Scam Goddess

It's a sports compilation! Today, Laci is joined by the man who gave her the title Scam Goddess, Miles Gray. He loves 20 Day Fiancé and fútbol, plus he used to be part of Christina Aguilera's crew, so you know he's cool. But today we're talking about some of the most scandalous schemes in sports history, including Kawhi Leonard getting paid for some ads that he didn't ever do so he could stay on the Clippers, Tom Brady's infamous Deflategate, and a man who pretended to be an athlete so hard he actually participated in a spring training.
