Ep 330#330 - All You Need Is Love... And Heroin - The Unenlightenedness of Reggie Harding
EThis week, we look at the first high school basketball player to be drafted by the NBA. The problem was, by that time, he was already accumulating a criminal record that would far surpass anything he would ever do on the basketball court. He was accused of awful things, including an allegedly doing one of those awful things to a future member of The Supremes. He never learned his lesson. Kept drinking, shooting heroin, and finally robbing drug dealers to make a living. This all ends as badly as you might think, but the story isn't over, because his son (a junior) has done even worse things!! Go straight from high school to the NBA, knock a policeman's hat off his head, and turn into your local, neighborhood Omar with Reggie Harding!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 329#329 - Drugs, Death Penalties & Shipping Fees - The Innovativeness of Reginald Spiers
EThis week, we check out one of the weirdest, craziest stories, ever! He was an Australian javelin thrower, but there isn't much sports to talk about here. Why? Because this guy did so much more. Including putting himself into a wooden box, and shipping himself COD from London, all the way to Australia. From there, he got deep into drug smuggling, with some pretty ingenious ideas. Only problem is, he keeps getting caught. Including being caught with heroin in Sri Lanka, and being sentenced to death! Did he survive to smuggle another day??

Ep 328#328 - Gangs, Guns, Patriots & Prison - The Truculentness of Aaron Hernandez
EThis week, we look at one of the violent, aggressive, and disturbing individuals, to ever enter the NFL. And that's saying something. From his early, and ongoing gang ties, to the fact that he was pretty sure he could get away with anything. He almost did get away with anything, until the bullets started flying. His best friend accused him of shooting this friend in the eye, and he was tried for 3 different murders! His prison life was just as crazy, with fights, attacks, and eventually ending it all, in a horrific way, and leaving a few notes behind! Be too crazy for football, shoot your best friend over a minor disagreement, and be convicted for the murder of another friend, while being tried for two more murders with Aaron Hernandez!!

Ep 327#327 - Popeye, Superman, Or The Devil - The Unmanageableness of "Fast" Eddie Rothman
EThis week, we catch a huge wave... of crime, with a legend of the North Shore surf scene. He has had a lot to do with tournaments, and competitions, all around the islands, but he is best known for starting what could have definitely been called a gang, consisting of local surfers, using threats & physical force to keep the waves all to the locals. The group was also accused of being a crime ring, complete with drug trafficking, and the violence to back up those activities. A gruff, tough guy, with a dark past, and one of the most harrowing childhoods ever!! Be at home on the waves, fight to keep tourists off of those waves, and beat several local, state, and federal charges, for drugs to violence with "Fast" Eddie Rothman!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 326#326 - The Most Dangerous Man In The Mafia - The Mercilessness of Joe "The Animal" Barboza
EThis week, we look at a man who was born into terrible circumstances, and only made them worse. He had a brief boxing career, but this story is all about crime, murder, mayhem, and a man who will bite your face off! He was a loanshark, bookie, and general all around New England mob associate, who spread out into murder with such ferocity that the head of the FBI called him the most dangerous man in the United States. As you might imagine, this story doesn't end well for anyone, and it ends exactly the way the rest of the story was... violently!

Ep 325#325 - Too Many Accusations, Not Enough Jail - The Slipperiness of "Jungle" Jim Rivera
EThis week, we go back in time to look at man man who grew up in an orphanage, during The Great Depression! He turned to street gangs, boxing & baseball, but WWII came calling before he could become a pro at anything. While in the Army, he was boxing champion, and convicted rapist, sentenced to life in military prison, but he gets another shot at the outside world, because he happens to be the star of the prison baseball team. A major league career, brings him some World Series glory, a cool nickname, and more sexually deviant charges. Even retirement, and old age doesn't stop more very awful charges from coming his way!! Grow up in an orphanage, even though your father is still alive, get thrown in prison, rather than fighting Hitler, and always slip out of truly disgusting accusations with "Jungle" Jim Rivera!!

