Tue, 20 Jan 2026 - 255 - Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame: John Daly - Sports Bizarre
Golfer John Daly may be one of the most relatable sportspeople ever, having once said, “I don’t think I’ve ever stepped in the gym – they won’t let me smoke there.”
Daly took the golfing world by storm, winning the 1991 PGA Tournament with his impossibly long drives. Off the course, Daly racked up marriages, scandals and suspensions far faster than he ever won tournaments.
He's a first-round ballot entry into the Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame.

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 - 254 - Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame: Jesse Rodriguez - Sports Bizarre
If you've never heard of Jese Rodruguez, prepare to be entertained.
Jese Rodriguez was a future star in the soccer world, but things like a music career and discovering he was a father via Instagram sent things sideways.
Despite a career that included stints at Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, it was off the field Jese shone, like when he spent €5,000 on text messages to vote an ex-girlfriend off the show Big Brother.
He is a worthy entry to the Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame.

Our next inductee is an easy entry to the Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame.
No athlete was like Rube Wadell. One of the greatest pitchers of all time, Rube's exploits on the field paled to his off-the-field antics.
From chasing fire tracks, training geese to jump rope or leaving games to go fishing, Rube became the most popular baseballer of his age.

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 - 252 - Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame Inductee: James Hunt - Sports Bizarre
Perhaps no other Formula One Driver has captured the imagination of racing fans as much as James Hunt.
For a man who said, “my first priority is to finish above rather than beneath the ground," he spent an enormous amount of his early career crashing.
James Hunt, race car driver, international playboy and keen breeder of budgerigars, is a worthy addition to the Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame.

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 - 251 - Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame: Carlos Kaiser - Sports Bizarre
It's time to induct some of our favourite ever characters to the Sports Bizarre Hall of Fame! There is no great honour in sport.
Our first inductee encapsulates everything you'd want in a Hall of Fame member: pure shenanigans.
Carlos Kaiser had one of the longest careers in Brazilian football, joining all the big four clubs Botafogo, Fluminense, Flamengo, and Vasco da Gama, plus stints in Mexico, Argentina and France.
However, what made Kaiser’s career remarkable was not its length or being part of so many top sides but the fact that he never played a single game.

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 - 237 - Archive: The Man Who Invented the Melbourne Cup - Sports Bizarre
Frederick Charles Standish left England in 1852 under a false name and fleeing moneylenders. Landing in Melbourne, he was forced to live on the goldfields and run a sly grog business.
Yet, just six years later, he would be the colony's Chief Commissioner of police, be a pallbearer at Robert O’Hara Burke's funeral, invent the Melbourne Cup, become a key player in the formation of the VRC and lead, very unsuccessfully, the hunt for Ned Kelly.
Titus O'Reily and Mick Molloy examine the life of one of Australia's strangest characters, a man who paused the hunt for Ned Kelly while the weights of the Melbourne Cup were declared.
