Some people whom you’d think would be gone for good manage to make comebacks. Peter Popoff has a tv show again. I hope Mel Gibson can live down his infamous drunken anti-Jew rant; I think he’s a basically decent person who was fucked up by his upbringing. ---

[A bunch of sports ones](http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2008/12/hes-bleeding-nurse-quick-get-me-super.html), mostly baseball players breaking bad. One respondent added '70’s-'80’s Dolphins receiver Duriel Harris to the list, but I think he got the facts wrong. IIRC, in the early '80’s Harris spiked the ball following a big reception and came down wrong, breaking or at least badly twisting his _ankle_. In a playoff game, no less. :smack: Harris was out for the game, the 'Fins lose the next game and are out of the running. Following that incident, Coach Don Shula instituted a new club rule: NO MORE SPIKING THE BALL! EVER!! ---