Ep 324#324 - The Most Beloved Hated Man - The Impetuousness of Allen "The Answer" Iverson
EThis week, we bask in the long, successful, and insane life of a guy who was as good as it gets, on the basketball court, but a little shaky, off it. He is always fearless, and that fearlessness also translates to police, and court proceedings, Whether it's telling a police officer to go ahead, and take his Lamborghini, because he "has 10 more", or allegedly throwing his naked wife out of the house... multiple times. Or, maybe it's just running into his cousin's apartment, armed, and angry, threatening to "make an example" of someone. Whatever he does, it's a party. But not a party at Bally's Casino, because he urinated into a garbage can there, and isn't allowed back on the property!!

Ep 323#323 - Mature... Or Whatever - The Destructiveness of Aldon Smith
EThis week, we look at an NFL player, who burst onto the scene with force, becoming one of the best defensive prospects in a generation. And that's exactly what happened... For a little while, anyway. Then he started getting arrested. And kept getting arrested. Booze, violence, drugs, terrible driving, jumping from windows while holding a tequila bottle, and with possible blood, dripping from his mouth. He's become a bit of a menace, not only to himself, but anyone who accepts his wedding proposal, or comes to his house for a party. This story is loaded with crime!

Ep 322#322 - Hiding On The Top Rope - The Daringness of Jeff Hardy
EThis week, we check out a man who has kept large crowds on their toes, for decades. Whether it's diving off a 20 foot ladder onto their opponent, or being a spectacle in the local police files, he has always been one to watch! He has always been considered one of the best wrestlers, ever, but he never sticks around any promotion long enough to be the backbone, due to his constant drug/alcohol problems, and his general outright refusal to get help, even when his high paying job is on the line. He crashes, he paints himself, he can be a walking disaster! It's Jeff Hardy!! Learn to sew when you're 9 years old, refuse any help, even if your job depends on it, and ride 105 feet down a roadside guardrail with Jeff Hardy!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 321#321 - The Real Murdering McCoy - The Realness of Charles "Kid" McCoy AKA Norman Selby
EThis week, we go back to a much different time, with a man who had his first boxing match in 1891, after learning to fight against "hobos" in train cars at age 13! He wasn't some boring, old timey guy, though. He was a scammer, and a flamboyant fighter, who did many things for the first time. He invented "your shoes are untied", then knocking someone out, when they looked down. He employed thumbtacks. He was a part of fixed fights. He did it all. Including appearing in many silent films, and even teaching Charlie Chaplin to box. All of this leads to a terrible murder, of course. A murder that sends him to prison, where he does more interesting things! A wild trip down a black & white lane!! Run away from home at 13, become the first showboat of boxing, and try to convince the police that the woman you're having an affair with actually stabbed & shot herself with Charles "Kid" McCoy!!

Ep 320#320 - Jailing Nemo - The Designatedness of Nemessis Bates
EThis week, we look at the story of a man, who never quite achieved his goal to be an NFL player, did achieve a lot in the worlds of both car washing, and violence! He was involved with what could be described as "the wrong people", who were involved in an underground enterprise, so big, that the leader was considered The King of New Orleans. This was enforced with the help of a hitman, who used 2 guns, at once, and appeared in rap videos. This all leads to a confrontation over money, and Nemessis (real name!!) decides to unleash some of this organization's violent ways on the man he feels deserves it! Play for a major college program, but get injured in your senior year, make friends with the most violent gang in town, use this power to kill someone who dares to cross you with Nemessis "Nemo" Bates!!

Ep 319#319 - I'm Not Bragging - The Traumatizingness of Darryl Strawberry
EThis week, we check out the life of a man, who has had some ups and downs, to say the least. A tremendous baseball player, with all the accolades & championships, but off the field, he was anything but a champion. From wife punching, to a multi decade crack/cocaine addiction, complete with drug rehab escapes, to terrible driving. This guy spends a long time just not getting it, but will he ever come around, and ditch the demons?? Have a beautiful left handed swing, escalate all arguments with your significant other, and go to great lengths to find cocaine with Darryl Strawberry!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 318#318 - The Waterboy Lays Pipe - The Sensitiveness of J.R. Smith
EThis 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 likable, just don't ask him for a picture, on the street, or your phone may end up thrown onto the next block!!

