| #348 - A Booze, Pills & Crack Guy - John "The Berzerker" Nord | 28 Mar 2023 | 02:11:24 | |
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!

| #347 - Ukulele Versus Gun - "Lucky" Sam Crane | 21 Mar 2023 | 02:13:00 | |
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!!

| #346 - Arrogant, Idiotic & Punchable - Johnny Manziel | 14 Mar 2023 | 02:24:16 | |
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!!

| #345 - S'mores Over A Genital Fire - Alexis "The Exorcist" Vila | 07 Mar 2023 | 01:56:46 | |
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!!

| #344 - The Laziest Kid In America - William Bedford | 28 Feb 2023 | 02:10:19 | |
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!

| #343 - Cookies & Condoms - Steven Van de Velde | 21 Feb 2023 | 01:49:33 | |
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!!

| #342 - A Man Of Violence - Brandon Browner | 14 Feb 2023 | 01:57:42 | |
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!

| #341 - Dinner Iguanas & Murder - Julio Machado | 07 Feb 2023 | 01:44:53 | |
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!!

| #340 - Charlie Chaplin Can't Save You - "Big" Bill Tilden | 31 Jan 2023 | 01:59:00 | |
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!

| #339 - You Take The Whole Bottle - Golden Richards | 24 Jan 2023 | 02:02:37 | |
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!!

| #437 - From Pioneer To Prisoner - Tom Payne - Part 1 | 03 Dec 2024 | 02:14:06 | |
This week, we look at a man who broke barriers, both in good ways, and VERY bad ways. He was the first black player in the history of Kentucky basketball. He was one of the first players to come out of college, early, to join the NBA. His future seemed bright, until multiple accusations pop up, concerning the tallest rapist in history. He even has a certain signature to let police know what he did. Will he turn it all around, for part 2?? Become a pioneer of race relations, claim "hardship" to get into the NBA, so you can take care of your family, and be arrested for many rapes, in multiple states with Tom Payne - Part 1!!

| #338 - One Tough Broad - Evelyn Stevens | 17 Jan 2023 | 01:53:01 | |
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!

| #337 - Jonestown... Or Idi Amin?? - John Brisker | 10 Jan 2023 | 01:53:32 | |
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? Introduce yourself using your fists, turn basketball into a contact sport, and be called "Lebron James with anger issues" with John Brisker!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #336 - Violent, Nasty & Possibly Misunderstood - Ty Cobb | 03 Jan 2023 | 02:08:04 | |
This week, we go back in time to check out one of the most celebrated & controversial athletes of all time. He held just about every hitting record possible, when he retired, but this story is all about the craziness that surrounded him. His father & mother had about the grossest relationship ever, which ended violently. Ty was a violent guy, alcoholic, and one of the fiercest competitors to ever play any sport. He also got arrested for some crazy things. But is everything we've ever heard about Ty actually true? Or, was a lot of it the imagination of an author, looking to sell books?? Either way, this is one wild story! Be a product of the most disgusting "relationship" of all time, hit over .400 on multiple occasions, and fight a butcher over your wife's fish order with Ty Cobb!!

This week, we finally look at one of the most requested athletes we've ever had. He is as legendary an NFL player as there is, changing the entire way the game is coached & played. He even headlined Wrestlemania. He also LOVED cocaine, crack, and prostitutes. Obviously, this leads to nothing but trouble with wives, the NFL, and most of all, police. The l;ast 40 years of his life have been nothing but glory, or drama. No middle ground, here. A simply wild & crazy life!

| #334 - Better Than Hitler - Maxim "Mad Max" Novoselov | 20 Dec 2022 | 01:45:35 | |
This week, we wade into seriously crazy waters with a Russian MMA fighter, who has killed multiple people, in brutal & extreme ways. Not only participating in death matches, but also in his business life. He trains with axes, hatchets, and bears, and even taught other prisoners how to do so, during one of his frequent stays. He is as much of a mystery as he is anything else, with his shadowy businesses, and crime underground past. One of the wildest people that we've ever covered! Fight in death matches, at the edge of a quarry, lock people in a room & burn them alive, then brutalize your sparring partner with an axe with Maxim "Mad Mad" Novoselov!!

