#372 - A Dirty Old Man - Gene "The Snowman" Snow - Plus Aqib Talib & Sunny Updates!! Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who broke records for speed, and innovated ways to go faster, by helping invent engine components. He is one of the most respected drag racers in history. He also apparently liked the company of young boys. A little too much. He was repeatedly arrested for awful things, and let go with slaps on the wrist. The things he has been accused of as bad as they could be, but he's somehow welcome back into his sport.

Have a seriously wild background, have no fear of driving 250 mph, and have sick desires that should make you the pariah of racing, but somehow don't with Gene "The Snowman" Snow!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

#371 - A Dangerous Sexual Predator - Davey Hilton Jr Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

This week, we fight our way through the story of a man, who came from at least 4 generations of boxers, who all seem to to have problems, outside of the ring. Between him, and his brothers, it's an avalanche of crime, and legal proceedings. But our guy has them all beat by committing one of the most hideous crimes, ever. He may seriously be the worst person we've ever covered!

Start boxing at age 3, be a walking police blotter, along with your brothers, and deny your unspeakable crime, even though there's all the evidence in the world with Davey Hilton Jr!!

#370 - Diamond Dick & The Whackstick - "Turkey" Mike Donlin Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

This week, we go back in time to look into a man who was born in 1878! He played for the St Louis Cardinals, before they were called that. Famous for his strut, cockiness, and crazy things he did while drinking. Things like punching showgirls, and pulling guns on train conductors. He transitioned from baseball, into a film career that had him in some pretty wild circumstances. A wild guy, living an old timey wild life!!

Hate your nickname, have your team refuse to play in the 2nd World Series ever, and punch anybody who doesn't like you, punching their girlfriend with "Turkey" Mike Donlin!!

#369 - Everybody's Rival - Bill Romanowski Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

This week, we cover a man who seemingly no one likes. He's the type of guy who you only like, if he plays for your team, but not necessarily if you play on his team. He attacked teammates, ended careers, took cheap shots, all while playing at a high level, and earning 4 rings, and causing a state & federal drug probe. Turns out, he may have had some chemical help with his accomplishments, but that might also help explain his wild behavior!

Play the game at 1000%, take some things to help you play the game at 1000%, and have no respect for anyone else on the field with Bill Romanowski!!

#368 - Next Time I DIe... - Johnny Tapia: Part 2 Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

This week, we continue this story of insanity with more cocaine, more arrests, and a few surprise twists that no one could see coming. He continued to fight, long after it was probably healthy to do so. He also had suicide attempts, other brushes with death, rehabs, relapses, and plenty of drama. Including his wife marrying his brother, and Johnny finally finding his long thought dead father... Or, did he???

Keep fighting, long after it's healthy to do so, ignore everything you've learned in rehab, and be completely fooled by a fabricated DNA test with Johnny Tapia - Part 2!!

#367 - Cocaine Is My Mistress - Johnny Tapia: Part 1 Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

This week, we dip back into the brain damage sports to bring the tale of a man, who had a life straight out of a movie that would be considered unrealistic, because of the pure craziness involved. We have a murder, while he's still in the womb, more death & murder, before the age of 8. He also joined a gang, had a major concussion, and fought drunken adults for money, at the behest of his grandfather. All before the age of 12. Then he starts boxing, and gets VERY into cocaine! Pure crazy!

Watch a pregnant woman be launched from a bus window when you're 7, fight adult men at age 10, so your grandfather can win a few bets, and love cocaine more than ship captains love ships with Johnny Tapia!!

#366 - Menace To Polite Society - Alex "The Hurricane" Higgins Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look at a a man who played a sport that we didn't know existed. He ended up being the guy to take the sport of snooker from a stuffy, not televised bore, into a televised, slightly less boring event! He was a colorful, charismatic player who was the Happy Gilmore of snooker. He also smoked 4 packs a day, punched refs, threw plates at spectators, beat his girlfriend with a hairdryer, and committed "the slowest suicide in sports history"!!

Start hanging out in dive bars at age 10, bring some life to a stuffy sport, and destroy your relationships, career, future, financial well being & health with Alex "The Hurricane" Higgins!!

#365 - The Real President - Delonte West Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

This week, we catch up with a guy who most people last saw, in a video, being beaten in the street, rather than being in the NBA Finals, next to Lebron James, and possibly Lebron's mom, as well! There is no way not to feel for a guy who clearly has some mental issues to deal with, but he has to help himself before it's too late. In the meantime, he continues to get arrested, and say absolutely outlandish things, like yelling at police officers that he "is the real President"!

Be a most unlikely NBA star, maybe have sex with Lebron's mother, and carry your shotgun in a guitar case with Delonte West!!

#364 - A Dad Fetish - Terry Glenn Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

This week, we check out the life of a man who had a horrible start to his life. He ended up, understandably, full of anger at the world, that he channeled into overcoming gigantic odds, and fighting his way into a big time college football program. This leads to NFL success, and a seemingly great life, but he always had something, just under the surface, that wouldn't let him reach his full potential. This all results in a crazy, and sad ending!!

Have one of the worst childhoods possible, be just like Rudy, but with world class speed, and somehow rub everybody you ever work with, the wrong way with Terry Glenn!!

#363 - Public Housing Superstar - Vida Blue Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look at a legendary baseball player, who had skill, style, a really nasty fastball, and an appetite for cocaine, and driving drunk. He was plagued by playing for one of the cheapest owners in history, even qualifying for public housing, while having an MVP & Cy Young Award winning season, while this owner tried to get him to change his name to something more marketable. Life looked bright, but he couldn't get out of his own way. Did he ever turn it around? A crazy tale of 1970s living, even when it's the not the 1970s!!

Get paid in Cadillacs, be in the middle of a federal drug investigation, and have a very strange middle name with Vida Blue!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!