Ep 317#317 - Bloody Bodies & Bad Excuses - The Treacherousness of Joaquin "Fire" Balassa
EThis 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 night, both of his new friends are dead, and the entire scene is soaked in blood. But he denies it all... until he decides that it was self defense, with one of the most ridiculous stories/excuses of all time!

Ep 316#316 - The Finger Of Doom - The Sanctifiedness of John Hopoate
EThis 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 *finger*tip of the iceberg, as this man has done enough crazy things for several lives, including having 11 children! Have all your kids be rugby stars, switch from one violent professional sport to another, and be able to intimidate your opponents with only a single finger with John Hopoate!!

Ep 315#315 - Dogs & Dragonflies - The Blessedness of Aqib Talib
EThis 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 boyfriend. Things like that. It's fighting with teammates, during your first 5 minutes in the NFL. He does all of this, and more, but in such an entertaining way that it's still hard not to like the guy!

Ep 314#314 - Pain Is My Best Friend - The Gumpness of Stephen "The Devil" French
EThis 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 main person to set off a famous riot, that lasted 9 days, and injured hundreds. He's just an all around bad dude.

Ep 313#313 - Weaponized Cookies & Rollover Crashes - The Egocentricness of Jason Kidd
EThis 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 way from a baseball bat, to a large cookie. In addition, he is a TERRIBLE driver, especially when he's had "a few" drinks! It's the story of a guy, who people just don't seem to like, no matter how much he accomplishes, or how many apologies he makes!

Ep 312#312 - Pimp Punching Pervert - The Deviantness of Gerald Perry
EThis 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 wife, or the babysitter this guy just doesn't understand that actions just may have consequences!

Ep 311#311 - Orgasm & Obsession - The Compellingness of Adonis "Superman" Stevenson
EThis 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. Like doing time in prison, for absolutely horrific, and downright disgusting crimes!

Ep 310#310 - Storm Clouds Gathering - The Abominableness of Chris "The Canadian Crippler" Benoit
EThis 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 course of a strange macabre weekend.

Ep 309#309 - Nobody Gonna Break My Stride - The Uniqueness of Daniel Barrera
EThis 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 strangeness first came to light. In the years to come, his behavior became more bizarre, with odd attacks, strange & violent attacks, and some of the weirdest antics, ever seen in a courtroom! Have war & fires not be quite dangerous enough for you, be the strangest guy on a reality show, and believe that you don't need medication, despite all the evidence to the contrary with Daniel Barrera!!

Ep 308#308 - Beanie Babies & Booze - The Smugness of Jim Leyritz
EThis 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 out with Playboy models! It's a real roller coaster of a story, from underdog, that you root for, to arrogant jerk, at whom you shake your head! Break your foot, right before the MLB draft, come from obscurity to become a World Series hero, and ruin all the admiration for you,. with several acts of stupidity with Jim Leyritz!!

Ep 307#307 - I Am Not Under Arrest - The Fieriness of "Mean" Gene Atkins
EThis 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 his brain. A charge of twice firebombing a business associate & long time friend. He had an epic, and disturbing showdown with police, who wanted him top stop choking & hitting his wife, with a remote control. But they didn't much better luck, with the whole thing escalating from violence to a showdown! All of this, and the NFL thinks his brain is fine!! Make it to the top of your profession on pure grit & violence, deny firebombing your friend's family home, and try your best to remember the months of the year with "Mean" Gene Atkins!!

Ep 306#306 - Defying Logic, But Not Gravity - The Insensibleness of Zach Randolph
EThis 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 sounds nice, unless your friends continue to beat, shoot, attack, street race, and be accused of even worse. He never quite understands that each arrest made it a little harder to believe that he was trying to change!

Ep 305#305 - Rocky Is Real - The Bloodiness of Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner
EThis 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! Just like Rocky! He spends the rest of his life selling liquor, legally, and for a little while, selling cocaine, illegally. A federal investigation brings an end to that, but years later, he's in hot water, again, this time for being involved with memorabilia counterfeiting!! The crazy never stops with this guy! Be tapped, out of the blue, to fight for the heavyweight title, become the inspiration for the Rocky franchise, and love to fight, any time, any place with Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner!!