| #333 - Groping Your Way To The Top - The Handsiness of Christian Peter | 13 Dec 2022 | 03:08:04 | |
This week, we look at a man who seemed made to play in the NFL. Huge, aggressive & reckless are some of the words that come to mind when thinking of him. Also, drunk, arrogant, and active with his hands. He was arrested at least 8 times just during his college career, while taking responsibility for some things, and none, for other things. His brother, Jason, also led a wild life & NFL career, with a crazy book about his own addiction to crack & heroin! This is one interesting pair of brothers!! Gain the "freshman 50", fondle every woman within arm's reach, and blame it all on the booze with Christian Peter!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

Unfortunately, his style of getting arrested was also very different. Whether it's having sex, while driving a Ferrari on the freeway, or just dropping through an electronics store ceiling, to steal lap tops, and urinate in the fax machine. He fought cops, regular people, his wife, and his girlfriend, in the street. All of this while being on an insane amount of cocaine! In the end, the whole thing is a murder mystery, for the ages!! Call going to Rikers Island "just having some fun", snort more cocaine by yourself than most mid sized cities, and have one of your girlfriends & your sister fight at your funeral with Hector "Macho" Camacho!! Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

| #330 - All You Need Is Love... And Heroin - The Unenlightenedness of Reggie Harding | 22 Nov 2022 | 03:10:08 | |
This week, we look at the first high school basketball player to be drafted by the NBA. The problem was, by that time, he was already accumulating a criminal record that would far surpass anything he would ever do on the basketball court. He was accused of awful things, including an allegedly doing one of those awful things to a future member of The Supremes. He never learned his lesson. Kept drinking, shooting heroin, and finally robbing drug dealers to make a living. This all ends as badly as you might think, but the story isn't over, because his son (a junior) has done even worse things!! Go straight from high school to the NBA, knock a policeman's hat off his head, and turn into your local, neighborhood Omar with Reggie Harding!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #329 - Drugs, Death Penalties & Shipping Fees - The Innovativeness of Reginald Spiers | 15 Nov 2022 | 02:35:21 | |
This week, we check out one of the weirdest, craziest stories, ever! He was an Australian javelin thrower, but there isn't much sports to talk about here. Why? Because this guy did so much more. Including putting himself into a wooden box, and shipping himself COD from London, all the way to Australia. From there, he got deep into drug smuggling, with some pretty ingenious ideas. Only problem is, he keeps getting caught. Including being caught with heroin in Sri Lanka, and being sentenced to death! Did he survive to smuggle another day?? Throw things for international acclaim, ship yourself 13,000 miles, and start a smuggling ring with all of your best friends with Reginald Spiers!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #436 - The Smooth Pervert - Brian Phelps | 26 Nov 2024 | 02:05:51 | |
This week, we look at a British Olympic diver, who took the country by storm, as a teenager. He married an Olympic gymnast, and set out to have the perfect life. They did traveling acrobatic shows, then settled on making a business out of making kids into Olympians, with their gym. This was going great, until many, many women accuse him of taking them into a basement called "Happyland", back when he "coached" them. Be a national hero by the time you're barely a teenager, marry a medal winning gymnast, and destroy both your legacy & the lives of a lot of people, all at the same time!!

