1 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Welcome back to playing Dirty Sports Scandals, where I veteran 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: ESPN sportscaster Jay Harris don my barista skills to serve 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: up the most shocking stories from the sports world. Today. 4 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: I've got a tail for you with twists and turns 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: that'll make your taste buds scream. Are you ready? I 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: hope so, because it's down the hatch with today's baleful broom. 7 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: By the time we get to the bottom of this 8 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: messy blend, we're gonna have some serious rinsing to do, 9 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: because today's dirty player is none other than the notorious 10 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Darryl Henley. Darryl Henley was born in Los Angeles, California, 11 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: on October thirtieth, nineteen sixty six, the day before Halloween. 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Even though his life would descend into horrors far greater 13 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: than not scary Farm, the Bates Motel, and the haunted 14 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: trail of Balboa Park all rolled into one from the outset, 15 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: Daryl seemed to have it made. His devoted parents, Tom 16 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: and Dorothy instilled strong values in Daryl, along with his 17 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: two older brothers, Thomas and Eric. There was no stepping 18 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: out of line tolerated in the Henley clan, but equally. 19 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: Theirs was a household where the children knew they were 20 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: loved and supported. Both Tom and Dorothy Henley were proud 21 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: college graduates who believed that education was the key to 22 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: success in life. They pushed their three sons to work hard, 23 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: and Tom's household rules as the patriarch forbade mediocrity. After all, 24 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: he and his wife were sacrificing to give their children 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: every advantage, and so understandably they expected their boys to 26 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: put their best efforts forward. Strict vigilance was maintained by 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: the Henleys over their son's activities. In stepping out of 28 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: line with any deviant behavior, especially drugs, was totally prohibited. 29 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: The La Times reported on the Henley household years later, 30 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: painting a picture of Tom and Dorothy Hindley, who were 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: too poor at times to buy a car. They walked 32 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: to work, saving to send their youngsters to Christian elementary schools, 33 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: and when it was time for high school, they moved 34 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: so they could send their boys to a better high school. 35 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: Damien and Laverne. These were parents who prioritized their children's 36 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: futures over their own comforts, who never dropped their watchful eyes, 37 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: and who had every reason to believe that their choices 38 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: were paying off. Tom Henley gave an example of how 39 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: his boys stood apart from the pack, proudly saying, when 40 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the kids were growing up, everybody was smoking marijuana. I 41 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: would let my sons use the car and I would 42 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: check the ashtrays. Later I would go into their rooms 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: and check their drawers. I was searching because as a 44 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: parent I had that doubt, but I didn't find so 45 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: much much as a roach. Three kids, three sons, and 46 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: not that my kids are perfect, but not one problem. 47 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: Perhaps it was their doting parents' attention. Perhaps it was 48 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: their family's strong moral and religious foundation, with Tom even 49 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: serving as a deacon in church for over two decades. 50 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: Or perhaps Daryl, Thomas and Eric were simply destined for achievement. 51 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: In any event, Patriarch Tom Henley could say with confidence 52 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: in the late nineteen eighties that it was something special 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: being a Henley. And that's something special shone brightest under 54 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: the spotlight of Damian High School's gridiron, where Daryl and 55 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: Thomas Henley were football standouts. The brother's prowess on the 56 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: field was undeniable. Thomas was such a talent that he 57 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: was scooped up by Stanford University the play wide receiver. Meanwhile, 58 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: Darrell's athleticism and academic excellence earned him a scholarship to 59 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: UCLA just a few short years later. The Henley kids 60 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: were on the map when it came to higher education, 61 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: and their devoted parents were thrilled. At UCLA, Daryl continued 62 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: to feed Tom and Dorothy's parental pride. He was a 63 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: standout cornerback with a vibrant personality, known for his flair 64 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: and strategic thinking on the football field. Not only did 65 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: Darrel play defense, but he also contributed significantly to special teams, 66 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: particularly in punt and kickoff returns. This versatility earned Daryl 67 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: a spot on the nineteen eighty eight Consensus All American 68 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: Team his senior year, as well as first team All 69 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: Packed ten honers. To put this accomplishment into perspective, consider 70 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: that soon to be household named Dion Sanders was the 71 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: other corner on that nineteen eighty eight All American team. 72 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: Daryl was literally standing shoulder to shoulder with the greats 73 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: when it came to college football, and his academic performance 74 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: at UCLA was equally impressive. He graduated with a three 75 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: point three GPA in finance. Daryl was talented and smart. 