What makes an athlete so ridiculous that you start to wonder if they're actually from Earth?

On this episode of Pat on the Back, we're not ranking the greatest athletes ever - We're about the guys who make you stop and say " How is that even possible?"

From Bo Jackson to Shaquille O'Neal to LeBron James, these are the athletes who feel less like normal humans and more like they were sent here to dominate sports.

Pat on the Back is the sports show that asks dumb questions that somehow make sense.

This week on Idiot History, we take a look at Richard the Lionheart—a king who inherited England, immediately left, got involved in a holy war, got himself kidnapped, and somehow became one of the most beloved rulers in English history.

We'll cover crusades, battles, political drama, ransom payments, and the remarkable story of a man who spent so little time in England that it's fair to wonder if he ever remembered where he lived.

History has never made more sense.