| #328 - Gangs, Guns, Patriots & Prison - The Truculentness of Aaron Hernandez | 08 Nov 2022 | 03:23:33 | |
This week, we look at one of the violent, aggressive, and disturbing individuals, to ever enter the NFL. And that's saying something. From his early, and ongoing gang ties, to the fact that he was pretty sure he could get away with anything. He almost did get away with anything, until the bullets started flying. His best friend accused him of shooting this friend in the eye, and he was tried for 3 different murders! His prison life was just as crazy, with fights, attacks, and eventually ending it all, in a horrific way, and leaving a few notes behind! Be too crazy for football, shoot your best friend over a minor disagreement, and be convicted for the murder of another friend, while being tried for two more murders with Aaron Hernandez!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #327 - Popeye, Superman, Or The Devil - The Unmanageableness of "Fast" Eddie Rothman | 01 Nov 2022 | 02:51:16 | |
This week, we catch a huge wave... of crime, with a legend of the North Shore surf scene. He has had a lot to do with tournaments, and competitions, all around the islands, but he is best known for starting what could have definitely been called a gang, consisting of local surfers, using threats & physical force to keep the waves all to the locals. The group was also accused of being a crime ring, complete with drug trafficking, and the violence to back up those activities. A gruff, tough guy, with a dark past, and one of the most harrowing childhoods ever!! Be at home on the waves, fight to keep tourists off of those waves, and beat several local, state, and federal charges, for drugs to violence with "Fast" Eddie Rothman!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #326 - The Most Dangerous Man In The Mafia - The Mercilessness of Joe "The Animal" Barboza | 25 Oct 2022 | 03:07:04 | |
This week, we look at a man who was born into terrible circumstances, and only made them worse. He had a brief boxing career, but this story is all about crime, murder, mayhem, and a man who will bite your face off! He was a loanshark, bookie, and general all around New England mob associate, who spread out into murder with such ferocity that the head of the FBI called him the most dangerous man in the United States. As you might imagine, this story doesn't end well for anyone, and it ends exactly the way the rest of the story was... violently! Follow in your father's footsteps of being a violent lunatic, scare everyone from mobsters, to cops, to prison officials, and have 26 murders under your belt with Joe "The Animal" Barboza!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #325 - Too Many Accusations, Not Enough Jail - The Slipperiness of "Jungle" Jim Rivera | 18 Oct 2022 | 02:48:05 | |
This week, we go back in time to look at man man who grew up in an orphanage, during The Great Depression! He turned to street gangs, boxing & baseball, but WWII came calling before he could become a pro at anything. While in the Army, he was boxing champion, and convicted rapist, sentenced to life in military prison, but he gets another shot at the outside world, because he happens to be the star of the prison baseball team. A major league career, brings him some World Series glory, a cool nickname, and more sexually deviant charges. Even retirement, and old age doesn't stop more very awful charges from coming his way!! Grow up in an orphanage, even though your father is still alive, get thrown in prison, rather than fighting Hitler, and always slip out of truly disgusting accusations with "Jungle" Jim Rivera!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #324 - The Most Beloved Hated Man - The Impetuousness of Allen "The Answer" Iverson | 11 Oct 2022 | 03:05:40 | |
This week, we bask in the long, successful, and insane life of a guy who was as good as it gets, on the basketball court, but a little shaky, off it. He is always fearless, and that fearlessness also translates to police, and court proceedings, Whether it's telling a police officer to go ahead, and take his Lamborghini, because he "has 10 more", or allegedly throwing his naked wife out of the house... multiple times. Or, maybe it's just running into his cousin's apartment, armed, and angry, threatening to "make an example" of someone. Whatever he does, it's a party. But not a party at Bally's Casino, because he urinated into a garbage can there, and isn't allowed back on the property!! Be a two sport superstar, get sent to prison over a tenuous charge, and blow $150 million with Allen "The Answer" Iverson!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #323 - Mature... Or Whatever - The Destructiveness of Aldon Smith | 04 Oct 2022 | 02:55:26 | |
This week, we look at an NFL player, who burst onto the scene with force, becoming one of the best defensive prospects in a generation. And that's exactly what happened... For a little while, anyway. Then he started getting arrested. And kept getting arrested. Booze, violence, drugs, terrible driving, jumping from windows while holding a tequila bottle, and with possible blood, dripping from his mouth. He's become a bit of a menace, not only to himself, but anyone who accepts his wedding proposal, or comes to his house for a party. This story is loaded with crime! Be the next Lawrence Taylor, drink two bottles of tequila & bite your fiancee, then keep making fools of NFL General Managers with Aldon Smith!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #322 - Hiding On The Top Rope - The Daringness of Jeff Hardy | 27 Sep 2022 | 03:01:56 | |
This week, we check out a man who has kept large crowds on their toes, for decades. Whether it's diving off a 20 foot ladder onto their opponent, or being a spectacle in the local police files, he has always been one to watch! He has always been considered one of the best wrestlers, ever, but he never sticks around any promotion long enough to be the backbone, due to his constant drug/alcohol problems, and his general outright refusal to get help, even when his high paying job is on the line. He crashes, he paints himself, he can be a walking disaster! It's Jeff Hardy!! Learn to sew when you're 9 years old, refuse any help, even if your job depends on it, and ride 105 feet down a roadside guardrail with Jeff Hardy!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #321 - The Real Murdering McCoy - The Realness of Charles "Kid" McCoy AKA Norman Selby | 20 Sep 2022 | 03:09:43 | |
This week, we go back to a much different time, with a man who had his first boxing match in 1891, after learning to fight against "hobos" in train cars at age 13! He wasn't some boring, old timey guy, though. He was a scammer, and a flamboyant fighter, who did many things for the first time. He invented "your shoes are untied", then knocking someone out, when they looked down. He employed thumbtacks. He was a part of fixed fights. He did it all. Including appearing in many silent films, and even teaching Charlie Chaplin to box. All of this leads to a terrible murder, of course. A murder that sends him to prison, where he does more interesting things! A wild trip down a black & white lane!! Run away from home at 13, become the first showboat of boxing, and try to convince the police that the woman you're having an affair with actually stabbed & shot herself with Charles "Kid" McCoy!!

