Eddie DeBartolo Jr.’s extortion scandal - DeBartolo was involved in the 1998 corruption case of former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards. DeBartolo pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to report a felony, and received a $1,000,000 fine and 2 years of probation in return for his testimony against Edwards. Edwards was on trial for extortion and other charges, among which were the $400,000 he demanded from DeBartolo to gain a river boat casino license. DeBartolo never received the license, was fined by the NFL, and barred from active control of the 49ers for a year.

The O. J. Simpson murder case - "The Trial of the Century" was held at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in which former NFL great, O. J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder for the June 12, 1994, deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. After the highly publicized low-speed chase in his white Ford Bronco and the televised trial, Simpson was declared not guilty of murder on both counts. Following Simpson's acquittal, no additional arrests or convictions related to the murders have been made. According to the newspaper USA Today, the case has been described as the "most publicized" criminal trial in history. The Brown and Goldman families subsequently filed a civil lawsuit against Simpson. On February 4, 1997, the jury unanimously found Simpson responsible for both deaths. The families were awarded compensatory and punitive damages totaling $33.5 million but have received only a small portion of that.

Lawrence Taylor sexual misconduct - Former NFL star Lawrence Taylor pleaded guilty in 2011 to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute, misdemeanor charges that carry no jail time but require him to register as a sex offender. The 51-year-old ex-linebacker, who led the New York Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991, served six years' probation. "She told me she was 19," Taylor, said in court as he admitted having sex with a prostitute who turned out to be a 16-year-old Bronx runaway.