76 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: It seemed a golden future awaited him in the NFL 77 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and beyond. Draft Day in nineteen eighty nine came and 78 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: no one was surprised when Darryl Henley's name was called 79 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: in the second round by the Los Angeles Rams. Joining 80 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: the team fresh off a near Super Bowl run, Daryl 81 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: was viewed by Rams coach John Robinson as a strategic 82 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: choice to bolster a squad with big aspirations. The only 83 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: thing Daryl Henley is lacking is bulk at five feet 84 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: nine and one hundred and seventy pounds, coach Robinson told 85 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: the LA Times. But I think he's one of those 86 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: guys who bounces. Was coach John Robinson? Right? Would Daryl 87 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: Henley bounce to the top with his new team? The 88 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: Rams were counting on Darryl Henley paying off in their 89 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: pursuit of elusive championship glory at the next Super Bowl. 90 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: Darrel felt the enormous pressure of his new position and 91 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: was determined to transition from collegiate star to NFL player fast. 92 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: His upbringing had prepared him for hard work, and Daryl 93 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: did not disappoint. He pushed himself hard Darrel would often 94 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: stay laid in the weight room or on the track 95 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: to put in the extra reps required to become a 96 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: formidable NFL cornerback, and just as it always had done 97 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: for Daryl, the hard work paid off on the field. 98 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: Darrel established himself early on as a reliable cornerback, leveraging 99 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: his speed and agility to cover some of the league's 100 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: top receivers. Over his NFL career, he started fifty four 101 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: of a possible seventy six games, appearing in all of 102 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: them and intercepting twelve passes. After just two years, he 103 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: won a starting job and kept it for four seasons. 104 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: That's incredible. Daryl's consistent performance and ability to make crucial 105 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: plays made him a solid and respected component of the 106 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: Rams defense, and coach Robinson had every reason to believe 107 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: his pick had been a strong one. In a July twentieth, 108 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety interview with The La Times, Darryl epitomized the 109 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: type of focused player NFL coaches aimed to work with. 110 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: Summing up his personal approach to the sport, it comes 111 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: down to sink or swim, Darryl explained, and I plan 112 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: on swimming off the field Darryl Henley's life was as 113 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: dynamic as you'd expect. A twenty three year old NFL 114 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: player pulling down six figures annually was going to have 115 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: plenty of options, including options which weren't always positive. While 116 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: Daryl continued to outwardly embody the discipline and ethics his 117 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: parents had instilled in him, the internalized pressures of professional 118 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: sports was taking its toll. He was young, the expectations 119 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: on him weighed heavily, and he had sudden, unfettered access 120 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: to everything he'd never before been allowed to have. During 121 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: Darryl Henley Lee's NFL career, which spanned the late nineteen 122 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: eighties and early nineteen nineties, it's important to understand that 123 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: the United States was deeply entrenched in the War on 124 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: Drugs and era marked by tough on crime policies that 125 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: aim to combat drug use and distribution. The War on 126 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Drugs campaign was kicked off under Richard Nixon's presidency in 127 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,239 Speaker 1: June nineteen seventy one, and subsequent administrations ran with the baton. 128 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: First Lady Nancy Reagan popularized the controversial anti drug slogan 129 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: just Say No, and President George H. W. Bush, who 130 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: served from nineteen eighty nine to nineteen ninety three continued 131 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: the aggressive anti drug agenda set by the Reagan administration. 132 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: It was a time characterized by widespread public fear about drugs, 133 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: heightened law enforcement actions, and stringent penalties for drug offenses. California, 134 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: where Darryl Henley was based, was a focal point of 135 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the war on Drugs campaign. The state battled significant drug 136 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: related issues, particularly with the rise of crack cocaine, which 137 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: had a devastating impact on many urban communities. Crack was 138 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: far cheaper than powdered cocaine and easier to smuggle, sell, 139 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: and produce. It was also far more addictive, with users 140 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: reporting near immediate addiction and the desire to do almost 141 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: anything for another hit. Los Angeles in particular, was experiencing 142 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: high levels of drug violence, with frequent clashes between drug 143 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: gangs and law enforcement. The city struggles with drugs were 144 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: exacerbated by the Rodney King incident. On March third, nineteen 145 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: ninety one, Rodney King, a black man, was severely beaten 146 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: by Los Angeles police officers who arrested him for driving 147 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: while intoxicated after a high speed chase on the Highway. 