#422 - Blood Out Of A Turnip - "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 3 Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

This week, we catch up with Rubin, as a convicted murderer. The original witnesses are now recanting their stories of seeing Rubin at the murder scene. Meanwhile, Bob Dylan has written a popular song about him, and Muhammed Ali has taken up his cause. This leads to the charges being set aside, and a retrial. Problem is, while out on bail, he's also accused of beating a woman half to death! Will he stay out of prison??

Have Bob Dylan write a song, turning you into a folk hero, get out of jail, due to a large force of celebrities on your side, and be retried for the same murders, hoping for a different result with "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 3!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

#421 - Dead Men Don't Smoke - "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 2 Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

This week, we start with Rubin's career going downhill, fast. Fighting three times in one month. From there, it gets worse. After a night out at a local night spot, he is accused of going into a bar, with an accomplice, and murdering 3 people, in cold blood, while making one very unlucky man's life even worse. There is very little evidence, and Rubin passed a polygraph, but never the less, we end this episode with Rubin sent to prison for consecutive life terms. Will the truth ever come out??

Have everybody comment of your facial hair, be accused of triple murder, even though one of the surviving victims said it wasn't you, and begin serving your prison time, while reading law books in your cell with "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 2!!

#420 - My History Is Violence - "Hurricane" Rubin Carter Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

This week, we start the multi part journey of a man who was played by Denzel Washington in a movie, and had Bob Dylan write a song about him. In part one, we learn the origins of his violent reactions, with beating up a teacher, then a preacher, and being turned in to the police, by his father for other crimes. His anger grows, as spends his time in reform schools & jails, until he finally finds boxing, while hiding from cops, in the Army!!

Beat up both a teacher & a preacher, knockout the heavyweight champion of the Army, and always seem to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time... at least according to police with "Hurricane" Rubin Carter!!

#419 - Success On Spite - Jimmy Hitchcock Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who started out with a chip on his shoulder, and never lost it. Luckily for him, that landed him a decent NFL career, and the goodwill of the state of North Carolina. This probably also led him to allegedly being involved in a shooting, then being tied up in quite a large scandal involving his post NFL career, real estate. This leads to prison, and a need for Mexican yoga!! Plus, legal updates on LT, and Jarryd Hayne!!

Start fighting at an early age, hang around the NFL long enough to have a couple of team records, and throw away all the good will that you've built your entire life with very stupid decisions with Jimmy Hitchcock!!

Show notes

This week, we tell an old timey story about one of the craziest families, that has ever existed, who happened to have produced a son, who had a very brief baseball career. His parents passed their criminology down to all 11 siblings, causing them to turn into a gang of sneak thieves, muggers, saloon brawlers, prostitutes & murderers. In part one, Ted is already in jail, before he's anywhere near an adult, but already involved in some serious crime!

#416 - I'm No Pervert - "Fast" Eddie Johnson - Part 3 Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

This week, we finish up this tale with Eddie already out of the NBA, but hopefully, on a better path. He wasn't. He was immediately arrested for burglary, and cocaine, then gets busted for selling crack to police. In the end, he commits one of the most terrible, awful crimes that even exists, ruining several lives, in the process, including a guy with the same name, who played for the same NBA team. He claims innocence, but is anyone buying it?

Snort your way out of the NBA, use up all the good will of your family & friends, and die in in prison, after committing an absolutely unspeakable crime with "Fast" Eddie Johnson!!

#415 - No One Saw Me Do It - "Fast" Eddie Johnson - Part 2 Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

This week, we continue this saga as Eddie tries to show everyone that his troubles are behind him. His legal, drug, and mental problems. But, the next thing you know, he's being hauled off the Atlanta Hawks practice court by police, and dragged off to a mental institution. He insists his drug problems are a thing of the past, but his own mother seems to disagree. Will he snort his way out of the NBA???

Have your best season, be dragged out of work by police, and be as important to Ted Turner as a transponder on one of his satellites with "Fast" Eddie Johnson!!

Show notes

This week, we find out about a man who had an all star career, and blew it all. In part one, we find out about his humble beginnings, people's predictions of greatness, and the start of his cocaine fast downfall. He loves his coke, flees off a 2nd story balcony, while being shot at, and has no idea how buying things works. He goes from golden child, to being used as an example for everything that's wrong with sports, in a 4 month period!!

Shoot hoops on your rusty bucket, mounted on plywood, become a hero in your hometown, and do so much cocaine that doctors are pretty sure that you'r mentally ill with "Fast" Eddie Johnson!!

#413 - Knighted Father, Monster Son - Gary Brabham Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

This week, we look into the career & crimes of a man who is from racing royalty. His father was the first racer to be knighted, and left a large shadow that his son just couldn't seem to fill. His mediocre racing career left a a lot to be desired, but his crimes make you want to be sick. A terrible man, who carried on a "secret double life" for years, while fooling everybody into saying he was "a nice guy"!

Never get out of your knighted father's shadow, embarrass your family by being the worst racer in the bunch, then embarrass them even more, with your horrendous, and disgusting crimes with Gary Brabham!!