| #320 - Jailing Nemo - The Designatedness of Nemessis Bates | 13 Sep 2022 | 02:43:46 | |
This week, we look at the story of a man, who never quite achieved his goal to be an NFL player, did achieve a lot in the worlds of both car washing, and violence! He was involved with what could be described as "the wrong people", who were involved in an underground enterprise, so big, that the leader was considered The King of New Orleans. This was enforced with the help of a hitman, who used 2 guns, at once, and appeared in rap videos. This all leads to a confrontation over money, and Nemessis (real name!!) decides to unleash some of this organization's violent ways on the man he feels deserves it! Play for a major college program, but get injured in your senior year, make friends with the most violent gang in town, use this power to kill someone who dares to cross you with Nemessis "Nemo" Bates!!

This week, we check out the life of a man, who has had some ups and downs, to say the least. A tremendous baseball player, with all the accolades & championships, but off the field, he was anything but a champion. From wife punching, to a multi decade crack/cocaine addiction, complete with drug rehab escapes, to terrible driving. This guy spends a long time just not getting it, but will he ever come around, and ditch the demons?? Have a beautiful left handed swing, escalate all arguments with your significant other, and go to great lengths to find cocaine with Darryl Strawberry!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #435 - Criminal, Or Crazy Person? - Everson Griffen | 19 Nov 2024 | 02:07:44 | |
This week, we check out a Pro Bowl NFL player, who had so many physical tools, that he was nicknamed "The Freak", but things tended to fall apart in the brain area. He was always a bit wild, but they truly spiral out of control, by the time he's shirtless, and hiding in the bushes, after trying to break into a teammate's house because "God told him to"! Mental illness? Drugs? Too many blows to the head? All of the above???

| #318 - The Waterboy Lays Pipe - The Sensitiveness of J.R. Smith | 30 Aug 2022 | 02:51:50 | |
This week, we look at the wild, crazy life of a man who was trained since before birth for basketball greatness. He also loves to put his foot in his mouth, should stay off social media, for his own good, and he should absolutely, positively NEVER drive a car. From a tragic, and awful accident, with criminal implications, to fights with fans at 4am. He has it all! Despite all of this, he's pretty likable, just don't ask him for a picture, on the street, or your phone may end up thrown onto the next block!! Hook on to a superstar & ride the success wave, make the strangest social media post about 9/11 in history, and throw a bowl of soup at a coach with J.R. Smith!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #317 - Bloody Bodies & Bad Excuses - The Treacherousness of Joaquin "Fire" Balassa | 23 Aug 2022 | 02:50:06 | |
This week, we check out a man who is known very little for his brief MMA career, but he is a "superstar" of crime. After washing out of the lowest levels of MMA, he takes a job at Home Depot, meeting some new friends, and trying to lead a normal life. He meets some new friends, while selling them a barbecue, which to a night of heavy drinking, and good times. The problem is, at the end of the night, both of his new friends are dead, and the entire scene is soaked in blood. But he denies it all... until he decides that it was self defense, with one of the most ridiculous stories/excuses of all time! Fail in your athletic career, have 2 roommates in a small apartment, and make up a fantastical story of how you were actually the victim, and did what you had to do to survive with Joaquin "Fire" Balassa!!