148 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: A man named George Holiday saw the police brutality taking 149 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: place from his balcony, so he filmed it and shared 150 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: the footage with local news station KTLA. The horrifying police 151 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: mistreatment of Rodney King was picked up by news outlets 152 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: around the world, and the public was outraged. This precipitated 153 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: the La riots of nineteen ninety two, which underscored the 154 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: tensions between the community and the police. For many people, 155 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: they felt the police could and should stuff all the 156 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: policies they were supposed to be enforceick including the crackdown 157 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: on drugs where the sun don't shine, and their feelings 158 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: were understandable because the War on drugs has since been 159 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: proven to have been directly motivated by racism. In fact, 160 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: twenty three years after the War on drugs campaign was 161 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: first announced, John Erlickman, who served as Richard Nixon's domestic 162 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: policy adviser, revealed in an interview that the War on 163 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: drugs had been strategically deployed as a crusade to criminalize 164 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: blacks and the anti Vietnam War left. John Erlckman said, quote, 165 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: we knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either 166 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: against the war or blacks, but by getting the public 167 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, 168 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: and then criminalizing them both heavily. We could disrupt those communities. 169 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: We could arrest their leaders, raide their homes, break up 170 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: their meetings, and vilify them night after night in the 171 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? 172 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: Of course we did. Wow. That is a truly horrifying admission. 173 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: John Erlickman did ultimately serve prison time for his role 174 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: in Watergate, but the underhanded war on drugs policy he 175 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: helped develop plagued Americans for generations. With the social mobility 176 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: of blacks in America suffering massive collateral damage. Against this 177 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: prejudiced and divisive backdrop, Los Angeles became the burgeoning epicenter 178 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: of a cultural movement. They would have profound implications nationwide. 179 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: The rise of gangster rap. Artists like NWA, which included 180 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: Doctor dre Ice Cube and EASYE, were pioneering this genre, 181 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: which vividly chronicled the realities of life in neighborhoods plagued 182 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: by violence, police brutality, and systemic neglect. Their seminal album 183 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight, Straight out of Compton brought national 184 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: attention to these issues, portraying the struggles and frustrations of 185 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: urban youth with raw, unfiltered lyrics. Los Angeles, characterized by 186 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: both the glamour of Hollywood and the grid of its 187 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: inner city streets, inevitably influenced its sports figures. The city 188 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: of angels dual identity was mirrored in the lives of 189 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: some of its top athletes, athletes like Darryl Henley, who 190 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: found himself in his early twenties navigating the high stakes 191 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: of professional sports while being immersed in a local culture 192 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: marked by both creativity and crisis. For as long as 193 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: Darryl Henley was winning, for as long as the Rams 194 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: were realizing success, life, even in divided Los Angeles, made 195 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: some sense for the young man who'd been raised to 196 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: believe that hard work always pays off. The Henleys were winners. 197 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: That was what made sense to Daryl, just as it 198 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: had done for his parents. It was only when he 199 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: finally had to confront the reality that winning is not 200 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: an inevitability even with hard work, that the crack started 201 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: to form in his carefully cultivated persona. The La Rams 202 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: endured three consecutive losing seasons after Darrow's first spectacular season, 203 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: and it broke him. Daryl Henley recalled how his spirits 204 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: plummeted at this time, saying, I was used to winning, 205 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: and then suddenly everything just started to fall apart. It 206 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: was a tough period for me. Even so from the 207 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: outside looking in, it appeared that this was just a 208 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: blip in the Daryl Henley story. After all, he had 209 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: an enviable six hundred thousand dollars annual salary in the 210 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three season, a highly promising career, and the 211 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: glamorous life of a professional athlete. He'd already achieved so 212 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: much for someone so young, But Daryl could not shake 213 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: his malaise. He decided to seek a change of scenery 214 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: and relocate his personal home base to Atlanta, where he 215 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: knew few people. This move across the country from California 216 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: to Georgia marked the beginning of a significant transformation in 217 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: Daryl's social life. He quickly attracted a new group of 218 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: friends in Atlanta, and these relationships would prove to be catastrophic. 