Crime in Sports

This week, we explore the life of a woman who came from nothing, and ended up right at the edge of greatness... Then she fell off that edge. A troubled early life led to a troubled adult life, including drinking while doing everything, aggressiveness with both baseball bats & hubcaps, and what appears to be way too much video poker playing. Oh! And then there was that whole clubbing of an Olympic...

This week, we peek around a blind corner, only to be engulfed by anger, violence, and just plain crazy! A man from humble beginnings that made it to the big time, but let his considerable demons get in the way. A fast, but escalating trail of violence, death, and one of the craziest kidnapping plots that we've ever heard. Not to mention, we find out about the only drink worse than a rat poison coc...

This week, we check out a guy who seemed completely benign to outside observer. He accomplished his dream of making it to the NHL, even if his career wasn't the most distinguished. The problem was, there was something truly evil, beneath the surface. His crimes are shocking, and his punishment isn't quite satisfactory. He ends up being a guy who is excessively easy to dislike!! Live every Canadian...

This week, we look at a potential Rocky, who fell a bit short of the mark on a professional level, but way short on a societal one. He was someone that you could root for. A blue collar fighter, with a tough chin, and day job, but something went wrong along the way. Drugs, steroids, and eventually violence landed him in jail for murder, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. This is a one wild st...

This week, we look at a man who had the potential to be a legendary figure in his sport, but he was prevented from doing so. First, he was prevented by the NCAA, NFL, and the federal court system, then he was prevented by his own inexplicable actions. From robbery, to a crazy night with an arsenal in his car, and a stand off with police. It's a roller coaster ride of rooting for a guy, only to hav...

This week, we drive to the hoop with a man who was liked by everyone he came across. Teammates loved him. Coaches adored him. He worked hard, played his role, and always helped others, making him an All-American, an Olympian, and an NBA player... Until he made a massive mistake that resulted in an unspeakable tragedy. He seems to get back on track, but eventually gun shots ring out, and cocaine is...

This week, we cruise down the road, at top speed, as we look at the life, career, and crimes (mostly crimes) of a man who participated in one of the largest, most well organized criminal capers in history. As if that wasn't enough, once he got out of prison, his need for action picked back up, with schemes, a bad marriage, and finally a very violent & scary episode, that landed him back in prison....

This week, we explore the winding path of insanity with a man who was a champion in his sport. He was a pioneer of what is now a major sports entity. He was also a lunatic, who seemed to lose his mind, all at once, and sink into the quicksand of crimes, and irrationality. This all culminates with one crazy night, that leaves a family shattered, a hammer bloodied, and casino in dire need of some re...

This week, we stagger down a path of wasted opportunities, and squandered goodwill, with a man who came from a very unstable background to be the best pitcher in his league at one point. He was well liked, and quiet, but that may have just been because he was a few too many pills to be any other way. You root for him, and he disappoints at every turn. It's a sad but hilarious tale of a big fall fr...

This week, we check into a world of pure lunacy, with a man who was an Olympic hopeful, and can't miss future prospect. No matter what he does, he does it while talking. Then when he's done, he talks about it a little more. From posting his own mugshot info on Instagram, to literally flushing money down the toilet. And that's not even the illegal things... like robbery, assault, groping, weapons,...

This week, we look at a man that overcame the odds of a tough upbringing, to make it all the way to the top! The problem is that he seemed to want to be a criminal, even though he didn't have to be. While looking for a little excitement, after retirement, he falls in with some gangsters, resulting in some of the most brutal behavior in CIS history. It's murder & mayhem, this week... Enjoy!! Mentor...

This week, we head to the playground to check out a guy that you just want to root for, until he messes up. Again, and again. He was a street ball legend that transitioned his on court game to the pros, but never transitioned his off court game. From some stupid mistakes, and questionable arrests, to some real violence, and scary actions. His fighting spirit served him much better, while playing,...

This week, we explore the world of a guy who had the world seemingly handed to him, and just couldn't wait to give it right back. H became from a privileged background, and had every opportunity to have all the best in life, but chose to assault a young lady, threaten a police officer's family, and shooting a fellow party goer... And that's all before he even played professional sports! This one i...

