Crime in Sports

This week, we barrel down the path of a man who started life, in the worst of circumstances, only to fight his way out, then fight even harder to get right back to a terrible life. Chance after chance yielded nothing but more arrests, more crack & meth, more gun play, and more jail. This is truly a tale of a person who just could not accept 'yes' as answer. He's a mess, and we love it! Have 3 kids...

This week, we shuffle down the path of pure chaos, with a self destructive, drug addled lunatic, with an unquenchable desire to be the best. Whether it be in the Australian Football League, or in the much more challenging world of smoking as much meth as possible, swimming across rivers to get away from police, or scaring his wife, and kids with his inexplicable behavior. His run of arrests is leg...

This week, we are buried in a mountain of cocaine, violence, stupidity, arrogance, and just plain crazy. A tough guy turned world champion that could never quite let go of his old friends, neighborhood, and terrible habits. He fights opponents in the ring... and police, girlfriends, wives, family foes, trainers, and even elderly motorists, outside the ring. His tale is a winding road of lunacy, an...

This week, we dive deep into the story of a man who a mediocre talent, but had a penchant for lying, and scamming that knew no bounds. He started life with everything, and went to school with movie stars, but that didn't stop him from ending up in some of the lowest situations a person could find themselves. He was both a common drug dealer, and an international counterfeiter. Born with a silver s...

This week, we tell a tale that unravels into a downpour of disaster, and stupidity. A fighter who cared more about being entertaining, than being successful. And he was entertaining, as long as you weren't a woman, a bouncer, a police officer, a SWAT Team member, a church, or the owner of a tattoo shop. He's a menace to polite society, but an absolute gem for our purposes. Idolize Jean Claude Van...

This week, we explore a story without much sports, but with plenty of nasty, lowdown, dirty crime. He was an amateur bodybuilder, a con man, a hustler, a cat burglar, and a cold blooded killer. His obsession with a girlfriend leads him to unimaginable places. Places like stalking, threatening, breaking in & holding a teenager at gunpoint... and worse. So much worse. This story has it all. Tragedy,...

This week, we look at a country club frequenting, high society mingling, high stakes gambling, cocktail sipping, cocaine snorting, womanizing kind of guy. A wanna be James Bond that had neither the resources, nor brains to pul off that kind of lifestyle. He lied to everyone that he ever met, swindled money from anyone that he possibly could, and ruined every relationship that he ever had. He start...

This week, we wade into aggressive, and dangerous waters, with a man who simply could not wait to blow every chance he was given, and do more, and worse things wrong. He worked hard to get himself out of a bad situation, only to put himself, and others in an even worse situation. His crimes are incomprehensible. His responses are downright infuriating. He's a mean drunk, and he's not afraid to use...

This week, we explore the inner workings, and outer actions of a man who was on the cusp of what he worked his whole life for, only to have it all pulled away. What caused him to spin out of control? Drugs? Alcohol? Steroids? Mental Illness? Brain Damage? The answer is yes. Yes to all of those things, making one of the most flammable cocktails ever put together by a criminal athlete. And making fo...

This week, we say thank you to our listeners with an extra large, extra long, extra crazy episode, featuring a man who truly made it to the top of the world, only to swiftly chop it up into tiny pieces, and flush it down the nearest toilet. He was an Olympian, and even the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, but whether it was ego, upbringing, or just plain old fashioned brain damage, it...

This week, we navigate a dark path of deception, thievery, drugs, and just plain vile murder. A man that ran from his problems, his whole life, including joining another country's military to outrun authorities, and creditors. And it only got worse from there, culminating in a horrific scene, in a Thai hotel room, followed by a manhunt, and an attempt at the death penalty. This story is so crazy t...

This week, we try to answer the age old question of whether this person is evil, or just a complete idiot. He was in and out of jail, before he was even out of high school, and it only got worse from there. Multiple arrests for various incidents of violence, and craziness derailed his career, but makes for a lot of fun, as long as you're not one of the people who has to spend time with him, on a d...

