#94 - How Many Stabs Does It Take... - The Appallingness of Terry Underwood Nov 21, 2017

Show notes

This week, we look at a guy that took such an intense wrong turn, that it boggles the mind. He started off as the model citizen. He did the right things. He said the right things. But when things went off the rails, they went as far off the rails as we've ever seen. The shocking brutality of his final crime is so heartless, and full of rage, that it's incredible he didn't snap sooner. Why did he do it? Mental illness? Brain damage? A diabolical plan? Or is he innocent? Either way, he's an idiot, and we have a great time pointing it out!! Also, he's not innocent.Follow the rules, always do the right thing, and then commit one of the most heartless slaughters imaginable with Terry Underwood!!Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie WhismanDonate at...patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGet all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com

#93 - There's A Gun In My Crawfish - The Disappointingness of Marcus Bullard Nov 13, 2017

Show notes

This week, we barrel down the path of a man who started life, in the worst of circumstances, only to fight his way out, then fight even harder to get right back to a terrible life. Chance after chance yielded nothing but more arrests, more crack & meth, more gun play, and more jail. This is truly a tale of a person who just could not accept 'yes' as answer. He's a mess, and we love it!Have 3 kids before high school is over, sell crack to cops, and fire some shots out the car window with Marcus Bullard!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#92 - Such Is Annihilation - The Chaoticness of Ben Cousins Nov 07, 2017

Show notes

This week, we shuffle down the path of pure chaos, with a self destructive, drug addled lunatic, with an unquenchable desire to be the best. Whether it be in the Australian Football League, or in the much more challenging world of smoking as much meth as possible, swimming across rivers to get away from police, or scaring his wife, and kids with his inexplicable behavior. His run of arrests is legendary, including the most amazing airport arrest, featuring a simply awful hiding place!Hop the fence of a military installment, take police on a slow speed chase, and do as many drugs as you can possibly cram into your body with Ben Cousins!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#91 - Like Peanut Butter & Cocaine - The Hardheadedness of Michael Nunn Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

This week, we are buried in a mountain of cocaine, violence, stupidity, arrogance, and just plain crazy. A tough guy turned world champion that could never quite let go of his old friends, neighborhood, and terrible habits. He fights opponents in the ring... and police, girlfriends, wives, family foes, trainers, and even elderly motorists, outside the ring. His tale is a winding road of lunacy, and bad decisions, ending in a prison sentence worthy of a murderer. Right up our alley!!Stuff a kilo down your pants, curl up inside your sister's dryer, and take part in Junior on Junior violence with Michael "Second To" Nunn!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#90 - Rich Kid Gone Rogue - The Dishonestness of Byron McLaughlin Oct 24, 2017

Show notes

This week, we dive deep into the story of a man who a mediocre talent, but had a penchant for lying, and scamming that knew no bounds. He started life with everything, and went to school with movie stars, but that didn't stop him from ending up in some of the lowest situations a person could find themselves. He was both a common drug dealer, and an international counterfeiter. Born with a silver spoon, he went from playing catch on the beach with Sandy Koufax, to being a gun toting guy, with an attitude problem that got him pushed out of major league baseball, then wanted by federal, state, and international authorities. A real peach of a fella.Sell a mountain of cocaine to a police officer, be the most hated man in the world of sneakers, and bribe your way out of a North African prison with Byron McLaughlin!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#89 - A Monsoon Of Bad Decisions - The Goldenness of Jason "Mayhem" Miller Oct 17, 2017

Show notes

This week, we tell a tale that unravels into a downpour of disaster, and stupidity. A fighter who cared more about being entertaining, than being successful. And he was entertaining, as long as you weren't a woman, a bouncer, a police officer, a SWAT Team member, a church, or the owner of a tattoo shop. He's a menace to polite society, but an absolute gem for our purposes.

#88 - Flexing His Murder Muscle - The Unthinkableness Of John Riccardi Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

This week, we explore a story without much sports, but with plenty of nasty, lowdown, dirty crime. He was an amateur bodybuilder, a con man, a hustler, a cat burglar, and a cold blooded killer. His obsession with a girlfriend leads him to unimaginable places. Places like stalking, threatening, breaking in & holding a teenager at gunpoint... and worse. So much worse. This story has it all. Tragedy, an idiot, trying to pretend that he's something he's not, and a famous result of the horrific circumstances. It's a wild ride, so strap in!!Give yourself a "cool" first name, threaten complete strangers, and be the cause of untold heartache with John Riccardi!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#87 - Liar, Liar, Life On Fire - The Aristocraticness of Roscoe Tanner Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

This week, we look at a country club frequenting, high society mingling, high stakes gambling, cocktail sipping, cocaine snorting, womanizing kind of guy. A wanna be James Bond that had neither the resources, nor brains to pul off that kind of lifestyle. He lied to everyone that he ever met, swindled money from anyone that he possibly could, and ruined every relationship that he ever had. He started with the best circumstances, and went downhill from there. Bad for him, and everyone that he ever encountered, but hilarious for us!Set a world record, ruin several marriages, then lie, cheat, and steal your way to prison with Roscoe "The Rocket" Tanner!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#86 - Immensely Naked Mistakes - The Forcefulness of Ruben Patterson Sep 26, 2017

Show notes

This week, we wade into aggressive, and dangerous waters, with a man who simply could not wait to blow every chance he was given, and do more, and worse things wrong. He worked hard to get himself out of a bad situation, only to put himself, and others in an even worse situation. His crimes are incomprehensible. His responses are downright infuriating. He's a mean drunk, and he's not afraid to use violence to get his point across. Those ingredients make for an awful human being, but a great Crime In Sports cocktail!!Steal things that are free, punch anyone in your path, and never, ever take "no" for an answer with Ruben Patterson!!Check us out, every Tuesday.

#85 - The Attack Of The Disoriented Sasquatch - The Uncooperativeness of Barret Robbins Sep 19, 2017

Show notes

This week, we explore the inner workings, and outer actions of a man who was on the cusp of what he worked his whole life for, only to have it all pulled away. What caused him to spin out of control? Drugs? Alcohol? Steroids? Mental Illness? Brain Damage? The answer is yes. Yes to all of those things, making one of the most flammable cocktails ever put together by a criminal athlete. And making for some of the wildest times we've ever covered. An insanely hilarious journey into the life of the man who missed the Super Bowl, and barely even knew it.Wander around without shoes, miss your chance to play in the Super Bowl, and get shot right in the heart with Barret Robbins!!Check us out, every Tuesday.
