Mad, Mad World of Sports

Re-live some of the most marvelous, maddening, and memorable moments from the mysterious, magnificent world of sport. Learn what it feels like to plunge toward earth at 300 mph, to ride a tiny board on a wave big enough to capsize an ocean liner, to be flung by a giant catapult. Hear about the boxer who bit off his opponent’s ear, the soccer player who flattened the ref, and the jockey who pulled up beside the track in thick fog then let the others wear themselves out before leading them home to "win" on the final lap. Marvel at the downright weird: the "tennis dad" who poisoned his kid’s opponents, the rugby league player who spent almost four months with someone else’s tooth in his forehead, and the boxer who was knocked out in 10.5 seconds—including the 10-second count. The unluckiest players, the most dangerous sports, the biggest victories and the worst defeats—they're all here in The Mad, Mad World of Sports.
