Mark Mangino

[Srotagtbs]

Allegations against Mark Mangino are rampant:

Brown cited two examples. He said that once, his younger brother had been shot in the arm in St. Louis. Then came a game.

"I dropped a pass and [Mangino] was mad," Brown said. "And I said, 'Yes, sir. Yes, sir.' The yelling didn't bother me. But then he said, 'Shut up!' He said, 'If you don't shut up, I'm going to send you back to St. Louis so you can get shot with your homies.' I was irate. I wanted to hurt him to be honest with you."

Brown said another teammate had confided in the team that his father was an alcoholic and the player dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

"One day, [Mangino] said in front of the entire team, 'Are you going to be a lawyer or do you want to become an alcoholic like your Dad?' " Brown said.

Aztec Dodgeball: Where the Loser Gets Decapitated


Human sacrifice may seem a barbaric idea today, but for some Mesoamerican cultures, in what is now Mexico and Central America, it was part of their way of life. And while it may not have been all fun and games, a game was in fact closely linked with this most macabre of rituals – the earliest recorded ballgame in history. As early as 3,500 years ago, these Mesoamerican dudes were playing a ballgame that was kind of like the granddaddy of modern sports such as racquetball and volleyball. The games took place in long narrow playing alleys, flanked by walls at different angles that the balls bounced against.
