Crime in Sports

This week, we settle in with one of the strangest stories we've ever looked at. A man who never had a chance in life, and quickly screws up any chance he does have, somehow makes himself a legend while serving 30 years in prison. He was a light heavyweight boxing contender, while being incarcerated for many things, including murder. Did he get out of prison, and fulfill his destiny? This story is a whole lot of crazy!! Do eight years in jail for truancy, mess up your life, just when it starts to get on track, then become a legend from behind prison walls with James Scott!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we jump over the net to look at a Belgian tennis player who has maybe the craziest origin story we've ever told. He went from these humble beginnings to becoming an arrogant, snobby, jerk, who treated everyone, including his parents, like they were beneath him. This attitude developed into a nasty little heroin habit that destroyed his life & career, while landing him in jail, multiple times. Does he ever stop his stupidity? Find out!

This week, we take a long look at a man who was no stranger to crime from an early age. From theft, to selling crack to an undercover officer, to punching women & chasing a man through the streets, holding a large stick... and that's all before he was even of legal age. With NFL success didn't come the end of his arrests, as he kept up a pretty solid record, throughout the years. This includes one of the sillier arrests in CIS history! It's Corey Dillon!! Sell crack to an undercover officer, chase people through the streets with a large stick, and always punch the driver of the car you're in with Corey Dillon!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we check in with a man who we have done two episodes on, but now we check in with the man himself, Lenny Dykstra!! We sit have a chat with Lenny about what he's been up to, since his last arrest, what he thinks about baseball in the age of Covid-19, and exactly what the hell he was thinking when he kept getting arrested! Lenny is honest, frank, and just an all around good time. Throughout the episode are voicemails to wish Lenny well, left by some ex-teammates, media personalities, and people you just wouldn't expect!! This is an all around good time!!

This week, we check out a man who played a sport we know nothing about, rugby. That said, we skip most of the sports, and dive directly into crime. He tried to make a little extra money, doing some dirty things, and got caught. In Thailand. With a LOT of heroin. This leads to a long stint in a nightmarish Thai prison, which causes him even bigger troubles. Listen to it all unravel! Play two professional sports, hang out with your crime boss brother-in-law, and wind up doing extra hard time in a Thai prison with Paul Hayward!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we look at a very successful person, who never seemed like they'd turn out to be so successful. He was a six time NBA champion, who played next to the great of all time. He also spent money in dumb ways, drove a little tipsy, was a little careless with guns, and the police know the address where he and his reality show star wife lived. Not to mention, more lawsuits than you could shake a stick at, including one that names a 5 year old girl as a target. What a mess!

This week, we go back in time to look at man who had it rough. He had over 100 boxing matches, back before we even knew what CTE was, the 1920's/1930's. This all resulted in bizarre behavior, culminating with a jealous outburst at both his mistress... and her mother. He admits to the crime, but will his diminished capacities keep him from hanging in London's gallows? This is a wild & crazy ride through history!!

TW/CW.. This week, we look into a man who makes it REALLY hard to like him. His first, second, and third responses are all the same, violence. He attacks people in public, in bars, and worst of all, in their own homes. All the signs were there, but the world wasn't sure just how awful of a human being he is, until he commits an act so heinous, that he may never get out of prison! Screw up every opportunity that you get, make sure to say all of your craziest thoughts in public, and never, ever show any mercy with War Machine!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we jump into the deep end of a murky pool. A man who was raised to be a champion, from the time he was in diapers. He was on a clear path to a gold medal when tragedy struck, and he was severely injured in a car accident. His remarkable comeback, all the way to the Olympics was nothing short of amazing, but he quickly threw it all away. In the end, people are killed, and so is a legend! Work your way back from horrific injuries, throw it all away with booze & pills, then live with the tragic results with Bruce "The Comeback Kid" Kimball!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we take a look at a guy whoo seems to have been getting arrested since birth. From high school, and beyond, he developed a pattern of having no regard for rules, the law, or other human beings, then having people get him out of trouble. He continues this pattern, until he meets his future wife, soccer star, Hope Solo. She seems to fit right into his lifestyle, as they end up entangled with police, as a couple, on more than one occasion, in addition to having her own problems with the law! This is a 2 for 1 episode & it's wall to wall crime & mess!! Send people nasty emails after they have sex with you, never listen to authority, and go right from jail to your wedding with Jerramy Stevens & Hope Solo!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we bodyslam our way through the story of a man who defines the term "wasted potential". No one in wrestling history has been given more chances to be employed, or screwed those chances up quite so badly. He did plenty of drugs, fought cops in bar parking lots, and that's only the beginning. Tales of his debauchery are legendary. Some are hilarious, and some are downright criminal. He is a unique kind of disaster! Have sex with your cousin, snort your way out of every job you get, and never learn from your mistakes with Marty Jannetty!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we check out a nearly forgotten baseball player, who was once the catalyst behind a team that went to the World Series, but just a few short years later, he was out of the sport, all together. Why? Cocaine, and plenty of it. Also, he had quite the attitude, causing fights with everyone from friends, to teammates, to his team's manager. His post-baseball life was sad one, complete with a penthouse apartment, specifically for shooting heroin. This is a wild tale!

