Crime In Sports

This week, we check out a man who may be the definition of "shooting star", as he rose from obscurity to reach his NFL dreams. Once he got there, things didn't go so well, as he fell in with the wrong crowd, seemingly never able to get out of his own way, but always in the path of the police. He was falsely accused of a horrible crime, by a teenaged prostitute, turned insane murderer, and that is considered heart warming compared to the rest of this tale. It's Chris Henry!! Be an embarrassment to yourself & your team, get arrested so often that it almost seems on purpose, and NEVER jump into the back of a moving truck with Chris Henry!! 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!! Co

This week, we fire up the engines to bring you one of the wildest, craziest people in the history of the show. He was a dare devil & race car driver from the days before they even wore helmets. He was an Indianapolis 500 winner, cementing his place his racing history. This all seemed to go to his head, as after that he seemed to think it was okay attack police officers (multiple times), shoot at service men, home from WWII, attack women (multiple times), sometimes with a knife, among other insanities! This is the craziest story that you've never heard! It's Kelly Petillo!! Win racing's biggest prize, punch every cop who tries to arrest you, and attack seemingly every woman you meet with Kelly Petillo!! 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 skate directly into the eye of a storm of bad circumstances, luck, and behavior, with a man who was at the top of his game, winning championships, and making big money. This all changed with both a head injury, and a newly found love of cocaine. This culminates in a sleazy hotel, gangster, prostitute, bribed cab driver, crack rock kind of evening that leaves his problems exposed to the public. It only gets worse from there, with the FBI getting interested in his dealings. It's a mess!! Skate from the time you can walk, deny ever using crack, even when found with crack, and always lie to the federal government after you promised to be an informant with Kevin 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/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Get all the CIS & STM merch at crimeinsports.threadless.com Go to shutupandgivememur

This week, we look into a man who came along at just the right time to get rewarded greatly for his considerable talents. Unfortunately, that may have made him think that he was entitled to do whatever he wanted to do. This includes fighting with female gas station attendants, driving a Bentley while drunk, and barging into his ex's house at 3am with a frightening request. It's a story of someone who never wanted to follow his father's footsteps, but does he? This a crazy story, complete with some insane revelations about how the Jackson family chose their band members! Be one of the best basketball players in the country, don't take any flack from plastic houseplants, and never, ever follow a night club's dress code with Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson!!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 explore what it's like to be prodigy, become a champion, and blow it all due to stupidity, and lack of temperament. This guy is no stranger to unsanctioned bar brawls, as well as championship UFC fights. No one seems safe when he's on the warpath, bouncers, friends, children, his girlfriend, uniformed police, it simply doesn't matter to the man who seems to have gotten more chances than anyone in UFC history. He's a mess, and only getting worse. It's BJ Penn!! Have a fight club down at the beach, never back down from a fight, and don't take a police uniform too seriously with BJ Penn!! 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/crimeinsportscr

This week, we see what it's like to get everything that you could ever want, by age 20. The spoiler is that apparently results in heavy drinking, bad driving, non-payment of debts, domestic violence, and more cocaine than you could shake a stick at! He lived as high of a life as was possible, and ruined one of the most promising baseball careers in the history of the sport. Just when you think he's good, now... He's most certainly not. Get blackout drunk to break your slumps, always grab a beer for the car, and never, ever stop using cocaine With Dwight "Doc" Gooden!! 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/crimeinsportscrimeinsports@gmail.comfacebook.co

This week, we ease up to a buffet of bad decisions, bad instincts, and just plain stupid. He worked his way into the NFL, becoming a Super Bowl champion, on a dynasty of a team. With all that glory comes excesses of every kind. From food, to drugs, to women, and he sampled it all. His crimes are just as dumb as some of them are awful, and his tendency to give a hilarious, if not insane quote serves the story well. This one has all the crazy one could want in an episode!! Dream of french fry mastery, go under the radar with your dog fighting past, and call all women "whores" with Nate Newton!! 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/crimeinsportscrimeinsp

This week, we wander down a path of crazy, with more idiocy jumping out from behind every door. He came from a terrible situation, and tried to make Pittsburgh proud, by becoming a champion. Problem is, he also became a drunk, a crack head, and someone who would shoot his girlfriend, and put a 63 year old woman in a head lock, for no reason. Not to mention his penchant for intra family rumbles with just about anyone he's related to... and that's just the start of his storied record. He never learned. He still hasn't. It's Paul Spadafora!! Start drinking at age 6, stab your brother with a 10 inch knife, then threaten several members of the Pittsburgh Police Department with Paul Spadafora!! 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 shutupandg

This week, we look at some good ol' Texas style tragedy! He was royalty in the world of wrestling, along with his father & brothers. They were worshipped by the locals, and idolized by fans, all over the world... For a while. Drugs, arrests, tragedy, a nasty motorcycle accident, and the loss of his brothers were just more than he could handle, as he slipped further down a path of destruction! This one is deep with crazy! Fight off adoring women as you walk to the ring, wrap a large bag of painkillers around your genitals, and always pass in the left lane with Kerry Von Erich!! 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/crimeinsportscrimeinsports@gmail.c