219 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: These were the kind of people I was used to, 220 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Daryl reflected years later. The people I hung out with 221 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: in Atlanta seemed all right at first, but they didn't 222 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: really share my values or my goals, and so instead 223 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: of improving his mood, Daryl found himself struggling more than 224 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: ever in Atlanta to navigate the press and pitfalls of 225 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: his off field life with his professional career still. His 226 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: colleagues and coaches had no clue that Daryl was in 227 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: such a bad place mentally, after all, his playing continued 228 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,239 Speaker 1: to be top notch. In fact, even as the Rams struggled, 229 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Darryl Henley burned his individual value into the gridiron, leading 230 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: the team in interceptions during their final season in Anaheim 231 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: before the Rams moved to Saint Louis. Darrel's performance was 232 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: recognized by the Rams with a substantial one point two 233 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: million dollar contract offer to continue his career with the 234 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: team in Saint Louis, underscoring his value as a top 235 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: tier NFL cornerback. But despite this validation from the Rams, 236 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: Darryl Henley, an extremely loved and gifted human, was in 237 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: a dark place about to throw everything away. I'm going 238 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: to cleanse my palette now because this tale is about 239 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: to take a dark turn. Atlanta was not a move 240 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: that would prove positive for Daryl. His dissent was marked 241 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: by late nights in a revolving door of questionable acquaintances. 242 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: Quote for all intents and purposes, Yeah, the people I 243 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: hung out with were my friends. They came over and 244 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: we kicked it. They came and watched me work out. 245 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: Daryl explained this camaraderie from the Atlanta hangers on filled 246 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: a void that had been left after many of his 247 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: close teammates had been traded or waived by the RAMS management. 248 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: Feeling lonely and basking in his role, however superficial it was. 249 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: As the new local celebrity everyone wanted to be with, 250 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: Daryl was pulled deeper into circles and situations he struggled 251 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: to recognize. Spending time with guys who already had rap 252 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,239 Speaker 1: sheets and who didn't share his own promising career prospects 253 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: likely made Daryl feel like the big man in the room, 254 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: offsetting his depress about the Rams losing Street. But according 255 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: to Daryl, any comfort he derived from his new pals 256 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: quickly turned sour as they pulled him into their world 257 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: of drug trafficking. Before I knew it, I was thickened 258 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: to something I couldn't identify, something I was into too 259 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: deep to get out of. Daryl would later reflect, I 260 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: was angry, confused, and most of all desperate, so desperate 261 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: that my thinking became irrational and warped to the extent 262 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: that I'd do anything to make it all go away. 263 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: Part of that anything involved pulling his ex girlfriend and 264 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: still friend Tracy and Donahoe down into the world of 265 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: dirty playing with him, Darryl Henley and Tracy and Donahoe 266 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: seemed to epitomize the perfect couple. He was a star 267 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: football player for the Rams and Tracy was a cheerleader 268 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: for the Embraceable use the Rams cheer squad. Both were 269 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: in peak physical condition, exuded outward confidence, and it maintained 270 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: their best friend's status even after splitting up romantically. But 271 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: of course, real best friends don't get you involved in 272 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: drug trafficking. According to Tracy, the nightmare started for her 273 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: in May nineteen ninety three when Darrell allegedly told her 274 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: she could work for his friend Willie McGowan to earn 275 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: some easy cash to pay her bills. All she had 276 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: to do was fly with a suitcase of cash from 277 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: Los Angeles to Memphis, trusting her ex lover and close 278 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: friend implicitly. At this point, Tracy picked up the suitcase 279 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: from Daryl's second home in Brea, California, and flew it 280 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: to Memphis. When she arrived, Gary West, another pal of Darrell's, 281 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: met her at the airport and then spent hours trying 282 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: to find enough cash to pay for her flight home. 283 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Tracy thought this was strange and later told the La 284 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: Times she felt scared by the time she returned home 285 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: to Orange County, but not scared enough, apparently, because in 286 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: July nineteen ninety three, Trai agreed to make another trip 