This week, we talk about a man who somehow went from dropping out of high school, to the NBA in a matter of a few years. He sold crack, and ran the streets but always kept his basketball dreams alive, and eventually it paid off, at least in money. But he has been full of problems like being belligerent to cops, drinking to excess, getting robbed, committing a burglary, and a whole lot in between. He leaves you with only one question... WHY?? Drop out of high school, be intimidated by Charles Barkley, and always do the stupidest thing with Steve "The Franchise" Francis!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we take an extra long look into one of the strangest stories that we've had in all 200 episodes. A boxer, a large, redheaded man called "Elvis", drugs, a threatened quadriplegic, guns, murder... This story has it all. When a boxer feels he is wronged by his slimy manager/promoter, he takes matters into his own hands. Was it justified, or just a brain damaged delusion? Find out!

This week, we follow the trail of a man who has been living on the edge for 40 years. A star NFL player, from a tiny school, that ends up setting the single season sack record. He also started a Studio 54 brawl, went out with movie stars & models, had a crazy mustache, and got arrested. A lot. Court orders mean nothing, and people who don't want to be slapped around, mean even less. Can he turn it around to something positive, or will his story end sadly??

This week, we look at a man who was obsessed with looking good. He even tried to make a career of bodybuilding, but ended up selling steroids, getting involved in love triangles, and plotting murders. Just when police are closing in on him, he disappears. Seemingly gone for good, but actually living in a another country, and under an assumed name. Will he just quietly hide out, or brashly make his presence known, and participate in more horrific murder??

This week, we check out a fighter, with fierce reputation, in the ring, and a less than stellar reputation, outside of it. He came from a less than ideal background to make it to the top level of MMA, but little things, like pesky arrests kept getting in the way. From his history, let's just say that he seems to have a slight problem with women, and leave it at that. Bruised girlfriends, and flying yogas mats are his specialty. But will that lose him his job, or will it be pushed aside?

This week, we look into a man who always used violence as a first resort. He was a football mainstay due almost entirely to his force of will, and the sheer terror that he inflicted on his opponents. On the streets, he seemed to approach life the same way, and when you get up in the sky, he's even more aggressive. Luckily for him, he turned this image into a pretty healthy movie career, becoming a familiar face, all over the world. It's Vinnie Jones!! Also... THE SCUMMIE AWARDS!!

This week, we celebrate our 4th anniversary, and head down the road with a man who certainly shouldn't be driving. He fought his way from community college, to a big time program, to being an NBA All-Star, seemingly using nothing but will, and determination. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have the determination to not get arrested. His actions escalated, until a seemingly inevitable tragedy takes place. Will he ever learn his lesson?

This week, we find out about a man who lived his childhood dream, making it to the major leagues, and even on to his lifelong favorite team. His baseball career fizzled out, but after a couple bumps in the road, he pulls his life together, and even does good for the community. That is, until shocking, and horrifying charges are leveled against him, and nobody thinks he's such a great guy anymore! This one is insane!!

