Crime in Sports

This week, we look at the wild, crazy life of a man who was trained since before birth for basketball greatness. He also loves to put his foot in his mouth, should stay off social media, for his own good, and he should absolutely, positively NEVER drive a car. From a tragic, and awful accident, with criminal implications, to fights with fans at 4am. He has it all! Despite all of this, he's pretty...

This week, we check out a man who is known very little for his brief MMA career, but he is a "superstar" of crime. After washing out of the lowest levels of MMA, he takes a job at Home Depot, meeting some new friends, and trying to lead a normal life. He meets some new friends, while selling them a barbecue, which to a night of heavy drinking, and good times. The problem is, at the end of the nigh...

This week, we look at a guy who was so rough in Rugby, that he ended up having to become a boxer, in the middle of his career. He fought, threw cheap shots, and even used his fingers for purposes that certainly aren't legal, in any sport. He also consorted with alleged drug dealers, beat people outside of bars, and had quite an interesting trip to the local grocery store. But that's just the *fing...

This week, we look over the career & crazy times of a man who saw nothing but success in the NFL. An all pro, super bowl champion & apparent hang out buddy of Peyton Manning. Off the field, it's getting so drunk that you can't remember punching a cab driver, as he drove 75 mph on the interstate, or gun play in a strip club parking lot, or teaming with your mother to try to shoot your sister's boyf...

This week, we look at story that is deep in underground criminal lore. An English kickboxer, with international titles, but we barely have time for any sports, due to this episode being packed with crime. Wall to wall. His main occupation was robbing drug dealers for very large amounts of cash & product. Sometimes, needing to torture the unsuspecting dealer with a clothes iron. He claims to the ma...

This week, we look at hall of fame player, who was the best at what he did, from the second he stepped on to a basketball court. The world bent over backwards to show him love, and let him off the hook, at every turn. He had a very public marriage, even hosting a TV show, with his wife. But under the surface, there was allegations of a decade of abuse, with implements of violence ranging all the w...

This week, we tell the story of a man who was so athletically talented, that he just couldn't decide between basketball & football. He chose football, and said it was a dream come true. But as soon as he was in the NFL, he was also in the back of a lot police cars. Whether trolling the streets, in the middle of the night, for a ladies, and possibly crack cocaine, or sexually attacking a teammate's...

This week, we tell the odd story of a man, who came to another country, as a small child, grew up in foster care, and ran the streets, putting himself in all kinds of dangerous situations. Luckily, he ended up a champion boxer, with an exciting, crowd pleasing style, and a growing fan base. So... What's the problem, right? Well, there was a whole lot about his past, that people weren't aware of. L...

This week, we explore the story of a man, who overcame his lack of looks, size & charisma to become one of the biggest wrestling stars, in the world, winning both WCW & WWE heavyweight titles. He had fame, money & a nice family, but there was something brewing inside of him that would lead to him committing the most horrid & depraved act imaginable, by wiping out his family, them himself, over the...

This week, we tell a story that starts differently from most of our episodes. Instead of being a renowned athlete, from an early age, he was a decent high school athlete, then joined the military, as a firefighter, where he did tours in Iraq. He also began fighting. His skills were just right for the burgeoning business of MMA, and he landed a spot on UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter", where his strang...

This week, we explore the life of an unlikely World Series hero, who took all that good will, and flushed it directly down the toilet. A love of booze & amphetamines led to a tough transition to a life, after baseball. He never quite adjusted. A very public divorce & stalking arrest tarnished his image, but that pales in comparison to the time that he killed that lady, with his car, after hanging...

This week, we check into a man, who worked his way onto an NFL roster, almost exclusively on the back of his ability to use his body, with reckless abandon, to take down, and preferably hurt, opposing players. Some cracks began to appear, while still playing. He attacked a reporter, and fought with coaches & teammates. But once he retired, the full impact that his physical style began to show, on...

