Crime in Sports

This week, we once again look at the question of just how young is too young to force your child to be a bread winning, family supporting professional athlete. I think we can now safely say that 13 might be the answer. She burst on to the international tennis scene as a 7th grader, and quickly took the world by storm. She also began to hate her forced profession, and all that surrounded it, leading to years of problems & resentment. After a major career comeback, an injury forces her into a weird, dark place called "retirement", and a whole new round of problems!! Come out of the womb holding a tennis racquet, be a world famous hero by age 13, then go mainly downhill from there with Jennifer Capriati!! Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

This week, we crawl into the life of a man who had plenty of promise. He was a state wrestling champion, and even earned a college scholarship. But it all fell apart. He tried his hand in some MMA competition, but ultimately washed out of the sport, much like college, and the Marines. What's left for a guy like that? Enforcer for a drug kingpin, of course. But when he thinks he's not being compensated like he should for his work, a plan is hatched... This plan results in some of the most graphic violence possible. This is wild one!! Be deemed too lazy for college, be deemed too crazy for the Marines, and settle your scores with a horrifically violent assault that leaves multiple people dead with David Tyner!!

This week, we look at a man who was revered in his home country, and was one of his sport's more popular players. He played for decades, before retiring to a quiet life as a paprika farmer, in the countryside. This all sounds wonderful, except for the fact that he also crushes the back roads, looking for women to pay for all sorts of non sports related activities! The trial, the appeals.. it's a mess! Does he end up getting away with his reprehensible crime?? Find out! Also, we have no luck with the nuances of cricket, so we must make up a game of our own, based loosely on our idea of what cricket may be!

This week, we concentrate on the question "what could have been?" with one of the biggest wastes of talent that professional sports has ever produced. He had the potential to be in the Hall of Fame, but he had other priorities. Mainly, using copious amounts of cocaine, and ruining every chance that he was repeatedly given. He disappointed everyone, including himself, but finally seemed to find a better way in life... until he decided to screw that up, and commit some federal crime. He's a mess!! Make Michael Jordan mad with your amazing NBA Finals performance, tomahawk dunk over two, 7-foot tall Polish men, and commit an extremely embarrassing crime on camera with Richard Dumas!!

This week, we answer the question of whether you can breed, and build the perfect athlete. The answer is a resounding "no". Trained from birth to be the perfect football player, he followed this path of success, until he was overwhelmed by it all. What follows is a sad tale of drugs, arrests, more drugs, and being found naked in a place he doesn't belong, even if he had clothes on. It's a crazy adventure, the entire way. What a weird one!! Suck on a kidney in your crib, be trained by experts in every field, and still end up as a skateboarding heroin addict with Todd Marinovich!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we journey down a path that has surprises at every turn. As a young man, sports was all he was consumed by, never even understanding why people would ever want to do drugs. A major league baseball career later, cocaine was all he was consumed by. He lived on the streets, panhandled, ignored his family, and most of all, smoked a whole lot of crack. Prison, deaths, embarrassment, nothing seemed to stop his desire to destroy his life. Good thing for us, it's as hilarious as it is sad!! Fight your way from nowhere to the World Series, smoke more crack than you thought to be humanly possible, and panhandle by lying to people & telling them that your daughter died with Sammy "The Throwin' Swannanoan" Stewart!!

This week, we take a look at a guy who got in trouble from a young age, and hasn't slowed down since. He was seemingly sheltered from consequences due to his soccer ability. To the point where teams sign him, the same week he's been arrested! And what has he been arrested for? Well... Armed robbery, assault, mischief, money laundering, drunk driving, sexual assault... That's some of them. There is simply too much to list. Let's just say that this one is way more crime than sports!!

This week, we encounter a legend. Both in his own mind, and in the annuls of various police departments. He was a gang leader, who turned his aggression into a boxing career, only to be sidetracked by stupidity, Mike Tyson, and PCP. His list of indiscretions range from a 4am street fight with Mike Tyson, to drugs, terrible driving, assault, and a crime that we've never had on the show, or even heard of before. This is a wild ride, from start to finish!! Fight your way out of the projects, obsess over one person for 20 years, and always take your shirt off with Mitch "Blood" Green!!

This week, we travel down a rocky road of crazy adventures, and a spiral that leads to gas station drug busts, being removed from planes by Federal Marshalls & public meltdowns. He was a star during the boom period of wrestling, in the 1980's, and lived a fast paced, wild life. In the end, his downfall happened gradually, as the money dried up, but the addictions grew stronger, causing some embarrassing scenes for all concerned. It's a fun, but sad tale, but we promise one thing, it's never boring! Be too insane for even the Raiders, try to extort your college coach, and smoke crack all night with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart!!

