This week, we transport back to the 70s to look at a man who had it all, talent, ability, style... and a rip roarin\' drug habit that consumed all in its path. So much so, that he went from being the first Black starting quarterback in the post-merger NFL era & being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, all the way down to a ton of arrests, including robbing a fast food restaurant at knifepoint, and eventual homelessness. Did he ever make it back, or did his lifestyle finally take him under, for good? This one is indescribably nuts!
