Crime In Sports

This week, we check out a couple of wild men. A pair of skateboarding Aussie brothers, who shot to the top of the rankings while doings copious amounts of drugs, and trying to start fist fights with Tony Hawk. This all leads to even more drugs, bad marriages, smuggling, jail, and murder! It's a wild ride, that seems to have one unpredictable thing, after another, including how each brother ends up!Be a pro athlete at age 12, find a taste for fame & drugs, then murder your prostitute girlfriend, while on a meth binge with Tas & Ben Pappas!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!!  Contact us on... twitter.com/crimeinsports crimeinsports@gmail.

This week, we discuss the worst, most vile, disgusting, repugnant, repulsive, abhorrent, disturbing, awful, and terrible person that we've ever discussed. He was an MLB player, who never quite lived up to his early hype, before bouncing around the Mexican leagues. But the real story is his sickening life, and final horrifying crime. The facts are certainly not for the easily squeamish!! Seriously. Be a baseball phenom, flame out of the majors, and commit a crime so bad, that even rival prison factions should agree that you deserve some retribution with Sergio Mitre!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!!  Contact us on... twitter.com/crimeinsports 

This week, we look at an NFL player, who seemed to wait until he got to the NFL to start getting into trouble, and making a general fool of himself. He's had so many police interactions, that he might as well have joined a department. His driving is a major problem, but his attitude, and the company he keeps are what really screw him up. Did he bail out a friend, who was accused of throwing a stabbed teenager into the Hudson River? It's this kind of publicity that made him a constant problem for the league, his family, and himself!!Stay home for college, always hang around with the wrong people, and take all that you have for granted, until everyone finally gets sick of you with Kenny Britt!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com

This week, we catch up with a modern guy, who had a hard time, from the start. Mainly because he didn't know his father, but that was probably a good thing, considering how absolutely insane his father turned out to be. He came to the NBA right out of high school, but never quite became the star he thought he'd be. He did turn out to be one of the luckiest guys, to get away with what he did, and receive such a minimal penalty. You'll be yelling "450" at every dumb thing you see, from now on!!Be lucky you never met your father, get away with a terrible crime, and don't seem to even feel bad about it, and get some of the dumbest tattoos possible with DeShawn Stevenson!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgive

This week, we finish up what is maybe the strangest, and most crime soaked life, in sports history. He shows the holiday spirit by fighting an entire police squad, on Christmas Day. He also is involved in one of the most iconic, and controversial fights, in history, against Ali. Did he throw the fight? Did the mafia make him? The Nation of Islam? In the end, Sonny winds up dead, in a terrible condition. Which leads to even more conspiracies? Was it a simple OD? Heart problems? Or, was he murdered? If so... Who did it? The mystery continues...Fight 10 cops on Christmas Day, try to rehab your image by being a "nice guy", and have your death be a mystery, that endures for decades with Sonny Liston!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless

This week, we check back in with Sonny Liston for Part 2! When we left off, last week, he was being arrested. As we kick off this week, he's getting arrested! Sense a pattern here? We cover a very strange incident, in which Sonny pretends to be a cop, and several other run ins with individual police officers. All of this, while becoming the heavyweight champion of the world, and (sort of) training for his first fight against Ali. Not to mention, his thoughts on the civil rights movement of the early 1960s, and being investigated by senate committees!Pretend to be a police officer to pull women over, eat hot dogs & drink beer to prepare to fight The Greatest, and get arrested a whole bunch more with Sonny Liston!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at cri

This week, we look at maybe the greatest sports crime personality of all time!! He was the heavyweight champion of the world, but is best known for being the guy on the mat, with Ali standing over him, in the most famous sports photo, ever. But his real profession was crime. Lots of crime. He was arrested more times than could be counted, and things only escalated, as he got older. He is, in real life, what Tupac was, in his own rhymes. The legend. The gangster. The champion! Part one is soaked with crime, and the rest will be the same!!Have no idea when you were born, be one of 26 children, and always punch, first, and ask questions, later with Sonny Liston!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgivememurder

This week, we skate back into the brain damage sports, with a Hall of Fame hockey player, who has definitely been done some terrible things, and has been accused of worse. The main problem appeared to be a desire, on his part, to not have his pants on, during times when his pants should most certainly be on. This leads to some angry neighbors, police surveillance, and an accusation of one of the worst things you could think of... in a limo... with 3 other players, and a 17 year old girl. Quite the wild life, and lack of personal responsibility!!Snap your leg in half, before you even get to the NHL, wear very strange outfits that absolutely don't cover what needs to covered, and have no accountability whatsoever with Dino Ciccarelli!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS &

This week, we dive back into the "brain damage sports" with a man who played both pro football, and had a decent career as a wrestler. He's a giant Minnesota guy, who grew up with many of the famous wrestlers of the 80s & 90s, but never quite broke through to the main event level. Where he is a main event talent, is in getting arrested. He has been arrested over 15 times for basically the same thing! Keep this man away from all car keys! He's certainly a menace, but a very entertaining menace, who has done enough crazy stuff for 3 normal lifetimes!!Be a giant man in Minnesota, follow in the mold of Bruiser Brody, and never drive, if you're sober enough to see the road with John "The Berzerker" Nord!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.th

This week, we go back in time to look at the life of a major league baseball player. His career ended in the 1920s, so he switched his profession to drinking, and trying to get a younger woman to like him, regardless of the fact that he's married. Not surprisingly, this ends badly, when he tracks his young lady friend to a hotel, where a ukulele playing suitor serenades the object of Sam's affection. Gunshots, ukulele beatings, and a gauntlet of good samaritans make this wild scene even more interesting! A very wild ride!!Play baseball before The Dodgers were even The Dodgers, drink yourself into looking 30 years older than you are, and always answer any perceived slight with gunfire with "Lucky" Sam Crane!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsport

This week, we check out the happenings of one of the most vilified athletes of the 21st century. He went from an incredible level of college glory, to doing just about nothing right, in the NFL. He drank, he did drugs, he didn't study films... and of course he got arrested. Quite a bit. The type of arrests that result in shirtless, smirking mugshots, that could drive anyone insane! In the end, he was done with football by his late 20s, and had solidified his reputation as one of the worst decisions that a pro franchise ever made, and a general menace to society!!Come from oil money, that allows you to grow up at a country club, set all sorts of amazing college football records, then throw it away by making every mistake that is humanly possible with Johnny Manziel!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gma

This week, we look into the life of a man who won an Olympic medal, before sneaking into the US, from Cuba, on a cargo ship. Within a few years, he committed one of the strangest crimes, in the history of Florida, which is saying something. He ends up having a half decent MMA career, at an older age, but then gets himself involved in one of the most callous, and brutal murders that is possible to commit. What starts out as a nice story, quickly turns to a very scary one!!Float to the US amongst some cargo, on a ship, start your MMA career, after you seem to already have brain damage, and set up of a kidnapping/torture/murder, while training for your next fight with Alexis "The Exorcist" Vila!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.co

This week, we check out the life of a man who had plenty of good things happen to him, due strictly to the fact that he is 7 feet tall. He squandered his opportunities, while smiling his way out of a job, and eventually, his freedom. He was called "the worst driver of any Detroit athlete" by a newspaper, and that was only the start. He ends up being very familiar with prison, due to his constant drug use, and apparent intent to distribute cocaine! Did he ever turn it around, or is he still wandering through life, just hitting his head on things??Be the worst driver in Detroit, threaten to fight a cop, while you have a car full of weed, and be careful not to get "back stabbed" with William Bedford!!Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com  Get all the CIS & STM merch a

This week, we delve into something completely different, by discussing a Dutch beach volleyball player, who is accomplishing a very infamous feat, by getting an episode of this show, before his 30th birthday. Based on that, you know he did something horrible, and you're right. He absolutely did. He has everything a person could want, but that's not enough for him, as he also has to insist on being one of the worst people that you can be! Does this take his career away? Not at all. Partners will still play with him, and tournaments will allow him to compete. Like it never happened!Be from a place that's famous for eating the livers of a couple of prominent citizens, be 6'6" and able to spike a volleyball, and make everybody sick, not only with your actions, but your reactions to your actions with Steven Van de Velde!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports o

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!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com  

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!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgiv

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!!Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our

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!!Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com  Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com  Go to shutupandgive

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!!Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/c

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?