This week, we explore the world of a guy, who just wanted to be a fighter. He would do anything to get to that dream, including hiding a past that includes some of the most reprehensible crimes you can commit. He hid in plain sight, until his whole facade came crashing down... one of his fights. With his past revealed, do you think he straightened up, flew right, and redoubled his efforts? Or, do you think he acted even worse, and went to prison, as a result? Find out! It's Brandon "White Steel" Saling!!

This week, we try to break through the line, with a man who always understood one thing, that his athletic ability would always keep him out of trouble, and from having to learn how to be a normal member of society. His football career was brief, but extremely promising. He may have been a hall of fame player one day, if only for the small detail that he could not stop climbing into people's homes, while they slept. And that's not all he did while he was in those homes. This dude is truly creepy, and inadvertently hilarious!

This week, we stare up at a giant of a man, who just never figured out how to be a functioning, adult member of society. Everything was taken care of for him, like bad grades, lazy play, or even brushes with the law, until one day, things weren't taken care of, and his life quickly spiraled out of control. He was arrested for everything from slapping female college students, to burglary, and cocaine. A whole lot of cocaine. This episode is truly what Crime In Sports is all about!!

This week, we skate full speed into the boards, with a guy that we can't help but find entertaining, and a bit likable. He was a professional goon, fighting his way into the NHL, and hanging on for years with his tenacity. He had more fights than 5 average boxers, combined. He also liked to live on the edge, off the ice, where his drinking, and partying exploits are of are legendary proportions. This leads to terrible driving, among other problems, and lands him in jail, but he gets out in time to appear in several Hollywood fils, and tv shows. It's one crazy life!!

This week, we look at a man from a prominent, and respected sports family, who followed in his legendary grandfather's footsteps... For a while, anyway. He was always considered a kind, quiet guy, until mental illness started to take over. After a few years of psychotic incidents, such as believing that his sister was an ISIS clone, sent to destroy him, or that he is actually the offspring of Greek Gods. Not to mention, thinking was Jesus for a little while. Needless to say, this situation devolves into scariness, and murder! This is one interesting Australian!!

This week, before we get to the Scummie Awards, we dodge an errant throw from a man who was bred for baseball. It was his dream, from the time he could remember, and he achieved that dream, despite his smaller stature. Although he was very successful, someone his brain just wouldn't let the good times roll, and it ruined his career, and sent a sportscaster's mother to the hospital. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the last person he sent to the hospital, as his personal life started to crumble, and multiple marriages dissolved, resulting in court, violence, arrest, and humidifiers used as weapons. Work so hard that coaches tell you to stop practicing, win 4 World Series rings, and injure an old lady with a badly thrown baseball with Chuck Knoblauch!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we stroll down a dangerous path, with a dangerous guy. He came from some very tough circumstances to achieve wealth, fame, and champion status. The problem was, he just couldn't keep his fighting inside the ring. His violent tendencies at home, mixed with his reckless nature out in the world, leads to a life of constant issues, and eventually leads to one of the craziest episode endings in CIS history!! Steal cigarettes from strangers while you're still in diapers, never take a prank phone call lightly, and only drive motorcycles that are way too fast for you to handle with Diego "Chico" Corrales!!

This week, we duck a left hook of crazy, with a man who was right at the cusp of something big, until he let his demons take the wheel. He fought his way out of nowhere to get the attention of the UFC, only to be kicked off a reality show for not following the rules. He would continue down that path, with drugs, alcohol, and sleeping in his trunk. He somehow got another chance, but blew it even bigger with a horrific act of violence! He's a fun one!

This week, we look at a man who did everything in life the right way, including becoming a Super Bowl champion, until seemingly falling off a cliff of depravity, and committing some of the worst crimes that we've ever heard of. He went from being described as polite, and caring while doing charity work, to being an absolute real life monster, who stalked the VIP sections of high dollar night clubs for his next victims. He's the worst, and we certainly tell you why!! Compete with your brother for NFL supremacy, be a Super Bowl champion, and be every woman on earth's nightmare with Darren Sharper!!

This week, we try to hold down a very crazy story down for a three count! A man who had all the ability that you could have, and used that ability to make it to the very top of the wrestling game. Big money, fame, and tons of alcohol, drugs, and pills to support that lifestyle. Not to mention violence, car wrecks, drunken insanity, and even a homicide!

This week, we try to catch our breaths as we careen down an icy slope of disaster. He was The American Dream. He came from a tough background to make himself world famous, and $100 million richer, but it all came crumbling down in the end. From attacking teammates & coaches, to hurling racial slurs & thinly veiled threats against police officers, to blowing the equivalent of the gross domestic product of a small nation on yachts, houses & stupidity!