287 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: to Atlanta because it meant she'd be able to spend 288 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: some time with Darryl in person, who was holed up 289 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: in his Georgia residence. The ex lovers and best friends 290 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: would never enjoy more than a few fraught moments together again, however, 291 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: because on July fifteenth, nineteen ninety three, Tracy Donaho was 292 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: forced to face up to the glaring realization that Darryl 293 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: had grossly abused her trust. Drug Enforcement Agency or DEA 294 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: officers were waiting for her in Atlanta. Tracy had caught 295 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: the attention of federal narcotics investigators by paying cash for 296 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: a one way ticket from Ontario International Airport to Atlanta 297 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: on a pre dawn flight, a well known red flag 298 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: for drug trafficking, the agent seized Tracy's suitcase right in 299 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: front of Darryl Henley. Tracy must have been stunned. There 300 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: was her longtime companion Daryl just a few feet away, 301 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: but instead of stepping in to help clear things up 302 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: for Tracy, he revealed no knowledge of what was going on. 303 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: As the situation devolved, Tracy insisted that it wasn't until 304 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: she was being arrested that she realized the bag contained 305 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: twelve kilos of cocaine worth about two hundred and fifty 306 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 1: thousand dollars on the street. But Daryl clearly did know 307 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 1: what the bag contained, and given how close the two 308 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: had been, it must have been devastating for Tracy to 309 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: realize he was going to let her take the fall. 310 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: As Tracy was taken into police custody, Daryl returned to 311 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: his Atlanta home. His connections to the apparent trafficking operation 312 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: had not yet been clarified to law enforcement, and Tracy, 313 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: almost certainly still shell shocked by what had gone down, 314 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: didn't immediately point a finger at Daryl. Tracy wouldn't start 315 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: talking until the severity of the mess hit her and 316 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: she was forced to confront Daryl's duplicity. It turned out 317 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: that Tracy Donahoe's actions and arrests were not isolated events, 318 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: but part of a broader scheme later outlined by federal 319 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: prosecutors supported by her father, a retired police officer from 320 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: La County, Tracy at last came clean and cooperated fully 321 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 1: with pre trial services subsequent to her arrest and release 322 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Her allegations were shocking, pulling back the facade 323 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: of Daryl Henley's brilliant and talented public persona to reveal 324 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: him as a criminal. Daryl allegedly coordinated with Rafael Bustamante, 325 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: Alejandro Figaro Equavis, and James Timothy Says, among others, to 326 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: transport large quantities of cocaine from California to various destinations 327 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: across the country, and Daryl had made Tracy a mule, 328 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: a mule earning the measly sum of just one thousand 329 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: dollars per delivery in that operation. Thank goodness that mules 330 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: kick or this dangerous drug operation might have gone on 331 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: for far longer. Quote, Tracy is a nice person who 332 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: got caught up in a web of intrigue. Her defense attorney, 333 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: Stephen aide to Sales, told the La Times she was 334 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: a nineteen year old kid, She was naive, and she 335 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: was betrayed by someone she trusted. After she realized what 336 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: had happened, she told the truth. Without her, there was 337 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: no case, but with Tracy there certainly was a case. 338 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: And on December second, nineteen ninety three, warrants were issued 339 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: for Darryl Henley and all the other exposed participants in 340 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: the trafficking scheme. Darryll's attorney, Carl E. Douglas, who is 341 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: best known for being on OJ Simpson's defense team, declared 342 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: that his client would surrender to authorities in anticipation of 343 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: his arraignment in US District Court in Santa Anna, California. 344 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: We are prepared to face these allegations and will cooperate 345 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: with the judicial process, the ever confident attorney Douglas remarked. 346 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: Both Darryl Henley and Tracy Donaho were charged with one 347 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: count of conspierre in one kind of possession with intent 348 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: to distribute cocaine. They faced possible life jail sentences and 349 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: eight million dollars in fines if convicted on both counts. 350 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: There were also extortion charges against some of the other conspirators. 