Crime in Sports ·

2023/08/01

This week, we look at a a man who played a sport that we didn't know existed. He ended up being the guy to take the sport of snooker from a stuffy, not televised bore, into a televised, slightly less boring event! He was a colorful, charismatic player who was the Happy Gilmore of snooker. He also smoked 4 packs a day, punched refs, threw plates at spectators, beat his girlfriend with a hairdryer, and committed "the slowest suicide in sports history"!! Start hanging out in dive bars at age 10,

#365 - The Real President - Delonte West

Crime in Sports ·

2023/07/25

This week, we catch up with a guy who most people last saw, in a video, being beaten in the street, rather than being in the NBA Finals, next to Lebron James, and possibly Lebron's mom, as well! There is no way not to feel for a guy who clearly has some mental issues to deal with, but he has to help himself before it's too late. In the meantime, he continues to get arrested, and say absolutely outlandish things, like yelling at police officers that he "is the real President"! Be a most unlikely

Crime in Sports ·

2023/07/18

This week, we check out the life of a man who had a horrible start to his life. He ended up, understandably, full of anger at the world, that he channeled into overcoming gigantic odds, and fighting his way into a big time college football program. This leads to NFL success, and a seemingly great life, but he always had something, just under the surface, that wouldn't let him reach his full potential. This all results in a crazy, and sad ending!! Have one of the worst childhoods possible, be

#363 - Public Housing Superstar - Vida Blue

Crime in Sports ·

2023/07/11

This week, we look at a legendary baseball player, who had skill, style, a really nasty fastball, and an appetite for cocaine, and driving drunk. He was plagued by playing for one of the cheapest owners in history, even qualifying for public housing, while having an MVP & Cy Young Award winning season, while this owner tried to get him to change his name to something more marketable. Life looked bright, but he couldn't get out of his own way. Did he ever turn it around? A crazy tale of 1970s

#362 - Butter Bongs & Bar Fights - "Dr. Death" Steve...

Crime in Sports ·

2023/07/04

This week, we look at someone who was thought to be the toughest man alive, by just about everyone who ever met him. A college football player/wrestler, who made his mark in pro wrestling, all over the world. He was as beloved as he was feared. We'll hear all about too many bar/street fights to count, not mention how a person gets caught at customs, with a lot of drugs... THREE times! Be an amazing athlete at every sport you try, insist that copious amounts of drugs can be taken to other

Crime in Sports ·

2023/06/27

This week, we tell the rest of the tale of a man who achieved great success, at the same time as he seemingly began to lose his mind, with strange interactions, violent encounters, and horrible accusations. One woman allegedly jumped off a yacht to escape his wrath, while we also found out that no NBA mascot is safe with this guy around. He's wealthy, arrogant, and possibly completely insane!! Start your own whiskey, invite an Italian DJ to a party, then punch him in the face, then be accused of

#360 - They Have A Disease - Conor McGregor: Part 1

Crime in Sports ·

2023/06/20

This week, we check out the happenings of a guy who gained worldwide fame, seemingly overnight. He quickly became the UFC's biggest draw, with both his aggressive fighting style, and brash persona. But did he start believing his own press? He fought a silly spectacle against Floyd Mayweather, then it all starts to go downhill. This week, we take you through his start, fame, and the beginning of the coming disaster!! Come from blue collar beginnings, rise to worldwide fame, and have Dana White

#359 - Not In Favor Of Pregnancy - Jerrod Mustaf

Crime in Sports ·

2023/06/13

This week, we look at a man who had very large aspirations, but didn't quite have the talent to make them a reality. He was raised to be strong, and politically active, but he may have taken the "strength" part a little too seriously. He's had numerous accusations of violence, usually against women, who are usually pregnant. Finally, he is "allegedly" tangled in the murder plot of a woman, who was pregnant with his baby, that hangs over his head, to this very day! Have your father want you to

#358 - Nelly Drove Him To This - Greg Hardy

Crime in Sports ·

2023/06/06

This week, we look at a guy who is responsible for some of the weirdest 911 calls that have been made, and a man who will probably snap on you, if he hears even a single note of a Nelly song. He showed all the football talent that you can have, and promptly made himself a pariah in the NFL. He moved on to MMA, where he shows considerably less talent. And eventually, to Walmart, where he claims he's just learning how to be a tycoon! Become an NFL star, after a huge season, immediately make

#357 - Publicly Doing His Worst - Gervonta "Tank" Davis

Crime in Sports ·

2023/05/30

This week, we seem to climb inside an episode of "The Wire" to check out a West Baltimore boxer, who came from a terrible start, but found the neighborhood boxing gym, eventually freeing him from the cycle of poverty & drugs. Sounds like a nice story, right? Not so fast. He's also been accused of beating women, fighting in the streets, driving poorly, and leaving an injured pregnant woman inside of a car that he just crashed into!! Beat the odds by getting out of your terrible neighborhood,

