Alright, let's see if we can count all of the incidents from the career of Isaiah Rider, the Come Back Kid.
I know there's so no way we could possibly list them all but if we were to count as many as we could the over/under would have to be around 157 wouldn't it?
In truth, it's tragic how a guy with so much talent could have such a short and sad career because he couldn't stay out of trouble.
This guy has a record longer than Elwood Blues...
Is there anyone else in all of sports or even the civilized world for all that matter who comes close to this guy!?