351 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Now you may be wondering why Tracy, a naive participant 352 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: and key cooperating witness, was charged at all. While this 353 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: is standard protocol in such cases, prosecutors need to have 354 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: a serious charge to hold over a cooperating defend its head, 355 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: to ensure they delivered their full testimony, to receive a 356 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: lenient sentence, or in some cases, even a dismissal of 357 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: the charges. Certainly, both Tracy Donaho and Darryl Henley had 358 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: every reason to fear what was coming. The indictment painted 359 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: a grim picture of a highly sophisticated drug trafficking operation 360 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: extending from southern California across the nation to Tennessee and 361 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: of course Georgia. Assistant US Attorney Deirdre z Elliott emphasized 362 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: that it was not a simple case of possession, but 363 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: an elaborate scheme to distribute narcotics across state lines, with 364 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: Daryl Henley allegedly playing a pivotal role. While Daryl adamantly 365 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 1: denied that he was the mastermind behind the operation, a 366 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: chilling incident that transpired in October nineteen ninety three, on 367 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: the heels of Tracy's initial July nineteen ninety three drug 368 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: bust certainly painted a picture of Daryl's deep involvement. Three 369 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: of Darrell's associates, Rafael Bustamante, Alejandro Figaroaquavis, and Eric Manning 370 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: confronted him at the RAMS training facility in Anaheim, demanding 371 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: payment for the cocaine shipment that the DEA had confiscated 372 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: from Tracy Donahoe. According to court documents, Rafael Bustamante jumped 373 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: over a security fence and pointed a gun at Daryl. 374 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: Then Rafael forcibly took possession of Darrell's nineteen ninety two 375 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: Lexus and his Glock nine millimeter semi automatic handgun. Just 376 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: hours later, Eric Manning was found dead outside his Cavina apartment, 377 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 1: with shellcasing from a nine millimeter weapon similar to the 378 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: one allegedly stolen from Daryl Henley scattered nearby. Although no 379 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: direct link was established between Daryl and Eric Manning's death, 380 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Rafael Bustamante clearly seemed to have pulled strings in both 381 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: men's lives, and he was clearly extremely dangerous. Darrel had 382 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: every reason to fear that he was next on Rafael's 383 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: hit list. According to the La Times, a week after 384 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: the shooting of Eric Manning, two men identified by authorities 385 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: as Alejandro Figaro Quavas and Rafael Bustamante showed up at 386 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: the home of Darrow Henley's parents in Upland and told 387 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: Darrell's brother Thomas that they had Darrell's lexus and demanded 388 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: the money they said they were owed. When someone from 389 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: the family called police, the men fled. Fortunately for Daryl, 390 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: Anaheim Aloradies moved quickly, and a federal grand jury indict 391 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: at Rafael Bustamante, Alejandro Figaro Equavis, and a third associate, 392 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: James Says, on charges of attempting to extort at least 393 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars from Daryl Henley on threat of death. 394 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: Their indictment revealed the degree to which Daryl Henley's one 395 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: time friends now held his life in the balance over 396 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: a failed cocaine deal, and demonstrated how deeply entrenched the 397 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: cornerback had become in the drug world. The bad guys 398 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: held Darrel Henley accountable, and the good guys would soon 399 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: hold Darrow Henley accountable too. With nowhere left to hide 400 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: his true goings on. Daryl Henley's entire world unraveled virtually 401 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: overnight after the attack at the RAMS training facility. He 402 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: had to step away from the team, with his future 403 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: in professional football hanging in the balance. His teammates, taken 404 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: aback by the charges, struggled to reconcile that Daryl Henley 405 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: they knew what the shocking allegation. RAM safety Michael Stewart 406 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: described the loss of Daryl Henley as almost like losing 407 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: a brother. You lose a brother and naturally it's going 408 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: to have an impact on you. Chuck Miller, who played 409 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: football with Daryl at UCLA, tried to rationalize what had happened, saying, 410 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: any black athlete can tell you that he knows a 411 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: drug dealer. When you hit it big, the first thing 412 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: they come at you with is loan me some money. 413 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: I'll pay you back, And that could very well be true. 414 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: Even so, Willie flipper Anderson, a longtime friend of Daryl's 415 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: and his teammate from UCLA, found the news hard to digest. 416 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: It's hard to see anybody getting involved in something like this. 417 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,239 Speaker 1: I can't imagine it being the athletes we are and 418 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: making the money we do It's hard to see anybody 419 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: getting involved in something like that. It's a shame about Daryl, 420 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: a shame indeed, just washing out the remnants of my 421 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: juice de jure blueberry and BlackBerry with the sprinkle of 422 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: chia seeds. Like the Tale of Darryl Henley, this blend 423 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: is dark, complex and lingering. You know you need to 424 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: find out what happens next, So join me your host 425 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: in Brave Maurista, Jay Harris, to find out how Daryl's 426 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: saga devolves further or next week's episode of Playing Dirty 427 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: Sports Scandals.