This week, we try not to blink because we would miss this shooting hockey star, and his unraveling life. A Canadian kid, achieving his goal by making it all the way to the NHL, and serving as the resident goon, beating up anyone in his path. The problem is when you have a propensity for violence, and you mix it with a cocaine addiction, and an enormous amount of steroids, you get a whole lot of insane things happening, in a very short amount of time!

This week, we check out the life of one of the richest, most successful athletes in the world. Unfortunately for world, and especially for the women in his life, he is an absolute jerk, in every sense of the word.

This week, we explore the life, and considerable screw ups of a man who was a national champion in college, and played in three Super Bowls, only to be overshadowed by a slew of almost innumerable run ins with police. He is apparently a terrible driver, and he makes it even worse by never having a license. What he does have, is a lot of cocaine, and several women with orders of protection against him for his insane behavior!

This week, we check out what it's like to follow your legendary father's footsteps into the profession that made him famous. We find out that it has advantages, and disadvantages, but it doesn't explain the road that he went down. He just couldn't understand that taking several different kinds of drugs, on a regular basis, wasn't a good life plan.

This week, we check out a legend of the New York City playground basketball scene, who made it all the way to the pros, before his interesting personality, and flair for the dramatic got him banished back to the playground, and eventually to a much worse place than that. He seemingly cleaned up his act after recovering from a gunshot wound, and some time in prison, by helping kids, and becoming a role model... until the police came breaking down the door, accusing him of being a drug kingpin!

This week, we circle back, and take a fresh look at a man who we covered in our 10th episode, with an all new episode! He was a beloved, and famous icon of skateboarding, in the 1980's, until things started to go downhill, both personally & professionally. His dark path continued until it culminated in one of the most heinous, horrid things that we've ever talked about. He's a truly awful person, and we have so much information that we didn't have time for, way back in 2016!!

This week, we try to get into the head of a man with a tough upbringing, that put his anger into fighting, inside the ring, instead of in the street. He eventually worked his way up to UFC, but injuries, lack of conditioning, and a serious drug habit kept him from becoming a champion. As his life unravels, and he faces charges in court, and the end of his fighting career, he does something so drastic, that there's no coming back from it!

This week, we duck flying objects as we look at a man who exhibited behavior that can be described best as "aggressive", and at worst as "insane". He was an eagle scout, and an honor student, but he unleashed a real fury when he played... and the rest of the time, too. No one was safe, teammates, thermostats, clubhouses, girlfriends, strangers, fans, trick or treaters, Hannah Storm, it really didn't matter. This guy was a general menace, and it's simply hilarious!

This week, we take a gander at a man who came from a troubled background, and was never supposed to about to anything. He shocked everyone by becoming the heavyweight champ. He also attacked festive hotel lobbies, robbed homes, fought cops, smoked a lot of crack, and had one of the strangest moments in the history of sports during a world title fight! It's Oliver McCall!! Shock the world by becoming champion, have your robbers come back to ask follow up questions, and never hold your emotions back with Oliver "The Atomic Bull" McCall!!

This week, we check out a man who may be the definition of "shooting star", as he rose from obscurity to reach his NFL dreams. Once he got there, things didn't go so well, as he fell in with the wrong crowd, seemingly never able to get out of his own way, but always in the path of the police. He was falsely accused of a horrible crime, by a teenaged prostitute, turned insane murderer, and that is considered heart warming compared to the rest of this tale. It's Chris Henry!!

This week, we fire up the engines to bring you one of the wildest, craziest people in the history of the show. He was a dare devil & race car driver from the days before they even wore helmets. He was an Indianapolis 500 winner, cementing his place his racing history.

This week, we skate directly into the eye of a storm of bad circumstances, luck, and behavior, with a man who was at the top of his game, winning championships, and making big money. This all changed with both a head injury, and a newly found love of cocaine. This culminates in a sleazy hotel, gangster, prostitute, bribed cab driver, crack rock kind of evening that leaves his problems exposed to the public. It only gets worse from there, with the FBI getting interested in his dealings. It's a mess!!

