Crime in Sports

This week, we are bursting with crime, madness, general mayhem, as we discuss a man that couldn't help but give in to his demons. No good time was good enough for him to not end in violence. His crimes were almost always fueled by alcohol, and drugs, and their severity only got worse with his appetites. Let's just say that he didn't quite live up to his nickname of "Gentleman". He went from a prom...

This week, we check out a tale of lies, manipulation, and woe that leads a man from being a first round NFL draft pick, to being a regular resident of federal prison, leaving behind a mountain of victims, and shattered lives. His ego is huge, his crimes are monumental. It's a story that keeps taking weirder, and weirder turns, and eventually involves Hitler, ex-US Supreme Court Nominee Harriet Mie...

This week, we explore a dark tale of violence, betrayal, and most of all, irony. A rough childhood, plus lousy impulse control, and a heaping helping of mental illness, equals a boxer who was too crazy for the ring. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, he wasn't exactly a superstar of regular society, either. His final crime is one of the most horrible, and deplorable things we've ever talked...

This week, we take a look at a man who was as much of a failure on the basketball court as he was in life. His career was short, but that just left him more time to pursue other activities, such as finding crack, smoking crack, then finding ways to get more crack. He was a menace to any polite society, especially the poor pizza delivery men of Los Angeles. It's sad, twisted, sordid tale of human d...

This week, we are up to our eyes in crime, mayhem, and overall craziness. Our subject was a fighter, in every way possible. From the UFC, to being stabbed in bar brawls. He was a troubled kid, turned major underworld figure, with a record that ranges from simple loitering, to extreme violence, to masterminding the largest crime of its kind, in the history of the world. A character, a lunatic, and...

This week, we take a stroll down the path of complete human disaster with a man who let his love of cocaine, and cocaine related idiocy destroy every one of his many opportunities for success. He took the chance to be a Super Bowl hero, and flushed it directly down the toilet, then things somehow got worse... His needs took him down a sad, sordid trail of living in his car, bagging groceries, and...

This week, delve deep into a story unlike any other we've done. Sure, his crimes are just as vicious, and definitely just as stupid, but more than anyone else, he didn't have to do any of it. He was an immigrant, from a war torn country, that earned a graduate's degree from Harvard, and millions of dollars, only to have his life devolve into a mess of drug smuggling, running from the law, shooting...

This week, we find ourselves in an avalanche of craziness. The story has so many twists, and turns that it's sometimes difficult to figure out where to direct our scorn. An NHL player's murder for hire plot gone wrong, amongst a backdrop of mental illness, abuse, and a relationship between a hockey player, and his coach/agent that falls somewhere between life partners, and cult leader/follower. It...

This week, we have an extra long episode, full of extra crime, and stupidity, featuring a man that has been weaving in, and out of legal troubles for five decades. He goes from having one of the best seasons in baseball history, to decades of scandal, and prison, for things like bookmaking, cocaine distribution, extortion, money laundering, fugitive smuggling, and much more, including a Secret Ser...

This week, we take a gander at a champion, movie star, hero to millions in his country... And violent lunatic. He went from utter poverty, to reaching god-like status, with his violence going unchecked. No one was safe from his wrath, including photographers at Christmas parties, people who want nothing more than to eat pizza, fellow bus passengers, construction workers who try to negotiate the pr...

This week, we look at possibly the biggest lunatic that we've ever had the pleasure of researching. Don't let his past as a mediocre professional wrestler fool you, his real career was drug trafficking, extortion, violence, murder, the bombing of a police station, and possibly being the greatest used Jeep salesman in the history of North America. This episode is chock full of murderous, revenge se...

This week, we have wall to wall crime, as we discuss a most horrid individual. A man who went from the highs of being a Super Bowl champion, to the lows of working the overnight shift in a small town gas station, repeated arrests for the most terrible of crimes, selling his championship ring on eBay, and finally earning a prison sentence that won't have him free for decades. This episode is so jam...

This week, we peek into the world of a man who had more than his fair share of what he called "personal problems". These problems overtook a once promising NBA career, and sent him to much less glamorous places, such as Binghamton, NY, and prison. Find out why he would flee from a hospital with a gaping stab wound in his neck, or why he just couldn't seem to ever be anywhere that he was supposed t...

