#43 - A Murderous Gentleman - The Selfishness Of Chris Adams Nov 21, 2016

Show notes

This week, we are bursting with crime, madness, general mayhem, as we discuss a man that couldn't help but give in to his demons. No good time was good enough for him to not end in violence. His crimes were almost always fueled by alcohol, and drugs, and their severity only got worse with his appetites. Let's just say that he didn't quite live up to his nickname of "Gentleman". He went from a promising life, at the top of his profession, to the depths of darkness, and depravity. So far, that not even his proper English accent could save him. You know, the kind of person we like to cover! Climb up to the top rope, drink until you don't remember your name, then attack the nearest human being with "Gentleman" Chris Adams!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

#42 - All Of The Intent, None Of The Remorse - The Heartlessness of Russell Erxleben Nov 15, 2016

Show notes

This week, we check out a tale of lies, manipulation, and woe that leads a man from being a first round NFL draft pick, to being a regular resident of federal prison, leaving behind a mountain of victims, and shattered lives. His ego is huge, his crimes are monumental. It's a story that keeps taking weirder, and weirder turns, and eventually involves Hitler, ex-US Supreme Court Nominee Harriet Miers, a famous piece of art, and even a US president. So much failure. So much destruction. So much fun!! Puff up your ego, miss a game winning field goal, and ruin the lives of hundreds with Russell Erxleben!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

#41 - Murder Is A Strange Thank You - The Despicableness of James Butler Nov 08, 2016

Show notes

This week, we explore a dark tale of violence, betrayal, and most of all, irony. A rough childhood, plus lousy impulse control, and a heaping helping of mental illness, equals a boxer who was too crazy for the ring. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, he wasn't exactly a superstar of regular society, either. His final crime is one of the most horrible, and deplorable things we've ever talked about. He's a bad guy, and we have a rip roarin' time, tearing the whole situation to shreds. It's a wild ride!Lose your mind, burn your bridges, and sucker punch someone who doesn't deserve it with James "The Hammer" Butler!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

#40 - Would You Kill For A Pizza? - The Homelessness of Darrell Allums Nov 01, 2016

Show notes

This week, we take a look at a man who was as much of a failure on the basketball court as he was in life. His career was short, but that just left him more time to pursue other activities, such as finding crack, smoking crack, then finding ways to get more crack. He was a menace to any polite society, especially the poor pizza delivery men of Los Angeles. It's sad, twisted, sordid tale of human disaster. In other words, he's right up our alley.Get cut by your team, grab a screwdriver, and steal anything that isn't bolted down with Darrell Allums!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

#38 - A Symphony of Self Destruction - The Carelessness of Stanley Wilson Oct 18, 2016

Show notes

This week, we take a stroll down the path of complete human disaster with a man who let his love of cocaine, and cocaine related idiocy destroy every one of his many opportunities for success. He took the chance to be a Super Bowl hero, and flushed it directly down the toilet, then things somehow got worse... His needs took him down a sad, sordid trail of living in his car, bagging groceries, and crime, that culminates in a lengthy sentence. Stay tuned for the end of the episode to hear what his son, Stanley Jr has done in recent months. Let's just say that the fun definitely doesn't skip a generation. It's a father-son extravaganza of athlete crime!Blow off the Super Bowl, find yourself some cocaine, and lock yourself in the bathroom with Stanley Wilson!!Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

#37 - How Many Bodies In The Ocean? - The Needlessness of John Paul Sr. Oct 11, 2016

Show notes

This week, delve deep into a story unlike any other we've done. Sure, his crimes are just as vicious, and definitely just as stupid, but more than anyone else, he didn't have to do any of it. He was an immigrant, from a war torn country, that earned a graduate's degree from Harvard, and millions of dollars, only to have his life devolve into a mess of drug smuggling, running from the law, shooting witnesses, running from the law some more, getting quickie divorces in Haiti, while under suspicion of killing his wife, and ill fated prison escape attempts. You know, the normal life of mathematical genius, race car driver. This episode is jam packed with crime, and has the most interesting ending of any story that we've ever done.A description could never do it justice.Fire up your engine, load up the drugs, and push your spouse overboard with John Paul Sr!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

#36 - Which Father To Kill? - The Haziness of Mike Danton Oct 04, 2016

Show notes

This week, we find ourselves in an avalanche of craziness. The story has so many twists, and turns that it's sometimes difficult to figure out where to direct our scorn. An NHL player's murder for hire plot gone wrong, amongst a backdrop of mental illness, abuse, and a relationship between a hockey player, and his coach/agent that falls somewhere between life partners, and cult leader/follower. It's a wild story, chock full of terrible people. We couldn't be more thrilled. Grab your stick, hit the ice, and ask a girl named Katie to find you a hit man with Mike Danton!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

Show notes

This week, we have an extra long episode, full of extra crime, and stupidity, featuring a man that has been weaving in, and out of legal troubles for five decades. He goes from having one of the best seasons in baseball history, to decades of scandal, and prison, for things like bookmaking, cocaine distribution, extortion, money laundering, fugitive smuggling, and much more, including a Secret Service investigation into his involvement with, and cheating of, some of the biggest names in the mafia, including the Gottis. He's led a life of pure disaster, and we bring it to you for your pleasure. It's a sordid tale of one man, screwing up his life, and the lives of many, many others, as much as one man possibly could.Fire up your plane, tune up the ol' organ, and screw up your life like nobody in history with Denny Mclain!!Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!
