#144 - The Choking Yachtsman - The Seaworthiness of Latrell Sprewell Jan 08, 2019

Show notes

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!

Make yourself $100 million, choke your boss, and end up penniless with Latrell Sprewell!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

#143 - A Hubcap In Your Gillooly - The Classiness of Tonya Harding Jan 01, 2019

Show notes

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!!

Pop off a record setting triple axle, plot an international incident with your ex-husband, and attack a boyfriend with a hubcap with Tonya Harding!!

#141 - Legally Gross - The Lewdness of Mike McBain Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

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!!

#140 - Those Are The Symptoms - The Unaccountableness of Dale Crowe Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

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!! Fight your way up the rankings ladder, participate in subpar events, in smoky bars, and pretend that you're a different person as soon as you're charged with murder with Dale "The Crow" Crowe!!

#139 - Guns, Glory & Federal Court - The Eventfulness of Maurice Clarett Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

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!! Challenge a major industry in court, carry all your guns when driving around near the home of a witness, set to testify against you, and when in doubt, always "Go Goosin'" with Maurice Clarett!!

#138 - Minivans, Cocaine & Multiple Gunshot Wounds - The Mistakenness of Charles Smith Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

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!! Beat the odds to achieve your dream, attempt to run from the scene of your biggest mistake, and sell cocaine from behind the bar with Charles Smith!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

#137 - Great Robberies & Regular Shootings - The Briskness of Roy "The Weasel" James Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

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. Its a roller coaster of a mess of a life! Hilarious!! Have a need to push the boundaries of speed & society, take part in international gang robberies, and shoot your ex-father in law, while strangling your ex-wife with Roy "The Weasel" James!!

#136 - Road House Thunderdome - The Precipitousness of Harold Howard Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

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!! Become a national champion fighter, judge make up way too harshly, and hit your sister with a hammer with Harold Howard!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

#135 - A Valium & Flatulence Cocktail - The Regrettableness of Lamarr Hoyt Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

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!! Be abandoned by your parents, reach your goals, then get busted with drugs as many times as you possibly can with Lamarr Hoyt!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!
