The craziest sports story of the year gets crazier

This story makes the Rick Pitino story look like nothing.

First, some background.

NBA player Dirk Nowitzki was engaged to a woman, Cristal Taylor, who turned out to have a bit of a rap sheet.

The team sources said Nowitzki's own suspicion led him to question Cristal Taylor's past while allowing her to stay in his house. Her arrest on two warrants, stemming from a probation violation and a theft charge, occurred as the Mavericks flew back from Denver.

It turns out this isn't the first professional athlete that Taylor was involved with. She had also "targeted" former NFL quarterback Tony Banks.

When their brief relationship fizzled, Banks said, Taylor began making harassing phone calls to him, his agent and even his St. Louis Rams head coach, Dick Vermeil.

Alarmed that Taylor was "trying to run my name through the mud," Banks notified team security, which learned Taylor had a criminal history and had used multiple identities.

Then Taylor said that she was pregnant with Nowitzki's baby.

And today's news?

Turns out that Taylor isn't pregnant according to medical records from the prison where Taylor is currently being held.

Crazy story.
