#224 - I'm Not Tonya Harding! - The Hardingness of Nicole Bobek Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

This week, we go somewhere we don't normally go, to discuss the utterly sad, and truly sorry story of an Olympic Figure Skater. She began skating at the age of 3, and rebelled pretty much ever since. She smoked, fought, went out to party, and did all the things that perfect little figure skaters aren't supposed to do... Which is fine, until you get into home invasions & meth use & distribution. It went really wrong, but can she turn it around?

Pull of a triple axel while smoking a Marlboro, get mixed up with the wrong crowd, and find out that jail is nothing like the Olympics with Nicole Bobek!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

#223 - A Most Epic Fall From Grace - The Groundbreakingness of Joe Gilliam Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

This week, we transport back to the 70s to look at a man who had it all, talent, ability, style... and a rip roarin' drug habit that consumed all in its path. So much so, that he went from being the first Black starting quarterback in the post-merger NFL era & being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, all the way down to a ton of arrests, including robbing a fast food restaurant at knifepoint, and eventual homelessness. Did he ever make it back, or did his lifestyle finally take him under, for good? This one is indescribably nuts!

Be an idol to many, and a source of anger to others, never let them cramp your style, and always hold at least one crack rock with "Jefferson Street" Joe Gilliam!!

#222 - Pele Never Did That - The Promisingness of Robinho Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

This week, we check on a man who was supposed to be the greatest player, ever in his sport. He was even told that by the actual greatest player to ever play his sport. The possibilities were endless, but life in Brazil was hard, considering the kidnapping of his mother, by a man they call "Brazilian Bin Laden". None of that seemed to give him any respect for women, though, judging by what he why he was convicted. But will he ever serve his time??

Be told by Pele that you're going to be better than Pele, get your mother back from terrorist kidnappers, and do some absolutely disgusting things in a nightclub, causing you to fear extradition to Italy with Robinho!!

#221 - Just One Big Misunderstanding - The Heedlessness of Derrick Coleman Aug 18, 2020

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who had all the size & ability to be an all time NBA great, but seemed to lack in the desire department. He did show a desire for getting arrested, as he had many more trips to jail, than the all-star game. He punches people in bars, gets accused of worse, all white referring to himself in the third person & blowing $91 million! What a mess!!

Grow tall & strong, don't ever let anybody tell you anything, and gain the body weight equalling a small human with Derrick Coleman!!

#220 - Running Away From The Truth - The Opaqueness of Oscar Pistorius Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

This week, we check out a story that starts with a man, born without the usual physical gifts bestowed upon our subjects. He overcame huge odds to make it to the Olympics, as a disabled person. While this was all happening, an ego was building inside of him. Everything comes to a head one night, when he fires four shots through his bathroom door, leaving his beautiful, intelligent, famous girlfriend dead, on the other side. He has one story, but the police have a completely different one!

Have your legs amputated at 11 months old, become an Olympic sprinter anyway, then shoot your girlfriend in the head, while claiming to mistake her for a burglar with Oscar "The Blade Runner" Pistorius!!

#219 - A Sandwich In Your Neck Hole - The Hungriness of Bobby Czyz Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

This week, we travel down the path of a sad, twisty story of a man who started with such promise. He came from a very abusive family, putting his toughness on display with a championship boxing career. The problem is, he also couldn't stop getting arrested. Find out why he said he father "made Hitler look like a choir boy", and just what the Gambino crime family had to do with all of this! What a wild journey!!

Have a horribly abusive father, turn your ability to take a beating into a career, and join MENSA with Bobby "Matinee Idol" Czyz!!

#218 - The Cuban Cowboy - The Bombasticness of Pedro "Pistola Pete" Ramos Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

This week, we explore the life of a man who went from the tobacco fields of Cuba, to Yankee Stadium, and nearly pitching a no hitter. But after a lengthy, yet mediocre baseball career, he embarked on several enterprises, such as making cigars, and being involved in the drug trade. Known for dressing up in elaborate cowboy outfits, and always carrying his trademark pistols, he was quite the character... Even in prison. This story spans from Mickey Mantle to the Miami cocaine trade of the 1980's! It's Pedro "Pistola Pete" Ramos!!

Sell cigarettes after school to support your family, become obsessed with cowboy outfits, and always carry at least two guns, especially when you're holding a couple of kilos!!

#217 - Don't You Dare Call Me Rachel! - The Robustness of Sebastian Janikowski Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

This week, we look at a man who came to America, in search of a better life... and apparently to be a jerk. His NFL career was long, but so is his criminal record. Even with his attempts to try to pass himself off as an innocent foreigner, it's pretty obvious that he k new what he was doing. The fighting, the drinking, the GHB, more fighting, more drinking... more GHB, and throw in a little bribery, just for fun!

Come from an Eastern Bloc country to make a better life, get away with anything based solely on your talent to kick a ball, and make sure to never take responsibility for your actions with Sebastian Janikowski!!

#216 - Violent, Crazy, Mean & Proud - The Rebelliousness of Jerome "New Jack" Young Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

This week, we bring you one of the most anticipated episodes. One that you've all been asking for. He was considered extra crazy, in a time & business where crazy was the currency. In wrestling, his violence was unparalleled, including using staple guns, a Nintendo, or anything else that could be considered an implement of violence. Sometimes, this included stabbing his opponent in a less than planned way. Justifiable homicides, drugs, and overall mayhem. Not only does he admit to it all, but he's not even sorry!

Go from bounty hunting to wrestling, be the most violent, feared guy around, and tell the world that you "did it & got away with it", with Jerome "New Jack" Young!!

#215 - The Cocaine Hall Of Fame - The Quotableness of Micheal "Sugar" Ray Richardson Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

This week, we travel back in time for a super swingin', cocaine snortin', late 70's/early 80's good time! He overcame some odds with his immense talent, but hit a major stumbling block with drugs. He partook in everything the New York lifestyle had to offer. He had all the women, partied at Studio 54 & Plato's Retreat, and snorted millions of dollars up his nose. Did he ever come out the other side, or did the whole thing end in tragedy? Either way, he has some of the most hilarious quotes in history. This is a fun one!!

Achieve the dream of making a better life for your family, discover the glory of freebasing cocaine, and throw away a potential hall of fame career with Micheal "Sugar" Ray Richardson!! (yes, that's how he spells it)