| #316 - The Finger Of Doom - The Sanctifiedness of John Hopoate | 16 Aug 2022 | 02:43:49 | |
This week, we look at a guy who was so rough in Rugby, that he ended up having to become a boxer, in the middle of his career. He fought, threw cheap shots, and even used his fingers for purposes that certainly aren't legal, in any sport. He also consorted with alleged drug dealers, beat people outside of bars, and had quite an interesting trip to the local grocery store. But that's just the *finger*tip of the iceberg, as this man has done enough crazy things for several lives, including having 11 children! Have all your kids be rugby stars, switch from one violent professional sport to another, and be able to intimidate your opponents with only a single finger with John Hopoate!!

| #315 - Dogs & Dragonflies - The Blessedness of Aqib Talib | 09 Aug 2022 | 02:45:48 | |
This week, we look over the career & crazy times of a man who saw nothing but success in the NFL. An all pro, super bowl champion & apparent hang out buddy of Peyton Manning. Off the field, it's getting so drunk that you can't remember punching a cab driver, as he drove 75 mph on the interstate, or gun play in a strip club parking lot, or teaming with your mother to try to shoot your sister's boyfriend. Things like that. It's fighting with teammates, during your first 5 minutes in the NFL. He does all of this, and more, but in such an entertaining way that it's still hard not to like the guy! Grow up, hating your hometown of Cleveland, get to know your pals, Tom Brady & Peyton Manning, and pistol whip your problems away with Aqib Talib!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

| #314 - Pain Is My Best Friend - The Gumpness of Stephen "The Devil" French | 02 Aug 2022 | 02:54:15 | |
This week, we look at story that is deep in underground criminal lore. An English kickboxer, with international titles, but we barely have time for any sports, due to this episode being packed with crime. Wall to wall. His main occupation was robbing drug dealers for very large amounts of cash & product. Sometimes, needing to torture the unsuspecting dealer with a clothes iron. He claims to the main person to set off a famous riot, that lasted 9 days, and injured hundreds. He's just an all around bad dude. As a matter of fact, he calls himself "The Devil" This one is wilder than can be described here!! Spend your childhood getting beat up by your sister, become the most feared drug dealer robber in Europe, and torture someone with an iron with Stephen "The Devil" French!!

| #313 - Weaponized Cookies & Rollover Crashes - The Egocentricness of Jason Kidd | 26 Jul 2022 | 03:08:19 | |
This week, we look at hall of fame player, who was the best at what he did, from the second he stepped on to a basketball court. The world bent over backwards to show him love, and let him off the hook, at every turn. He had a very public marriage, even hosting a TV show, with his wife. But under the surface, there was allegations of a decade of abuse, with implements of violence ranging all the way from a baseball bat, to a large cookie. In addition, he is a TERRIBLE driver, especially when he's had "a few" drinks! It's the story of a guy, who people just don't seem to like, no matter how much he accomplishes, or how many apologies he makes! Leave your friends at the scene of an accident that you caused, blame your son for your wife's fat lip, and have everyone generally roll their eyes at you with Jason Kidd!!

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

| #312 - Pimp Punching Pervert - The Deviantness of Gerald Perry | 19 Jul 2022 | 02:51:00 | |
This week, we tell the story of a man who was so athletically talented, that he just couldn't decide between basketball & football. He chose football, and said it was a dream come true. But as soon as he was in the NFL, he was also in the back of a lot police cars. Whether trolling the streets, in the middle of the night, for a ladies, and possibly crack cocaine, or sexually attacking a teammate's wife, or the babysitter this guy just doesn't understand that actions just may have consequences! A very crazy story, in classic CIS rapid fire arrest fashion!! Choose to play football in your Junior year of college, get arrested almost as soon as you get your NFL uniform, and become a menace to society, and especially women with Gerald Perry!!

| #311 - Orgasm & Obsession - The Compellingness of Adonis "Superman" Stevenson | 12 Jul 2022 | 02:50:37 | |
This week, we tell the odd story of a man, who came to another country, as a small child, grew up in foster care, and ran the streets, putting himself in all kinds of dangerous situations. Luckily, he ended up a champion boxer, with an exciting, crowd pleasing style, and a growing fan base. So... What's the problem, right? Well, there was a whole lot about his past, that people weren't aware of. Like doing time in prison, for absolutely horrific, and downright disgusting crimes! Once it all comes out, no one looks at him the same, despite his winning ways. Finally, his career is ended by a series of punches that puts him in a coma, and makes his survival anything but assured! Keep your terrible criminal history under wraps, be the boxer that everyone wants to see, and be punched into a coma with Adonis "Superman" Stevenson!!

