  • Great Show Celebrating a Criminal

    Cocaine QB is fascinating theatre. But, ignoring the dark side of who got hurt while treating Hanson like a celebrity speaks volumes of where we are as a society. Never mind the way he speaks of women, female traffic particularly those from Latin America Sure, he served his time, but does he deserve the respect and adulation Matt and Jerry showered him with? Now, they fan boi over an admitted MLB PED user. Any shame whatsoever?

The Jail Blazers, Michael Jordan, Game 7 vs. Kobe and Shaq with Bonzi Wells
Q: What impact did the media and public perception have on you during that era?

The Jail Blazers, Michael Jordan, Game 7 vs. Kobe and Shaq with Bonzi Wells
Q: What was your process when the idea of a Jail Blazers documentary came together?
It started as an idea I carried for years, gathering people and timing it with the right connections, ultimately becoming a collective effort to tell our story honestly and without the external narratives.