This week, we look into a man who came along at just the right time to get rewarded greatly for his considerable talents. Unfortunately, that may have made him think that he was entitled to do whatever he wanted to do. This includes fighting with female gas station attendants, driving a Bentley while drunk, and barging into his ex's house at 3am with a frightening request. It's a story of someone who never wanted to follow his father's footsteps, but does he? This a crazy story, complete with some insane revelations about how the Jackson family chose their band members!

This week, we explore what it's like to be prodigy, become a champion, and blow it all due to stupidity, and lack of temperament. This guy is no stranger to unsanctioned bar brawls, as well as championship UFC fights. No one seems safe when he's on the warpath, bouncers, friends, children, his girlfriend, uniformed police, it simply doesn't matter to the man who seems to have gotten more chances than anyone in UFC history. He's a mess, and only getting worse. It's BJ Penn!! Have a fight club down at the beach, never back down from a fight, and don't take a police uniform too seriously with BJ Penn!!

This week, we see what it's like to get everything that you could ever want, by age 20. The spoiler is that apparently results in heavy drinking, bad driving, non-payment of debts, domestic violence, and more cocaine than you could shake a stick at! He lived as high of a life as was possible, and ruined one of the most promising baseball careers in the history of the sport. Just when you think he's good, now... He's most certainly not.

This week, we ease up to a buffet of bad decisions, bad instincts, and just plain stupid. He worked his way into the NFL, becoming a Super Bowl champion, on a dynasty of a team. With all that glory comes excesses of every kind. From food, to drugs, to women, and he sampled it all. His crimes are just as dumb as some of them are awful, and his tendency to give a hilarious, if not insane quote serves the story well. This one has all the crazy one could want in an episode!!

This week, we wander down a path of crazy, with more idiocy jumping out from behind every door. He came from a terrible situation, and tried to make Pittsburgh proud, by becoming a champion. Problem is, he also became a drunk, a crack head, and someone who would shoot his girlfriend, and put a 63 year old woman in a head lock, for no reason. Not to mention his penchant for intra family rumbles with just about anyone he's related to... and that's just the start of his storied record. He never learned. He still hasn't. It's Paul Spadafora!! Start drinking at age 6, stab your brother with a 10 inch knife, then threaten several members of the Pittsburgh Police Department with Paul Spadafora!!

This week, we look at some good ol' Texas style tragedy! He was royalty in the world of wrestling, along with his father & brothers. They were worshipped by the locals, and idolized by fans, all over the world... For a while. Drugs, arrests, tragedy, a nasty motorcycle accident, and the loss of his brothers were just more than he could handle, as he slipped further down a path of destruction! This one is deep with crazy!

This week, we check out one of the all time legends of basketball, and stupidity! From the humblest of starts, he was literally a late bloomer, who figured out that basketball could take him places. He has done everything from championships, to arrests, to dating Madonna. His exploits are enough for about 3 episode, but we manage to squeeze it into one wild & wooly tale!! Buckle up, this guy is an all timer!! Steal watches from the Dallas airport gift shop, slap Carmen Electra, and be the first major male athlete to wear a wedding dress in public with Dennis Rodman!!

This week, we peek into the air to see a man soaring over head... then crashing hard, down to earth. He was a beach kid, turned one of the most exciting skateboarders on earth, mixing technical precision with daring heights, and cool style, all his own. But the party scene got to him. He tried it all, but settled on meth, and continued to destroy his career & life, until a warrant for his arrest makes him miss the opportunity to make millions, and be more famous than Tony Hawk! Plus, a major airport meth bust... He's got it all!! Be more daring than the next guy, make Tony Hawk jealous of your moves, and throw it all away with pounds of meth with Christian Hosoi!!

This week, we look at man who came from nothing, and achieved his dream of being a major leaguer. Not only that, he was an all star, and World Series Champion... But that all unraveled, and it ended up with some nasty charges involving a machete, some gasoline, a little paint thinner & a lighter. These charges would land him in Venezuelan prison with his good name ruined. He also indiscriminately fires hand guns from car windows & is not above a bar brawl. Did we mention that his mother was kidnapped & sold to a Columbian revolutionary gang & held for millions in ransom? Or that the rescue attempt was straight from an 80's action movie, complete with M-16s & exploding fuel tanks?? It's insane!!

