hears some shit. He looks in the back and there's some fucking naked guy trying to break in his house. And he's an 80-year-old man, so I... This is like a 30-year-old guy trying to break in his house. He's scared you know big swinging black dick on like back patio what the fuck so he shoots him um they say that

he's like i better shoot this guy he's gonna come in here and fuck my mouth or something i don't know he's naked trying to break in i'm 80 so i wear dentures i know what i know what they do with guys like me no No shit, man. So the charges, they said that there's probably not going to be any charges against the homeowner because the Oregon law states that, quote, a person is justified in using deadly physical force upon another person if the other person is burglarizing or trying to burglarize a home. Standard ground shit.

Yeah, general shit, basically, if you're in your house. His charges are going to be one felony count one felony count of first degree burglary, one misdemeanor count of first degree criminal trespassing and two counts of second degree criminal criminal trespassing. They broke it down like second degree is like hanging out in the yard. Yeah. I don't know if you had no public indecency. Nothing. No nudity. That is not charged at all. Dick out. Fine. No worries. I guess I guess the shame of getting shot in the chest, which. Dick out. Fine. No worries. I guess the shame

of getting shot in the chest with your dick out is enough. Sitting in some dude's fountain. No shit, man. I'm telling you, man. So things aren't over for him. He's in the hospital

for a while because he's, you know, shot. And then July 1st, which is like a week later, he appears in court wearing clothes. Luckily, he's wearing a suit and claiming that he's happy to be alive.

Everything's fine. He posts a $54,500 bond. $54,500 bond. He is ordered not to go 500 feet near the home he was trying to rob, which I don't think there's any danger of that, considering that guy will buck shots in your ass. He's a good shot. He's an 80-year-old man, but he doesn't fuck around.

He's a crack shot. So speaking of Mr. McCall here, July 6, 2016, he's a good shot he's an 80 year old man but he doesn't fuck around he's a crack shot so speaking of mr mccall here july 6 2016 grand jury rules that the homeowner mccall was justified in his defense of his home and shooting him no charges will be filed against him july 14 2016 here new charges of disorderly conduct and aggravated second degree harassment are filed against wilson jr against poor wilson jr now this jr is it's a curse man what is he doing of disorderly conduct and aggravated second-degree harassment are filed against Wilson Jr. Against poor Wilson Jr. now. This Jr. is a curse, man.

What is he doing? It's said that he spit on a law enforcement officer and engaged in, quote, fighting and violent, tumultuous, and threatening behavior. He's an idiot. Toward a law officer. And so that's all pending now still. Jesus. If you really want to have Stanley Wilson Sr. in your house,

you can go on eBay, get a nice 8x10 pic of him with the ball running, about to take off through the line for $3.50. Wow.

I recommend you go out and you get Stanley Wilson in your home. And send that shit to my house. Send it to Jimmy. I want that. We want Stanley.

Hell yes. We want Stanley Wilson right next to the cricket bat in the Diamond Sports Studio. I want Stanley Wilson right next to the cricket bat in the Diamond Sports Studio. I want Stanley Wilson or I'll settle for his... I'll settle for his son's draft poster. I don't care.

I will take either of them. Those two. That's amazing. This is the best story yet. This one was so fun. Yeah, that's where we are now. He's out for now. He's got a 17-year-old kid.

His son is now in the same cycle he's in and his son sounds like there might be some mental illness and or drug problem yeah because you don't just you're not that clueless i have to think like to pop your head in the door and you know that might have been like if he was robbing houses he might have been doing that right sorry but the fact that then he was naked that's bizarre and everybody said he was wandering like he didn't go to the house and leave like, oh, okay, sorry.

If you were trying to rob a place and you saw the person was there and they caught you and you were like, oh, I'm sorry. Shit, they saw my face. You'd walk away

and be like, I'm sorry to be waving as you leave. Hey, bye. See you later. Sorry about that. I'll get your paper here. I'll get your paper here.

Bleeding out, naked in a tree. Right. I mean, with no shoes on. Looking at the bird feeder. Wonder what that is. Unreal. So yeah,

naked in a fountain, they found him. Bleeding out, naked in a fountain. Awesome. What an odd end to that story. So I mean, it's a cycle.
