Did they ask him if he liked gladiator movies? 

No, but one of the pilots did mention something about dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

This probably should be in the documentary thread but I would say this is the "Stupid Crap an Entire Team Do".  This series on talks about the 1990 Yankees.  A god awful team with some incredible crazy shit going on.   Most of it is the story about the Howie Spira/George Steinbrenner/Dave Winfield saga and all of the insane shit from all three.  But you also have  stuff like Pasqual Perez signing,  Mel Hall and his open relationship with a 16 year old, Don Mattingly signing, more manager bullshit, a pitcher throwing a no hitter and losing 4-0, and much more.   Really fun stuff

So, Lenny Dykstra appears to have suffered a stroke and can no longer drive.  But, YOU can!   (And also maybe bring some "party favors"?)

I couldn't help but laugh at this line, this can't be right, can it? Like statistically it just feels unlikely unless he was doing 90% massive parlays.  

"Marcano bet almost exclusively on the outcomes of games and lost all of his parlay bets involving the Pirates, winning just 4.3% of all of his MLB-related bets, according to the league."

The other four guys are all minor leaguers and all got one year suspensions.

I volunteer to show him how to download Uber and Lyft.

Can't imagine being around him for hours.

Wait for Lenny to be left stranded because his drivers gave up.

I'm amazed no one is volunteering specifically just so they can drive him to an empty field and leave him there.

He'll be fine. Nate Silver will hire him to forecast the presidential race.

Apparently, most of his baseball betting was parlays and prop bets (over/under on runs scored).  Lol, I could see betting on the Pirates to win and losing 95 percent of the time if we’re talking last year’s May-July Pirates.  Pirates played good ball in April, then dropped like a rock until they went all in on a youth movement after the trade deadline.  They weren’t much fun to watch until August & I generally don’t care who wins or loses as long as game is competitive.

Is you’re a gambling company, does Marcano getting banned for life mean more or less bets from a guy who is insanely bad at gambling?

Less. He doesn't have the money to lose 95% of anymore.
