Sure Laimbeer, Romanowski, Tatum and others spring to mind immediately. How about Dykstra, Calipari, Merriwether.
Just read about Phil Mickelson paying back a $1M on an insider stock trade. Not a golf guy, but soon I found myself going down a bottomless rabbit hole filled with Mickelson gambling stories. Pro athletes and gambling always leads to fixing.
Doesn't like to play in the fall cause it conflicts with his appointment in front of his 12 televisions and football.
Some runner for an offshore book gets popped for laundering a $3M payment that was reputed to be from Mickelson although they didn't give him up in court.
Mickelson is acknowledged to run with the biggest cash roll in his pocket.
Plays some 17 year old college prospect for at 2:1 His $5k to the kid's $2500. And lost. Curious NCAA didn't get in on this.
There is no doubt Mickelson bet against himself. He would bomb out of qualifying in stupendous ways and throw short putts.
Great stuff
