How about a few sports ones: Pete Rose gambles away the Hall of Fame... think of the income this guy has lost because of his disbarrment from major league Baseball. Tonya Harding "canes" Nancy Kerrigan and throws away and Olypic career and the lucrative "Ice Show" or analyst possibilities, never mind the endorsements Crazy-man Mike Tyson gnaws on Evander Holyfields ear Roger Clemens chucks a broken bat at Mike Piazza and proves to all he's an unstable 'roider. Not career suicide, but odd nonetheless - Michael Jordan retires from Basketball to become a Minor league baseball player. OJ anyone ?