But why? Brain damage? Roid rage? He just snapped? We explore everything around this horrible tragedy, but are left with more questions than answers! Make it big, even though your whole industry doesn't want you, steal your boss' wife, then commit one of the most horrendous crimes, that could possibly occur with Chris "The Canadian Crippler" Benoit!!

| #309 - Nobody Gonna Break My Stride - The Uniqueness of Daniel Barrera | 28 Jun 2022 | 02:32:27 | |
This week, we tell a story that starts differently from most of our episodes. Instead of being a renowned athlete, from an early age, he was a decent high school athlete, then joined the military, as a firefighter, where he did tours in Iraq. He also began fighting. His skills were just right for the burgeoning business of MMA, and he landed a spot on UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter", where his strangeness first came to light. In the years to come, his behavior became more bizarre, with odd attacks, strange & violent attacks, and some of the weirdest antics, ever seen in a courtroom! Have war & fires not be quite dangerous enough for you, be the strangest guy on a reality show, and believe that you don't need medication, despite all the evidence to the contrary with Daniel Barrera!!

| #434 - Violence Aficionado - Ruben Semedo | 12 Nov 2024 | 01:36:41 | |
This week, we find out all there is to know about a Portuguese soccer player, who hardly has any time for sports, because he spends most of his time getting arrested, and hanging out in jail. He beat the odds, coming from tough neighborhood, but he seems to take some of the neighborhood with him as he threatens, beats, robs, kidnaps, tortures, and allegedly rapes his to way to what may be a short career!! Make soccer your way to rise out of your circumstances, react extremely disproportionately to even the smallest slight, and be banned from an entire country with Ruben Semedo!!

| #308 - Beanie Babies & Booze - The Smugness of Jim Leyritz | 21 Jun 2022 | 02:54:39 | |
This week, we explore the life of an unlikely World Series hero, who took all that good will, and flushed it directly down the toilet. A love of booze & amphetamines led to a tough transition to a life, after baseball. He never quite adjusted. A very public divorce & stalking arrest tarnished his image, but that pales in comparison to the time that he killed that lady, with his car, after hanging out with Playboy models! It's a real roller coaster of a story, from underdog, that you root for, to arrogant jerk, at whom you shake your head! Break your foot, right before the MLB draft, come from obscurity to become a World Series hero, and ruin all the admiration for you,. with several acts of stupidity with Jim Leyritz!!

| #307 - I Am Not Under Arrest - The Fieriness of "Mean" Gene Atkins | 14 Jun 2022 | 02:48:33 | |
This week, we check into a man, who worked his way onto an NFL roster, almost exclusively on the back of his ability to use his body, with reckless abandon, to take down, and preferably hurt, opposing players. Some cracks began to appear, while still playing. He attacked a reporter, and fought with coaches & teammates. But once he retired, the full impact that his physical style began to show, on his brain. A charge of twice firebombing a business associate & long time friend. He had an epic, and disturbing showdown with police, who wanted him top stop choking & hitting his wife, with a remote control. But they didn't much better luck, with the whole thing escalating from violence to a showdown! All of this, and the NFL thinks his brain is fine!! Make it to the top of your profession on pure grit & violence, deny firebombing your friend's family home, and try your best to remember the months of the year with "Mean" Gene Atkins!!

| #306 - Defying Logic, But Not Gravity - The Insensibleness of Zach Randolph | 07 Jun 2022 | 02:53:02 | |
This week, we look into the life of a man, was in trouble since middle school, and kept a steady pace of police interaction, through pretty much his whole life, so far. He came from bad circumstances, being called "crusty" as a kid, but used basketball to overcome that situation, making himself an extremely wealthy man, in the process. All of that, and he never left his friends behind. Which sounds nice, unless your friends continue to beat, shoot, attack, street race, and be accused of even worse. He never quite understands that each arrest made it a little harder to believe that he was trying to change! Get tired of your husky pants, with snaps for a button, work hard to make something of yourself, and make everyone think you're not only a moron, but a bad guy with Zach Randolph!!