Ep 304#304 - The Drunken Eagle - The Impulsiveness of Ed Belfour
EThis 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 arrest was caught on video, and it's as embarrassing as it gets! All of this, while owning a company that makes whiskey! What a mess! Work your way into being a hall of famer, sharpen your own skates, and get into "a fighting stance", if any authorities tell you to leave!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 303#303 - If Michael Jordan Was Crazy... - The Transcendentness of Diego Maradona
EThis 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 police, on multiple continents, and destroyed his health. His legend is enormous, his list of mistakes is just as impressive!! Come from nowhere to be the greatest soccer player that exists, be rich & famous beyond dreams, as a teenager, and throw it all away, with no concern for health, or legacy with Diego Maradona!!

Ep 302#302 - Meaner Than His Dogs - The Rabidness of Ray McDonald
EThis 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. The video of one of these incidents became widely available, and is quite disturbing, but he doesn't stop there... More violence, an alleged sexual attack, and even his dogs get into trouble. A complete mess! Follow in your dad's footsteps, get caught on video, being a scary, violent monster, and then get accused of even worse with Ray McDonald!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 301#301 - Smuggling, Scamming & Speeding - The Prosperousness of Vic Lee
EThis 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 full of coke, in a Holiday Inn parking lot! None of this keeps him from landing, and keeping, a prestigious job, and trying to act like an upstanding person, to anyone who will listen! Also, another update on Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, and our opinion on Mike Tyson's plane punching!! Dream of speed, and form your own racing team, smuggle coke from Holland to fund it, and never learn your lesson with Vic Lee! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 300#300 - Kill Me Twice, Shame On Me - The Recurrentness of Ron Lyle
EThis 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 getting arrested. Fights with his wives, resulting in gunplay, and falls from second story windows, and even another murder charge! It' shard to believe, but it's all real! Be convicted of murder, before your 21st birthday, somehow rise to the top of your sport, then try your hardest to end up right back in prison with Ron Lyle!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Ep 299#299 - Too Much Hype, Too Many Guns - The Marketedness of Sebastian Telfair
EThis 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 celebrities, and always ended up in trouble. He even took part in a huge financial scheme with 18 other NBA players! He's got it all!! Be the best basketball prospect, in the country, when you're 11, be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, while you're still in high school, and wind up in prison, by the time you're 35 with Sebastian Telfair!!

Ep 298#298 - Off To See The Wizard - The Crookedness of Ken Clay
EThis 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 his employers. He learns his lesson, then moves on to ripping off individuals, with some domestic disturbances, mixed in, including being stabbed by his wife, badly enough to have his stepson taken from them. An absolute mess!! Have one of the oddest origin stories of any athlete, celebrate a World Series win in your rookie season, and then show yourself to be a lying, scheming, scamming very bad man, with Ken Clay!!

Ep 297#297 - One Big Pose - The Boastfulness of "The Total Package" Lex Luger (Larry Pfohl)
EThis 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 his house, after an equally well known female wrestling star dies, in his condo. It gets even worse for him, after he is confined to a wheelchair, and had to struggle just to have some mobility. A Tell the Green Bay Packers that you don't think it's working out between you, live up to your character name of "The Narcissist", and suffer the stinging horror of karma with "The Total Package" Lex Luger!!

Ep 296#296 - Escalating In Awful - The Contemptibleness of Dana Stubblefield
EThis 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, or when he said that he didn't rape that developmentally disabled woman. Things like that. But, the question is, do the courts believe him??

Ep 295#295 - The Nutsack Nibbler & UPDATES!! - Donovan Salvato, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Jeremy "Mayhem Miller, Ben Cousins, Adrien Broner & Joey Barton
EThis 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, Joey Barton, and, of course, Ben Cousins. How much meth do you think you can fit up your butt? Well, Ben has returned to try to beat his old record, in that department! So many crazy arrests, so little sports!! Attack a very vulnerable part of your opponents anatomy, get pulled over for ignoring traffics laws & driving the wrong way, up a one way street, while drinking straight from the bottle, and stuff more meth into your butt, than you thought humanly possible with Donovan Salvato, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Adrien Broner, Joey Barton, and Ben Cousins!!

