#342 - A Man Of Violence - Brandon Browner Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who was can best described as equal parts violence, and desire. He fought his way to the NFL, and all the way to being a Super Bowl trivia answer & a member of the "Legion of Boom", but along the way, everything seemed to fall apart. It started with a drug charge, but ends up with an increasingly dangerous & violent streak, directed mainly toward his ex girlfriend, and her family. He takes it to a serious extreme, causing himself to face a possibility of life in prison! A wild ride of a story, and a crazy "where are they, now?"!!

Fight your way from Canada to the NFL, be one of only 7 people on earth to do a particular thing, and break into your ex's house, through a window, and cause mass havoc!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

#341 - Dinner Iguanas & Murder - Julio Machado Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

This week, we check out the life, career & crimes of a man who made himself immediately noticeable to his baseball teammates. But not because of any amazing baseball prowess, or anything like that, it was mainly because he had a very odd dietary requirement... Iguanas. His reasons for this pre-game feast were as strange as the meal itself. From there, he goes on to murder a woman, in the streets, and still wanted to be allowed to play in MLB. A strange man, some strange habits! What a story!

Be the perfect Mormon boy, until you get to Dallas, tell everyone that your teeth hurt, and rummage through a college student's medicine cabinet for pills with Golden Richards!!

#340 - Charlie Chaplin Can't Save You - "Big" Bill Tilden Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

This week, we check out of the greatest tennis players who has ever lived. He's a hall of famer, and a lot of his records still stand, today. He was also a real character, writing Broadway plays, starring in silent films, and hanging out with the biggest celebrities of his day, including Charlie Chaplin. He also led a life of secrecy from the general public, hiding his true life from the outside world. He is eventually arrested for a terrible crime, and when you think it can't get any worse, he does it again. And again. His tale has a pathetic ending, from one of the most prolific people of his time!!

Hide your true self from the world, be the greatest tennis player on earth, while also selling insurance on the side, and never ever learn your lesson with "Big" Bill Tilden!!

#339 - You Take The Whole Bottle - Golden Richards Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who played for the Dallas Cowboys, with his golden hair, matching his name, and flowing from the back of his 1970s helmet. But there was definitely more going on than most knew. He was using pain pills to an absolutely insane level. He got so bad that his morning ritual will make you want to gag. This obviously ends up with legal problems, and an exorbitant amount of health issues!! A simply crazy story of the downfall of a "Golden Boy"!

Be the perfect Mormon boy, until you get to Dallas, tell everyone that your teeth hurt, and rummage through a college student's medicine cabinet for pills with Golden Richards!!

#338 - One Tough Broad - Evelyn Stevens Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look into a very different corner of the world, ladies wrestling! The old school women wrestlers were a tough lot. They could perform in the ring, then go clear out a West Texas bar with their fists! This particular woman was one of the very few to claim a legit win over the Fabulous Moolah! She was also married to a famous wrestler, and dated another, before ending up married to gym owner/bodybuilding trainer, and going down a rocky road. Neighbors watched them fighting, in the snow, and heard them fighting, in the house. This all leads to crazy showdown, that is reminiscent of another CIS subject, Sally McNeil!

Marry a wrestler, who will NEVER let another man call you a "whore", win the world title from the Fabulous Moolah, and make sure to lave a note, admitting to your crime with Evelyn Stevens!!

#337 - Jonestown... Or Idi Amin?? - John Brisker Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who never met a fight that he didn't like. He fought his way from the projects, to college, where he did a strange combination of extracurricular activities. He was the most feared man in the ABA, regularly punching out both opponents & teammates. His time in the NBA was cut short by his violent nature, so he went to Uganda to hang out with the dictator, Idi Amin... and was never heard from again. Or, did he die in Jonestown, with his aunt? Or, is he still alive somewhere, hiding from his problems?

Introduce yourself using your fists, turn basketball into a contact sport, and be called "Lebron James with anger issues" with John Brisker!!

#336 - Violent, Nasty & Possibly Misunderstood - Ty Cobb Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

This week, we go back in time to check out one of the most celebrated & controversial athletes of all time. He held just about every hitting record possible, when he retired, but this story is all about the craziness that surrounded him. His father & mother had about the grossest relationship ever, which ended violently. Ty was a violent guy, alcoholic, and one of the fiercest competitors to ever play any sport. He also got arrested for some crazy things. But is everything we've ever heard about Ty actually true? Or, was a lot of it the imagination of an author, looking to sell books?? Either way, this is one wild story!

Be a product of the most disgusting "relationship" of all time, hit over .400 on multiple occasions, and fight a butcher over your wife's fish order with Ty Cobb!!

#335 - Crack, Sacks & Sex - The Infamousness of Lawrence Taylor Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

This week, we finally look at one of the most requested athletes we've ever had. He is as legendary an NFL player as there is, changing the entire way the game is coached & played. He even headlined Wrestlemania. He also LOVED cocaine, crack, and prostitutes. Obviously, this leads to nothing but trouble with wives, the NFL, and most of all, police. The l;ast 40 years of his life have been nothing but glory, or drama. No middle ground, here. A simply wild & crazy life!

Change the way a game is played, be the most feared player in the league, get arrested for everything from crack to being with an underage prostitute with Lawrence Taylor!!

#334 - Better Than Hitler - Maxim "Mad Max" Novoselov Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

This week, we wade into seriously crazy waters with a Russian MMA fighter, who has killed multiple people, in brutal & extreme ways. Not only participating in death matches, but also in his business life. He trains with axes, hatchets, and bears, and even taught other prisoners how to do so, during one of his frequent stays. He is as much of a mystery as he is anything else, with his shadowy businesses, and crime underground past. One of the wildest people that we've ever covered!

Fight in death matches, at the edge of a quarry, lock people in a room & burn them alive, then brutalize your sparring partner with an axe with Maxim "Mad Mad" Novoselov!!

#333 - Groping Your Way To The Top - The Handsiness of Christian Peter Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who seemed made to play in the NFL. Huge, aggressive & reckless are some of the words that come to mind when thinking of him. Also, drunk, arrogant, and active with his hands. He was arrested at least 8 times just during his college career, while taking responsibility for some things, and none, for other things. His brother, Jason, also led a wild life & NFL career, with a crazy book about his own addiction to crack & heroin! This is one interesting pair of brothers!!

Gain the "freshman 50", fondle every woman within arm's reach, and blame it all on the booze with Christian Peter!!
