Guts and Glory Mar 25, 2015 Legendary figures Benjamin Franklin, Al Capone, Abraham Lincoln and Ernest Hemingway have earned their seat at the tough guy table for their no-nonsense attitudes, courage under fire and action-star antics, but who will reign supreme in this five-round face-off: the "First American" and original storm chaser, the "Great Emancipator" who got his start wrestling the baddest ruffians on the frontier, the tough-guy novelist and two-time plane crash survivor or the "untouchable" gangster and criminal mastermind?

Living on the Edge Apr 1, 2015 Neil Armstrong, Teddy Roosevelt, John Dillinger and Harry Houdini all lived life on the edge and have one thing in common: they're badass Americans.

Will one of them win all the glory, or will another competitor seize the win?

From military mavericks to pop-culture royalty, these four iconic figures carved their own paths, pushed their bodies to the limit and stared down fear in true tough-guy fashion.
