In honor of everybody making a nice “Top 50” Super Bowl list this year, I figured I’d make the one list that I am sure the NFL wishes nobody made.
Hey kids, how about the Top 50 criminals to have ever played on Super Bowl Sunday!!
Yaaaaaayyyyyy!
Now, I’ll be honest. This list has a few “stretches” in it. Some guys never were convicted. Some guys not even charged. And some of the guys on the list, aren’t really bad guys, they just made a mistake that I am sure they regret for a lifetime.
You may think I have some guys ranked too high, others, too low. You are free to quibble with me, but not attack. It’s just a stupid list, people, relax.
If I’ve missed any glaring omissions, please let me know. Our station intern Liam did a bangup job of google searching all these guys, and you too can do your own research to refresh your memory.
I plan to print this sheet on gold letterhead and make sure it reaches the desk of one Roger S. Goodell. Where I am sure, he’ll read it, under that desk. The spot where he does most of his best work. Hiding.
As I always say, the league is populated by about 85% of guys who you would love to have as a neighbor, and the other 15% are… well.. let’s just say “interesting fellas.”

No Rae Carruth…A obvious oversight??…..Come on Czabe!….lol

paul hornoung got in trouble for tax evasion an suspend for a year for gambling had to have his coach vince lombardi have his freind pete rozelle let him off the hook had to commit not to go to vegas or the kentucky derby while he played
We need a Top 50 NFL Criminals of All Time list. I can remember a few off the top of my head that would qualify but didn’t play in the “big game” (i.e.: Mossy Cade and Pacman Jones).
Rae Carruth !!
Great list! Can’t believe Lawrence Phillips (Dead) didn’t make it. Can’t believe the NFL got playmakers canceled!
Ray Lewis cough, cough
Biggest omission woukd have to be O.J.
The only thing to “nit pick” is that #30 Johnny Jolly was not on a team that played in a Super Bowl. He was arrested the year before the Packers Super Bowl XLV victory and suspended from the NFL at the time.
51. Tom Brady – Probably generally aware of deflated footballs. Probably. Generally .
Some guys never were convicted. Some guys not even charged. And some of the guys on the list, aren’t really bad guys, they just made a mistake that I am sure they regret for a lifetime. Where is this information?
To the geniuses above – Carruth was put in jail in 99, so he only missed the Super Bowl by, oh, 5 years.
And OJ and Phillips never played in one either. This is not a difficult concept.