Ep 294#294 - Long, Thick & Massive - The Theatricalness of "Neon" Leon Spinks
EThis 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, in only his 8th fight, and it went downhill from there. Fast. He even had his teeth stolen, multiple times. But one part of him is incredibly impressive, and it's not his right hand! Shock the world, screw it up, and become The Chicken Wing King, instead, with "Neon" Leon Spinks!!

Ep 293#293 - Violence Starts At Home - The Acclaimedness of Bobby Hull
EThis week, we check out the life of a legendary hockey player, who was the idol of fans, and had the cleanest reputation that there was, during his playing days, but the facade quickly crumbled. Angry, brooding, and taking it out on his family, while womanizing, all over the place. This was a definite deviation from his public image, of the perfect family man. On the ice, he was definitely an all time great, but off the ice, his real personality was harrowing & dangerous. As if all of that wasn't enough, he also said one of the dumbest things that you can say, and is still being made fun for it! Be an all time great, have the image of an everyday family man, and scare everyone in your family with Bobby Hull!!

Ep 292#292 - Heroin, Murder & The 2022 Scummy Awards - The Gnarliness of Jay Adams
EThis week, we look into a skateboarding icon, who many say invented the modern style of skating. He was just a kid, when he turned professional, but he certainly lived like an adult. An adult on the edge. He blew off commercials that he landed, and got into the LA punk rock scene, leading to his starting the ball rolling on a terrible murder of one man, and the near death of another. From there, his life continues to be a mess. He shoots cocaine, gets addicted to heroin, and makes terroristic threats. In, and out of prison, only to finally get out... and somehow be even weirder. Plus, The 2022 Scummy Awards!! Be a cultural icon, commit a brutal crime & get off very lightly, and put on your tuxedos & ball gowns for Jay Adams & The 2022 Scummy Awards!!

Ep 291#291 - Bleaching Away The Rough Spots - The Inflammableness of Terrell "T-Sizzle" Suggs
EThis week, we check out a very successful NFL player, who has a history of doing some dumb, and some just plain strange things, over the last 20 years. A brawl before the draft, an absolutely awful driving record, and some seriously wild accusations at home. He's been accused of hitting, throwing bleach on, and even dragging a woman from a car. Then, he got married to that woman. His off the field activities are as crazy as his on the field activities are successful. A huge, arcing mess!!

Ep 290#290 - God Is Naked, Too - The Bewilderingness of David Vaughn Jr
EThis week, we follow a multigenerational story of disaster. A 1970s basketball player, who did things like walk around, in the middle of the street, wearing ONLY a t-shirt, and taking cops on a 7 mile long chase, ending in craziness & gunplay. He then passes on the family legacy to his self named son, who plays with Shaq & Michael Jordan, before descending into arrests & homelessness, and trying to start a one man moving company. There is enough craziness for many generations in this one!

Ep 289#289 - I'm Always Innocent - The Cinematicness of Vinny "The Pazmanian Devil" Pazienza
EThis week, we dip back into the brain damage sports with a man, who is nothing, if not entertaining. He's a boxer with flash & power, but the story isn't all happy. He made his way back, from a broken neck, all the way to ring, to box for another 10 years. He was a champion, a lunatic, and great quote. He lost his money, several times, but got arrested, even more. Drunk driving, fighting cops, fighting women in bars, fighting women at home, bad checks at casinos, rushing into someone's house, then biting them... And even had a major Hollywood movie made about his life. It's a lot. And so is he!! Follow the dream to be Rocky, have a major Hollywood movie made about you, and spend all of your post career life, fighting in court, instead of the ring Check us out, every Tuesday! !We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

Ep 288#288 - A Search For Sympathy - The Affrontedness of Julio Lugo
EThis week, we take a look at a man who was accused of something pretty terrible, but he continued with his baseball career, like it never happened, even going on to be a World Series champion. But that dark thing was always hanging over his head, especially since his excuse was self serving, at best, a complete insult to everybody's intelligence, at worst. And it's not the end, as his other accused crime may even be scarier than the first, this time involving kidnapping & gunplay! The end of the episode will be quite the surprise, as well!!