This week, we look at an Olympic gold medalist, and world class human garbage pile. He went from being one of his country's biggest heroes, to being known for his heinous crimes, including the international smuggling of women, and putting together plots to kidnap billionaire's daughters for ransom. Just when you think he can't be any worse of a person, he becomes friends with some even worse peopl...

This week, we tackle a story that is more twisted than a pretzel. What happens when you mix a former NFL player, with the fiance of wealthy, older businessman? We'll give you a hint... It's not good for the wealthy, older businessman. Join us for a tale of manipulation, tawdry affairs, and cold blooded murder. These are bad people, and we are going to give them what's coming to them. Or, we'll jus...

This week, we take deep look at a violent, arrogant, aggressive, spoiled man that represents all that we loathe about criminal athletes. His prowess as a serial assaulter, and complete moron far overshadow his impressive gifts on the soccer field. He boasts a string of arrests, starting from the age of 17 that announce his presence as a true danger to not only teammates, and any women he may lay e...

This week, we take a long, hard look at one of the most irredeemable, horrid, quasi-human beings that we've ever covered. He was a prodigy in the boxing ring, as well in the legal system. From his struggles with substances, to his much bigger struggles with not entering women's homes, in the middle of the night, he proved himself to be unfit for any society on earth. No matter how many horrors he...

This week, we take a deep look at a man with an upbringing so horrible, that he could challenge anyone is CIS history. When your mother is a prostitute, and you grow up with no plumbing, the only thing left to do is... Crack. A lot of crack. This is guy who was deemed too crazy, even for Mexico. It's a fun adventure through the the wildness of the sex crazed, coke fueled 1980's, that leads to some...

This week, we dive into the glamorous world of the 1980's south Florida drug smuggling, fast boat driving, money laundering, tax evading, murderous kind of lifestyles. Our main subject drove boats at over 100 mph, as both a sport, and a lucrative drug empire. His organization made untold millions, while ultimately ending up in violence, one of the most daring prison escape attempts in history, and...

This week, we look at a former NFL player, who went from selling crack at age 9... to an even worse result. He beat the odds of his horrific upbringing, only to run through about every crime possible, during his Jekyll and Hyde life. His inexplicaple stupidity, mixed with his complete disregard for the law make him as bad a guy as we've ever covered. Stick around to hear what finally earned him th...

This week, we dig deep with a man who went from being heavyweight champion of the world, and star of a Rocky movie... to drinking, driving, drugging, beating, biting, toting guns, and so much more. Not to mention his completely untrained, and unqualified medical opinion on the HIV that he swears he doesn't have... but does. But what do you expect when even your mother had a murder charge? This is...

This week, we give you a basketball player with talent so large, that it was equalled only by his crazy. From robbing while wearing his high school jacket... with his name on it... to guns at the airport, porn thievery, pimping, assaults, and more cocaine than you knew a man could possibly ingest. Great quotes. Pure crazy. Lessons never learned. The perfect CIS subject! Put on your fur coat, jump...

This week, we check out a top tier bodybuilder, who was known as a hot head, with a checkered past, that included everything from public fist fights with friends, to running an ecstasy ring, and eventually joining forces with his fitness model wife to commit one of the most horrific crimes possible, with an attempted cover up that tested the limits of duct tape. Buy up all the lighter fluid in tow...

This week, we take a deep look at one of the biggest human disasters in the history of the NFL, sports, and general mankind. This all time draft bust has a 30 year legacy of professional disappointment, thievery, deception, degenerate behavior, and a trail of destroyed lives, and families that could challenge any person that Crime In Sports has ever, or will ever explore. With victims ranging from...

This week, we hit the water for a professional surfer, who has put together the craziest tale we've covered, so far. "Murph the Surf" went from a 1960's Miami playboy, and beach bum, to the world's most famous high dollar jewel thief, prolific stick up man, subject of a Hollywood film, and cold blooded murderer. It's a crazy, funny, insane journey through the decades. Slather on the tanning oil, s...
