    Eddie Griffin has got to be on there, if for no other reason than that he drove drunk into a train while jacking it to DVD p*rn in his SUV.

    God Bless C4: Carl Everett:

    "God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex."

    Carl Everett on the Moon landing:

    "Yeah, that could have happened. It's possible. That is something you could prove. You can't prove dinosaurs ever existed. I feel it's far-fetched."

    More Carl:

    "First of all, paleontologists don't believe one another on their own discoveries, how can I believe in people who dont even believe in it themselves? And biblically, there's no mention of dinosaurs. According to the word of the Bible, Adam had dominion over all animals; according to man, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. So either Gods a liar, or well, I don't believe that God's a liar."

    "Fan is short for fanatic: he's crazy about something he really doesn't know about. And it's proven that 99 percent of baseball fans have no idea what they're watching."

    Some years, it's true that we had no idea what we were watching with the Astros. I'll admit it.

    Loved C4 the quote machine. Probably still on about the "dinosaurs." I like to imagine him as the one kid in kindergarten who hated coloring dinosaur drawings.

    "Nine times out of 10 you'd walk away thinking nothing was wrong with him," said the former staffer on one Snyder's teams. But the staffer added: "Some of the things he'd say, we'd shake our heads like, 'Whoa. What planet is he on?'"

    At one of his NBA stops, Snyder approached a staffer after he had been interviewed by a short male reporter and declared that he couldn't be around "midgets."

    "At first I thought he was joking," the staffer said, "and he was dead serious."

    The hotel incident had been bizarre. But things would get worse. At about 2:20 a.m. on March 30, 2006, Griffin plowed his Cadillac Escalade into a parked Chevy Suburban in front of Minneapolis’s Santana Foods store. Jamal Hassuneh had just exited his apartment and watched as Griffin hit his vehicle. Griffin exited the car and, according to a lawsuit filed by Hassuneh against the city of Minneapolis, told Jamal’s brother, Abed, that he was intoxicated and had been masturbating to a pornographic DVD inside his vehicle. Griffin entered the store and repeatedly told Jamal Hassuneh that he was drunk and pleaded with him to not call police. Griffin offered to buy Hassuneh a new car. “Any car you want, except a Bentley,” Griffin said on footage caught on the store’s video surveillance. “I’ll buy it for you tomorrow. Whatever car you want, man. You can get a Hummer, Navigator, Escalade.” Two officers arrived on the scene and observed that the front of Griffin’s car had sustained heavy damage and his airbags had deployed. The pornographic movie was still playing on Griffin’s dashboard.

    I had forgotten all about Brett Myers and looked up what he did after leaving the Astros, found this gem (clearly had to be written by him or his producers):

    He was also not a "One Year Guy". He was here for over 6 seasons. He hit one of the biggest shots in franchise history and was a starter on the first team to ever win a major championship for this city.

    Carl Everett's best behavior was during his Astros days, I just don't think any clubhouse under Bagwell's watch was going to have any kind of dumb stuff going on. Then he went super crazy when he got to Boston, truly a headcase.

    Artest is the benchmark for this list, short stay, lots of weird behavior.

    Bret Hartmann (steroids then turf lawsuit), Barkley (throws guy out a window), Pippen (DWI and cheesing mug shot)
