40 years of dubious Seth Jones moments

Today marks 40 years that Seth Jones has walked the earth. Sure, there have been good moments... maybe even great moments, depending on whom you ask... but let's be honest. There have been some amazingly cringe-worthy moments along the way. Let's revisit them, with...

Dubious moments of Seth Aaron Jones!

... Broke his arm in an 8th grade basketball game... during pregame warm-ups...
... Left his high school prom date behind so he could play in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament...
... Broke his leg skiing on New Year's Day 2000, then made his sister pass out while she was holding his cast to set...
... Bent a Camaro in half by hydroplaning down the Kansas Turnpike and spinning into the median at 85 miles per hour. Got knocked out, woke up to the sparks and thought, "Am I on fire?"
... Once convinced three friends it was a good idea to scale the outfield wall at Wrigley Field and run the bases at 3 a.m., resulting in all four of them getting arrested... and in the chipped front left tooth he has to this day (Thanks, Cook County Police)...
... Once called 911 to report a fire, then tried to help the arsonist as he watched his car burn at Charlie's East Side...
... Helped Samuel L. Jackson score the role of "Nick Fury" in the Avengers movies, without making a single dime for himself...
... Stopped his '64 Impala by dragging his left foot down a dirt alley after the brakes went out...
... Drove to Perry Lake with a camcorder because he was sure the fireworks he was seeing were UFOs in formation...
... Angered Phil Mickelson so much in Palm Desert that Mickelson felt compelled to call him a "stupid mother f*cker" in front of a gallery of fans...
... Had to walk from downtown Lincoln, Neb., to the Lincoln airport following the Pixies concert, because Lincoln didn't have taxis... 
... Passed himself off as a professional golfer to get himself into a sold-out Violent Femmes concert in Pittsburgh...
... Once hired a Hooters waitress to interview John Daly... and it worked...
... Once went 0-24 from the three-point line in Sunday pick-up hoops, but still got pissed when one of the young guys didn't pass him the ball for an open look...
... Thought it'd be cool to co-pilot a plane from Augusta, Ga., to Cleveland after a long day of drinking at the Masters... 
... Once interviewed the cast of the Walking Dead, despite having never watched the Walking Dead...
... Demanded his LASIK surgeon give him an extra valium tab because he's "6'3", 210 pounds, not some lightweight....!"