This week, we look into the life of a man, was in trouble since middle school, and kept a steady pace of police interaction, through pretty much his whole life, so far. He came from bad circumstances, being called "crusty" as a kid, but used basketball to overcome that situation, making himself an extremely wealthy man, in the process. All of that, and he never left his friends behind. Which sound...

This week, we check out the life of the man who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the Rocky character. He came from the streets, liking a barroom brawl even more than a fight in the ring. In boxing, he was known mainly for two things, being the bloodiest fighter, maybe in boxing history, and getting a shot, out of nowhere, to fight Muhammad Ali, for the heavyweight championship of the world! Ju...

This week, we head under the mask, with a hockey goalie, who is a perfectionist, a hall of famer, and a huge drunk, who causes problems at hotels, and seems very willing to fight police officers. He was a hero, wherever he played, and that seems to be part of the problem, because even judges would tell him what a hero he was, while they were sentencing him. He persevered, though. And his latest ar...

This week, we look at a man who was once the most famous human being, on the planet Earth. He was a hero of his country, and many others, as well. Given godlike status by fans, all over the world, his soccer prowess was unmatched, but so was his ego, and passion for partying. Cocaine, ladies of the night, and plenty of mafioso friends led him down a path of excess that got him in trouble with poli...

This week, we check in with a man who came from an athletic family, and followed in his father's footsteps, by going to dad's alma mater. All seemed set for a great career, and a good relationship with the community. The football didn't pan out quite like he thought, but the off the field violence does. Terrifying accounts of a very large, very drunk, very angry man, with a propensity for violence...

This week, we race into disaster, with an Englishman, who went from managing a car dealership, to running his own champion race team. But racing is an expensive sport to maintain, he found that out, first hand. His solution? Smuggle huge amounts of cocaine, in your car parts, while returning from other countries. Just when you thought he learned his lesson, he is busted, in a sleazy way, a trunk f...

This week, we tell one of the most incredible stories, in history. Not just sports. He grew up with 18 brothers & sisters, in a good family, but he took to the streets, being convicted of murder, before any thought of a sports career took place. His rise from teenaged murderer, to fighting Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title is remarkable. But not as remarkable as the fact that he wasn't done g...

This week, we check out a guy, who was already signing autographs, while in the 6th grade. A prodigy, and phenom, on the level of Lebron James, but he could never quite live up to the hype. Instead, he screwed up. A lot. He seems to have particular liking of guns, specifically carrying them, in places that he shouldn't, such as planes, or New York City. He beefed with rappers, hung out with celebr...

This week, we look at a man who went from being a two time World Series champion, and the pride of his hometown, to being an embarrassment, to all concerned. His upbringing was one for the ages, complete with some things that not even we have heard about, before. His end in baseball came quickly, but his life of crime spans a good 20 years. Somehow, he thinks it's just fine to steal directly from...

This week, we check out a very well known wrestlers, who worked for both WWF (at the time), and WCW, being on tv, just about every week, for more than 10 years, after his football career ended. He was known for his incredible physique, and also his incredible arrogance. It all came tumbling down, in a haze of pills, booze & steroids. From driving 167 MPH, to having a large stash of drugs found in...

This week, we dip back into the brain damage sports, with a longtime NFL player, who just happens to be a REALLY terrible person! He says all the right things, but they all seem to not be true. Like when he said that he didn't kick his girlfriend, in the head, because she wanted to feed their newborn baby at 4am, or when he said he didn't try to run that woman, on that bicycle down, with his SUV,...

This week, we quickly get into a short, but insanely funny story, about an aspiring MMA fighter, who figured out a new kind of attack, on his roommate. Then, we catch you up on what some of our favorite CIS subjects, from the past, have been doing. Turns out, they've been getting arrested. A lot! Hear all the crazy details of new crimes by Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Adrien Broner,...

This week, we explore one of the most interesting, strange & wild careers that we've ever heard of, combined with a private life that can easily be described as "erratic". He has more arrests than you can count, but one thing remains true, that he's self destructive, but very nice person. An Olympic gold medalist, and member of a legendary boxing family. He became heavyweight champion of the world...