This week, we take a peek at the life of a man who started out, behind the iron curtain, growing up in the streets. From there, he learned how to fight in the ring, and became one of MMA's most feared punchers. Problem is, he likes to punch things, out of the ring, as well. Like fellow airline passengers, or random bar patrons. He is also proficient in sexual assault, having feuds with his own family members, and saying some really dumb things. He is a roller coaster, from start to finish!!

This week, we take a long look at a man who, despite immense talent, was always a bigger force of nature, off the field, than on it. He showed flashes of brilliance, only to have his progress be taken back 2 steps, by yet another arrest. Fighting? Absolutely. Drunken strip club attacks? You know it. Cheating at a casino? Threatening the lives of police? Punching a woman? Indeed. And then some. He's truly one of the most requested episodes that we've had, and it's still better than anyone could have hoped for!

This week, we check out a legendary boxer. One of the greatest of all time. One of the most prolific punch throwers... and crack smokers in history! He fought his way out of a childhood, where sleeping outside was preferable to being home, to become a true legend. Then he discovered crack, glorious crack. This led to fights with everyone, including his mother, crazy crack house confrontations, getting shot by his "wife", lies, restarts, rehabs, jail, more arrests, panhandling, a ton more crack, and eventually Jesus. It really needs to be heard to be believed! Find yourself, in the glow of a crack pipe, be one of the greatest fighters who ever lived, and pray to the lord... for more crack with Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor!!

This week, we look at a man who keeps dousing his own dreams... and not with water. He played for big time teams since he was a child, but never quite learned how to stay out of trouble. Alcohol is the main source of his issues, and he sure knows how to put on a show! Whether it's running from the police, getting banned from being in an entire city, or having some very unfortunate pictures make the social media rounds, this man never disappoints!! Refuse to quit drinking to excess, deny anything not caught in picture form, and be the grossest guy at the urinal with Todd Carney!!

This week, we gaze upon a buffet of disaster, as we check out a man who had all the potential in the world, but couldn't stop screwing up long enough to fulfill it. There were dark accusations of a horrible act, family troubles that led his father to murder his uncle, and a few gun problems for himself. Not to mention the fact that the scale was his worst enemy, pushing nearly 400 pounds at some points in his career! This one is biiiig fun!!

This week, we head down a well traveled road with a man who was respected among his peers, as well as feared. He achieved his dream of big time wrestling, but the life of the road, the booze, the ladies, and eventually the injuries got to him, causing a very quick slide into drugs, knives, thievery, and just plain embarrassment. It's a crazy tale, full of insane stories, gunplay, knife wielding, fights, and some of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered!!

This week, we dip back into the crazy waters of a man that we covered in our first year of the show. Problem is, he's lived more than an episode of his insane existence since that time, so we've had to circle back, and pick up the pieces. What more has he done? Wrote a crazy book, been arrested a LOT, accused Charlie Sheen of murder, and ruined an otherwise quaint New Jersey neighborhood, to name just a few. He's a menace, and we are all the beneficiaries, because we get to explore this wild tale!!

This week, we delve into the history of a man who came from humble beginnings to become an icon, that almost transcended race, while compiling a Hall of Fame football career, starring in countless tv shows & movies, and appearing in commercials for every product imaginable. Under the smiling facade, was a very flawed person, who also enjoyed cocaine, many, many women, and rocky circumstances with his long term relationships. His world crumbles amid early domestic violence, strong arm violence, robbery, and a long prison term. I think that's everything... Oh! And he also had that whole incident where two innocent people were brutally murdered, and he was found not guilty. We will spend very little time on that, because he was even more of a bad person than you probably thought, giving us plenty of other things to talk about!

This week, we take a look at a man who came on to the boxing scene, literally out of nowhere. He seemingly had no past, but he certainly had a future in fighting. He made it all the way to the national stage before questions arose. Questions like "who is this guy?" cause his secret to be exposed, and his world to crumble. Just when you maybe start to feel bad for him, you find out something even more sinister!!