This week, we head down a slippery path of self destruction, and personality defects, from a man who came from a farm, in the middle of nowhere, to earn a name in his chosen profession... And that's where the good ends. He took advantage of fellow wrestlers, treated everyone terribly that crossed his path, and leveled unspeakable horrors on his family. He's a bad guy, who does bad things, but we m...

This week, we keep being surprised by our subject's antics... until it isn't surprising anymore. He was undersized, but scrappy, and had a chance to have a great, and long career, but injuries derailed all of that. Well, injuries, and a whole lot of booze. His drinking leading to unspeakable acts of public embarrassment, ridicule & jail time. He's a disaster, which is bad for him & those around hi...

This week, we are overwhelmed by a mushroom cloud of things that could have been... and unfortunately, the things that actually were. One of the most highly touted baseball prospects in history. A sure fire hall of famer, that never actually threw a major league pitch. Instead, he does stupid things in trailer parks, gets arrested for federal crimes. It's one of the sadder, therefore, more hilario...

This week, we navigate through a story that includes cocaine, heroin, cheerleaders, gangsters, potential hit men, and much more! He started out in a great family, went to great schools, and lived his dream. So, of course, that meant he had to figure out some way to screw it all up, and he did that with incredible vigor, and swiftness. Check out the remnants of a once great life, destroyed by stupi...

This week, we ride a roller coaster of emotions, as we root for, then despise this man, who was born disabled, and went on to play in the NBA. Unfortunately for him, and everyone around him he was still lacking in whatever that thing is that makes you not get arrested all the time. Fortunately for us, all of this stupidity was very public, and fortunately for you, we've put the whole story togethe...

This week, we peel back the layers of a man who was incredibly promising, and even personable... until something caused him to change. Was it brain damage? Cocaine? The ghosts in his basement? Shockingly, those are all possibilities, as this story grows stranger & stranger, before finally spinning out of control, and ensnaring everyone from the next door neighbor to the family dog. Strap in, becau...

This week, we chase down the story of a man who had a desire to drive fast, live hard, and break many federal laws. He was an outcast in his sport for not being enough of a redneck, while his actions project nothing but redneck to the rest of the world. He made plenty of mistakes... and ultimately made them again... and again. This is a fun one, full of crazy characters!! Put the pedal to he floor...

This week, we dig deep to find a story of pure crazy. Gangsters with cartoon character names, street violence, and a brutally beaten physics professor. This man started a beef with the silliest sounding gangster in the entire world, but didn't learn his lesson, and kept on with his antics, and insanity, leading to a stabbing, a shooting & more! This is truly one of the weirdest & most hilarious st...

This week, we climb a mountain of arrogance & stupid behavior, with a man who thought incredibly highly of himself, maybe because he made millions of dollars, and dated a pop star. Of course, he blew every penny, and that pop star burned his mansion to the ground. That's just par for this guy's course, as he makes every wrong decision possible, and comes out worse, in the end! Tell everyone how gr...

This week, we navigate through a torrential downpour of arrests, ejections & general craziness. He started out promising, but soon his temper got the best of him, and seemingly took over every aspect of his life. His explosive reactions are mind boggling, as is his relentless need for control while at home. This one is a log jam of insanity!! Always react violently to anything that you don't like,...

This week, we hang on tight for a wild ride with a man who never met a fight that he didn't like... including with police officers, and just about every player in the NHL. He was wilder off the ice, than on it. His saga is one of constant relapses of drugs, alcohol, and bad decisions, leading to tons of arrests, and illegal things, hidden in his underwear!! Punch everyone that you can, never get b...

This week, we peek in at the downhill slide of a person who seemed to have it all. She had brains, talent, beauty, hard work, dedication to her craft, and all the success that comes from those attributes. Unfortunately, those qualities also came with a rip roaring drug & alcohol problem that led to professional downfall, regrettable personal behaviors, and a LOT of arrests. This is a wild ride!! F...