This week, we explore the life of a woman who came from nothing, and ended up right at the edge of greatness... Then she fell off that edge. A troubled early life led to a troubled adult life, including drinking while doing everything, aggressiveness with both baseball bats & hubcaps, and what appears to be way too much video poker playing. Oh! And then there was that whole clubbing of an Olympic figure skating darling. But that really is just the tip of this dingy, half sunken iceberg!!

This week, we peek around a blind corner, only to be engulfed by anger, violence, and just plain crazy! A man from humble beginnings that made it to the big time, but let his considerable demons get in the way.

This week, we check out a guy who seemed completely benign to outside observer. He accomplished his dream of making it to the NHL, even if his career wasn't the most distinguished. The problem was, there was something truly evil, beneath the surface. His crimes are shocking, and his punishment isn't quite satisfactory. He ends up being a guy who is excessively easy to dislike!!

This week, we look at a potential Rocky, who fell a bit short of the mark on a professional level, but way short on a societal one. He was someone that you could root for. A blue collar fighter, with a tough chin, and day job, but something went wrong along the way. Drugs, steroids, and eventually violence landed him in jail for murder, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. This is a one wild story!!

This week, we look at a man who had the potential to be a legendary figure in his sport, but he was prevented from doing so. First, he was prevented by the NCAA, NFL, and the federal court system, then he was prevented by his own inexplicable actions. From robbery, to a crazy night with an arsenal in his car, and a stand off with police. It's a roller coaster ride of rooting for a guy, only to have him break your heart!!

This week, we drive to the hoop with a man who was liked by everyone he came across. Teammates loved him. Coaches adored him. He worked hard, played his role, and always helped others, making him an All-American, an Olympian, and an NBA player... Until he made a massive mistake that resulted in an unspeakable tragedy. He seems to get back on track, but eventually gun shots ring out, and cocaine is found. This is a crazy one!!

This week, we cruise down the road, at top speed, as we look at the life, career, and crimes (mostly crimes) of a man who participated in one of the largest, most well organized criminal capers in history. As if that wasn't enough, once he got out of prison, his need for action picked back up, with schemes, a bad marriage, and finally a very violent & scary episode, that landed him back in prison.

This week, we explore the winding path of insanity with a man who was a champion in his sport. He was a pioneer of what is now a major sports entity. He was also a lunatic, who seemed to lose his mind, all at once, and sink into the quicksand of crimes, and irrationality. This all culminates with one crazy night, that leaves a family shattered, a hammer bloodied, and casino in dire need of some reconstruction. Buckle up for a crazy one!!

This week, we stagger down a path of wasted opportunities, and squandered goodwill, with a man who came from a very unstable background to be the best pitcher in his league at one point. He was well liked, and quiet, but that may have just been because he was a few too many pills to be any other way. You root for him, and he disappoints at every turn. It's a sad but hilarious tale of a big fall from grace, including maybe the strangest reason that an athlete has ever missed a game!!

This week, we check into a world of pure lunacy, with a man who was an Olympic hopeful, and can't miss future prospect. No matter what he does, he does it while talking. Then when he's done, he talks about it a little more. From posting his own mugshot info on Instagram, to literally flushing money down the toilet. And that's not even the illegal things... like robbery, assault, groping, weapons, and more!! This is the story that keeps on giving!!

This week, we look at a man that overcame the odds of a tough upbringing, to make it all the way to the top! The problem is that he seemed to want to be a criminal, even though he didn't have to be. While looking for a little excitement, after retirement, he falls in with some gangsters, resulting in some of the most brutal behavior in CIS history. It's murder & mayhem, this week... Enjoy!!

This week, we head to the playground to check out a guy that you just want to root for, until he messes up. Again, and again. He was a street ball legend that transitioned his on court game to the pros, but never transitioned his off court game. From some stupid mistakes, and questionable arrests, to some real violence, and scary actions. His fighting spirit served him much better, while playing, than at a strip club at two o'clock in the morning. It's a mess!! It's Rafer "Skip To My Lou" Alston!!

This week, we explore the world of a guy who had the world seemingly handed to him, and just couldn't wait to give it right back. H became from a privileged background, and had every opportunity to have all the best in life, but chose to assault a young lady, threaten a police officer's family, and shooting a fellow party goer... And that's all before he even played professional sports! This one is particularly insane!!

This week, we head down a slippery path of self destruction, and personality defects, from a man who came from a farm, in the middle of nowhere, to earn a name in his chosen profession... And that's where the good ends. He took advantage of fellow wrestlers, treated everyone terribly that crossed his path, and leveled unspeakable horrors on his family. He's a bad guy, who does bad things, but we manage to find a whole bunch of funny along the way!! Wrestle Stu Hart in a filthy Canadian basement, drive people's heads into the mat, and abandon your family with "Bruiser" Bob Sweetan!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we keep being surprised by our subject's antics... until it isn't surprising anymore. He was undersized, but scrappy, and had a chance to have a great, and long career, but injuries derailed all of that. Well, injuries, and a whole lot of booze. His drinking leading to unspeakable acts of public embarrassment, ridicule & jail time. He's a disaster, which is bad for him & those around him, but he's a gold mine for our purposes!!