#356 - A Disastrous Double Down - Tas & Ben Pappas

Crime in Sports ·

2023/05/23

This week, we check out a couple of wild men. A pair of skateboarding Aussie brothers, who shot to the top of the rankings while doings copious amounts of drugs, and trying to start fist fights with Tony Hawk. This all leads to even more drugs, bad marriages, smuggling, jail, and murder! It's a wild ride, that seems to have one unpredictable thing, after another, including how each brother ends up! Be a pro athlete at age 12, find a taste for fame & drugs, then murder your prostitute

#355 - The Devil Has A New Name - Sergio Mitre

Crime in Sports ·

2023/05/16

This week, we discuss the worst, most vile, disgusting, repugnant, repulsive, abhorrent, disturbing, awful, and terrible person that we've ever discussed. He was an MLB player, who never quite lived up to his early hype, before bouncing around the Mexican leagues. But the real story is his sickening life, and final horrifying crime. The facts are certainly not for the easily squeamish!! Seriously. Be a baseball phenom, flame out of the majors, and commit a crime so bad, that even rival prison

#354 - Throw Your Problems Into The River - Kenny Britt

Crime in Sports ·

2023/05/09

This week, we look at an NFL player, who seemed to wait until he got to the NFL to start getting into trouble, and making a general fool of himself. He's had so many police interactions, that he might as well have joined a department. His driving is a major problem, but his attitude, and the company he keeps are what really screw him up. Did he bail out a friend, who was accused of throwing a stabbed teenager into the Hudson River? It's this kind of publicity that made him a constant problem for the

#353 - Crazy Father, Stupid Son - DeShawn Stevenson

Crime in Sports ·

2023/05/02

This week, we catch up with a modern guy, who had a hard time, from the start. Mainly because he didn't know his father, but that was probably a good thing, considering how absolutely insane his father turned out to be. He came to the NBA right out of high school, but never quite became the star he thought he'd be. He did turn out to be one of the luckiest guys, to get away with what he did, and receive such a minimal penalty. You'll be yelling "450" at every dumb thing you see, from now on!! Be

#352 - Loss, Death & Conspiracy - Sonny Liston: Part 3

Crime in Sports ·

2023/04/25

This week, we finish up what is maybe the strangest, and most crime soaked life, in sports history. He shows the holiday spirit by fighting an entire police squad, on Christmas Day. He also is involved in one of the most iconic, and controversial fights, in history, against Ali. Did he throw the fight? Did the mafia make him? The Nation of Islam? In the end, Sonny winds up dead, in a terrible condition. Which leads to even more conspiracies? Was it a simple OD? Heart problems? Or, was he murdered

Crime in Sports ·

2023/04/18

This week, we check back in with Sonny Liston for Part 2! When we left off, last week, he was being arrested. As we kick off this week, he's getting arrested! Sense a pattern here? We cover a very strange incident, in which Sonny pretends to be a cop, and several other run ins with individual police officers. All of this, while becoming the heavyweight champion of the world, and (sort of) training for his first fight against Ali. Not to mention, his thoughts on the civil rights movement of the early

#350 - How Old Am I? - Sonny Liston - Part 1

Crime in Sports ·

2023/04/11

This week, we look at maybe the greatest sports crime personality of all time!! He was the heavyweight champion of the world, but is best known for being the guy on the mat, with Ali standing over him, in the most famous sports photo, ever. But his real profession was crime. Lots of crime. He was arrested more times than could be counted, and things only escalated, as he got older. He is, in real life, what Tupac was, in his own rhymes. The legend. The gangster. The champion! Part one is soaked with

#349 - Keep Your Pants On - Dino Ciccarelli

Crime in Sports ·

2023/04/04

This week, we skate back into the brain damage sports, with a Hall of Fame hockey player, who has definitely been done some terrible things, and has been accused of worse. The main problem appeared to be a desire, on his part, to not have his pants on, during times when his pants should most certainly be on. This leads to some angry neighbors, police surveillance, and an accusation of one of the worst things you could think of... in a limo... with 3 other players, and a 17 year old girl. Quite the

Crime in Sports ·

2023/03/28

This week, we dive back into the "brain damage sports" with a man who played both pro football, and had a decent career as a wrestler. He's a giant Minnesota guy, who grew up with many of the famous wrestlers of the 80s & 90s, but never quite broke through to the main event level. Where he is a main event talent, is in getting arrested. He has been arrested over 15 times for basically the same thing! Keep this man away from all car keys! He's certainly a menace, but a very entertaining menace,

#347 - Ukulele Versus Gun - "Lucky" Sam Crane

Crime in Sports ·

2023/03/21

This week, we go back in time to look at the life of a major league baseball player. His career ended in the 1920s, so he switched his profession to drinking, and trying to get a younger woman to like him, regardless of the fact that he's married. Not surprisingly, this ends badly, when he tracks his young lady friend to a hotel, where a ukulele playing suitor serenades the object of Sam's affection. Gunshots, ukulele beatings, and a gauntlet of good samaritans make this wild scene even more