Ep 287#287 - Soaked In Gasoline, Holding A Match - The Blatantness of Garry Sullivan
This week, we find ourselves knee deep in some seriously serious crime. He was an Australian rugby player, with a need for gambling, and a penchant for high stakes robberies. He, and an unlikely accomplice become 2 of the country's top 10 most wanted men, after a years long campaign of armed robbery. Banks & armored vehicles were their thing, incapacitating guards, and getting away with millions of dollars. But it's not all fun & games, considering he wrapped a man's neck with a chain., soaked him in gasoline, and threatened to set him on fire!

Ep 286#286 - Someone Is Going To Die - The Decliningness of Larry Johnson
EThis week, we venture into the "brain damage" sports to bring you a cautionary tale. It's cautionary because you wouldn't want to end up like him, or even near him. He has been arrested, multiple times, for attacking women, once for using a broken vodka bottle as a weapon, and plenty of other craziness. Speaking of crazy, he loves nothing more than shouting crazy conspiracy theories, from the darkest corners of the internet! He's a mess, and seems to be getting worse, by the day! Where will it end?

Ep 285#285 - A Royal Mess - The Regalness of Jerry "The King" Lawler
EThis week, we check out a legend, in his sport! He's been a fixture of the wrestling business for 50 years. He's well known, and a bit infamous, as well, for things that aren't exactly right. He has never had a drink of alcohol, or coffee, but has been indicted for sodomy of an underage girl. So, he's a bit of an enigma. He also was the owner & anchor of a wrestling territory, for decades, one of the main voices of the WWE, and an enthusiastic touch football player, twice a mayoral candidate, and has a seemingly very odd relationship with his current fiancé. There's a lot here to unpack!! Become the King of your city, be accused of unspeakable things, by very young girls, and tell your fiancé to kill herself with Jerry "The King" Lawler!!

Ep 284#284 - Tuff Juice & Mountain Dew - The Vindicatedness of Caron Butler
EThis week, we track a story that has been a long time, in the making, and has aq little bit different ending than we're used to. From extremely humble beginnings, he was selling both newspapers, and cocaine by age 11. He ran the streets, sold drugs, carried a gun, and was arrested more than 10 times, even being sent to prison at 15! Somehow, through all of that, he made a successful, and very lucrative NBA career happen. This is is wild tale, and we can't believe how it ends!

Ep 283#283 - Please Hate Me - The Hateableness of Marcelo "El Chino" Rios
EThis week, we wade in to the story of a tennis player, that was hated by just about everyone he ever spoke to. He picked up the sport, later than most kids, with a natural talent that made him not have to plan his attacks like most players. He was also a HUGE jerk. Refusing autographs for kids, abusing the media, other players, line judges, legal judges, people in bars, his wife, and even his coaches. He seemed to relish being hated, but this had consequences on his life, his career, and even his underwear! A truly strange story!!

Ep 282#282 - Thy Brother's Robber - The Unsuspectingness of Michael Carbajal
EThis week, we look at a hero of his neighborhood, who wouldn't even move away after he was making millions of dollars, an Olympic medal, and worldwide fame. From a tough place, he wanted to be a champion, from an early age, and he achieved it, along with his brother, who trained him. A dream come true... Until the bottom fell out. Some legal issues began to take the shine off of this hero, but that's nothing compared to what his brother did to him.

Ep 281#281 - He's Fine... Maybe Not - The Abjectness of Quincy Carter
EThis week, we check out a guy who always had all the potential, but the only potential that he fulfilled was his prolific arrest record. A sought after, two sports star, he was the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but it all went away. Next thing you knew, he was in an off brand football league, and choking women, while punching them. His problems seem to be with alcohol, drugs, and even fear of success. Either way, he made a real mess of it all, and the only question is, will he EVER get it together?? Have to choose between pro baseball, and pro football, become the starting quarterback for an iconic franchise, then get arrested, at an alarming rate with Quincy Carter!! Check us out, every Tuesday! !We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