This week, we are overwhelmed by a mushroom cloud of things that could have been... and unfortunately, the things that actually were. One of the most highly touted baseball prospects in history. A sure fire hall of famer, that never actually threw a major league pitch. Instead, he does stupid things in trailer parks, gets arrested for federal crimes. It's one of the sadder, therefore, more hilarious stories that we've done!!

This week, we navigate through a story that includes cocaine, heroin, cheerleaders, gangsters, potential hit men, and much more! He started out in a great family, went to great schools, and lived his dream. So, of course, that meant he had to figure out some way to screw it all up, and he did that with incredible vigor, and swiftness. Check out the remnants of a once great life, destroyed by stupidity! Hilarious! Come from a fantastic family, set up a cheerleader to commit federal crime, and contract strangers to kill a judge with Darryl Henley!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we ride a roller coaster of emotions, as we root for, then despise this man, who was born disabled, and went on to play in the NBA. Unfortunately for him, and everyone around him he was still lacking in whatever that thing is that makes you not get arrested all the time. Fortunately for us, all of this stupidity was very public, and fortunately for you, we've put the whole story together... and it's hilarious!!

This week, we peel back the layers of a man who was incredibly promising, and even personable... until something caused him to change. Was it brain damage? Cocaine? The ghosts in his basement? Shockingly, those are all possibilities, as this story grows stranger & stranger, before finally spinning out of control, and ensnaring everyone from the next door neighbor to the family dog. Strap in, because this is a wild ride!! Get kicked out of all your schools, keep pigs in your basement, and beware the spirit of the criminal athlete with Josh"The Fluke" Grispi!!

This week, we chase down the story of a man who had a desire to drive fast, live hard, and break many federal laws. He was an outcast in his sport for not being enough of a redneck, while his actions project nothing but redneck to the rest of the world. He made plenty of mistakes... and ultimately made them again... and again. This is a fun one, full of crazy characters!!

This week, we dig deep to find a story of pure crazy. Gangsters with cartoon character names, street violence, and a brutally beaten physics professor. This man started a beef with the silliest sounding gangster in the entire world, but didn't learn his lesson, and kept on with his antics, and insanity, leading to a stabbing, a shooting & more!

This week, we climb a mountain of arrogance & stupid behavior, with a man who thought incredibly highly of himself, maybe because he made millions of dollars, and dated a pop star. Of course, he blew every penny, and that pop star burned his mansion to the ground. That's just par for this guy's course, as he makes every wrong decision possible, and comes out worse, in the end!

This week, we navigate through a torrential downpour of arrests, ejections & general craziness. He started out promising, but soon his temper got the best of him, and seemingly took over every aspect of his life. His explosive reactions are mind boggling, as is his relentless need for control while at home. This one is a log jam of insanity!!

This week, we hang on tight for a wild ride with a man who never met a fight that he didn't like... including with police officers, and just about every player in the NHL. He was wilder off the ice, than on it. His saga is one of constant relapses of drugs, alcohol, and bad decisions, leading to tons of arrests, and illegal things, hidden in his underwear!!

This week, we peek in at the downhill slide of a person who seemed to have it all. She had brains, talent, beauty, hard work, dedication to her craft, and all the success that comes from those attributes. Unfortunately, those qualities also came with a rip roaring drug & alcohol problem that led to professional downfall, regrettable personal behaviors, and a LOT of arrests. This is a wild ride!!

This week, we head down an alley, and get punched in the face by repeated criminality, and craziness. A man who was beloved in his sport for his tenacious, and rugged play, but unfortunately for all concerned, he took those qualities off the court, and into places like nightclubs, house parties, and the middle of Times Square!

This week, we may have bitten off more than we can chew, with this giant, enormous, disaster of a story. He came out of nowhere to become a champion, and a cult hero. He was a rebel, in a sport full of stiffs. He was also a winner, a loser, a drunk, a louse, a criminal, a quitter, and a maniac. Say what you will about the man, but the one thing he's never been accused of is being boring!!

This week, we dive back into the brain damage sports with a man who brought himself to the US, with nothing but $300, and a dream. He achieved that dream by becoming a champion, in the ring, but quickly shattered that dream by being an absolutely awful human being, outside of the ring. His actions were disgusting, and his reaction to his own misdoings are even worse!!

This week, we are confronted with pint glasses full of crazy, as we delve into a sport that we've never covered before, and a man who is truly what Crime In Sports is all about...