This week, we navigate one of the most truly miraculous stories in the history of sports, or any other medium. Don't worry, he went from having Levar Burton play him in a big TV movie, and having a best selling autobiography, to being frequently arrested at inopportune times, and generally sliding into a hole of despair. And it's hilarious! Do drugs, hang out with gangsters, and disappoint Levar B...

This week, we go down a deep hole of rage, and crazy. We look deep into the past to break down a man from a different time, that tended to react poorly to unwanted news, to say the least. He was a hero in his country, but threw it all away, and ended up being handed the most severe penalty in CIS history!! Sticky up your wicket, move in with your mother in law, and shoot at the moon with Leslie Hy...

This week, we look at a woman who went from the glory of Olympic promise, and the potential admiration of her entire country to being wrestled to the ground after fighting with a police officer about the legality of petting his horse. And that's the least crazy thing she's done! Find out what happens when systemic abuse is ignored, and mixed with the fire of a truly unhinged person... It's a deadl...

This week, we look into a man that has somehow managed to sweep all of his many crimes, ranging from the idiotic to the downright disgraceful, under the rug. He screws up, and the world was always all too ready to forget the criminal behavior, and forgive him. He left a trail of disappointment, and police reports, leading all the way to unexpected places. Including the basketball hall of fame. Som...

This week, we go deep into a mystery, that doesn't actually seem to be much of a mystery, at all. He was a hero, an idol, a champion, and a teammate of OJ Simpson. Problem is, he has way more in common with OJ than just playing on the same team. His crimes cause his children to despise him so much that they took it to court. It's a twisted tale of death, and deception... So much fun!!Attend your o...

This week, we take a long, hard look at someone who committed crimes ranging from the scary, to the downright hilarious. He had such a promising life, before realizing that he'd much rather be arrested, feared, and eventually homeless, and menacing the downtown of a major city. Stay tuned until the very end, because this story ends with some crimes that have never been committed on Crime In Sports...

This week, we explore someone who fell from the highest of mountains, and ended up in the lowest of depths. He was "The Fastest Man In The World", an Olympic gold medalist, had a rich, famous, talented wife, his own Nike commercial, and was even touted by Oprah as a national hero. That was before he decided to be involved in a giant criminal conspiracy, resulting in a huge federal sting, and tons...

This week, we head into a wilderness of horrors with possibly the most deplorable, disgusting, and down right horrid human being that we've ever had the pleasure of verbally destroying. The level of utter disdain this man has for any form of decency is startling, and revolting. He was awful at his job. He was awful in the world. He's just awful. And we treat him as such. Enjoy!!Sell your scrap met...

This week, we take a ride down lunatic lane with a man who can't help but commit some kind of crime , at every turn. This is a man who was discovered in the worst of conditions, rose to the point of success, before making sure to blow every single opportunity he was given. You'll be impressed with him, and maybe even grow to like him... but that won't last. An idiot is an idiot, and idiots are our...

This week, we navigate through a story of a promising, intelligent young man, who much preferred hanging out with gang members, and going to prison, than being a success. His carelessness, need for petty vengeance, and proclivity to pull loaded weapons on teammates, results in not only disappointment from everyone who ever encountered our subject, but also a twisted tale of robbery, and revenge, t...

This week, we ride the wave of a tale of deception, scamming, lies, and a constant need to commit crimes. He was a brash, dashing, anti-establisment type, with morals that can most favorably be described as questionable, at best. His fraudulence knew no bounds, including stealing the food right out of people's freezers. He was in 10 Hollywood movies, but ended up with Academy Award, not by winning...

This week, we dig deep on a story so bizarre, unlikely, and just plain insane, that we weren't sure if it was real for minute. Thankfully, it's real, and its's as much crazy as can be packed into one episode. An unknown baseball prospect, from the sugar cane fields of Louisiana, turns out to have more about him that nobody knew, like a lengthy criminal record, that includes everything from the pet...

This week, we check out a story full of twists, turns, and bumps, all of which lead to disaster, and many, many arrests. His body matured much faster than his brain, causing him, and everyone around him nothing but problems.