This week, we check out one of the all time legends of basketball, and stupidity! From the humblest of starts, he was literally a late bloomer, who figured out that basketball could take him places. He has done everything from championships, to arrests, to dating Madonna. His exploits are enough for about 3 episode, but we manage to squeeze it into one wild & wooly tale!! Buckle up, this guy is an all timer!! Steal watches from the Dallas airport gift shop, slap Carmen Electra, and be the first major male athlete to wear a wedding dress in public with Dennis Rodman!! 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/crimeinsportscrimeinsports@gmail.comfacebook

This week, we peek into the air to see a man soaring over head... then crashing hard, down to earth. He was a beach kid, turned one of the most exciting skateboarders on earth, mixing technical precision with daring heights, and cool style, all his own. But the party scene got to him. He tried it all, but settled on meth, and continued to destroy his career & life, until a warrant for his arrest makes him miss the opportunity to make millions, and be more famous than Tony Hawk! Plus, a major airport meth bust... He's got it all!! Be more daring than the next guy, make Tony Hawk jealous of your moves, and throw it all away with pounds of meth with Christian Hosoi!! 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 a

This week, we look at man who came from nothing, and achieved his dream of being a major leaguer. Not only that, he was an all star, and World Series Champion... But that all unraveled, and it ended up with some nasty charges involving a machete, some gasoline, a little paint thinner & a lighter. These charges would land him in Venezuelan prison with his good name ruined. He also indiscriminately fires hand guns from car windows & is not above a bar brawl. Did we mention that his mother was kidnapped & sold to a Columbian revolutionary gang & held for millions in ransom? Or that the rescue attempt was straight from an 80's action movie, complete with M-16s & exploding fuel tanks?? It's insane!! Pitch your way to the States, hope your mother is rescued from kidnappers, and show zero mercy to anyone who works for you with Ugueth Urbina!!! Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman Donate a

This week, we take a peek at the life of a man who started out, behind the iron curtain, growing up in the streets. From there, he learned how to fight in the ring, and became one of MMA's most feared punchers. Problem is, he likes to punch things, out of the ring, as well. Like fellow airline passengers, or random bar patrons. He is also proficient in sexual assault, having feuds with his own family members, and saying some really dumb things. He is a roller coaster, from start to finish!! Learn to fight by age 7, do things that make Putin think you're a "good guy", and deny everything, even if it's recorded with Alexander "The Grim Reaper" Emelianenko!! 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

This week, we take a long look at a man who, despite immense talent, was always a bigger force of nature, off the field, than on it. He showed flashes of brilliance, only to have his progress be taken back 2 steps, by yet another arrest. Fighting? Absolutely. Drunken strip club attacks? You know it. Cheating at a casino? Threatening the lives of police? Punching a woman? Indeed. And then some. He's truly one of the most requested episodes that we've had, and it's still better than anyone could have hoped for! Answer a racial slur with a pool cue to the face, attack a dancer when she tries to pick up the money that you threw down for her, and always make sure to have the best arugula possible with Adam "Pacman" Jones!! 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.t

This week, we check out a legendary boxer. One of the greatest of all time. One of the most prolific punch throwers... and crack smokers in history! He fought his way out of a childhood, where sleeping outside was preferable to being home, to become a true legend. Then he discovered crack, glorious crack. This led to fights with everyone, including his mother, crazy crack house confrontations, getting shot by his "wife", lies, restarts, rehabs, jail, more arrests, panhandling, a ton more crack, and eventually Jesus. It really needs to be heard to be believed! Find yourself, in the glow of a crack pipe, be one of the greatest fighters who ever lived, and pray to the lord... for more crack with Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor!! Get your tickets to Crime In Sports LIVE in Phoenix, on October 19... https://phxevents.cblive.com/shows/106416 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

This week, we look at a man who keeps dousing his own dreams... and not with water. He played for big time teams since he was a child, but never quite learned how to stay out of trouble. Alcohol is the main source of his issues, and he sure knows how to put on a show! Whether it's running from the police, getting banned from being in an entire city, or having some very unfortunate pictures make the social media rounds, this man never disappoints!! Refuse to quit drinking to excess, deny anything not caught in picture form, and be the grossest guy at the urinal with Todd Carney!! Get your tickets to Crime In Sports LIVE in Phoenix, on October 19... https://phxevents.cblive.com/shows/106416 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 shutupandg

This week, we gaze upon a buffet of disaster, as we check out a man who had all the potential in the world, but couldn't stop screwing up long enough to fulfill it. There were dark accusations of a horrible act, family troubles that led his father to murder his uncle, and a few gun problems for himself. Not to mention the fact that the scale was his worst enemy, pushing nearly 400 pounds at some points in his career! This one is biiiig fun!! Weigh in, every day, blow all chances given to you, and always bring your gun to the family barbecue with Oliver Miller!! Get your tickets to Crime In Sports LIVE in Phoenix, on October 19... https://phxevents.cblive.com/shows/106416 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 fo

This week, we head down a well traveled road with a man who was respected among his peers, as well as feared. He achieved his dream of big time wrestling, but the life of the road, the booze, the ladies, and eventually the injuries got to him, causing a very quick slide into drugs, knives, thievery, and just plain embarrassment. It's a crazy tale, full of insane stories, gunplay, knife wielding, fights, and some of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered!! Beat Dusty Rhodes for a title, wear a confederate flag to the ring & expect to be cheered, and never recall a second of your worst deeds with "Dirty" Dick Slater!! 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... t

This week, we dip back into the crazy waters of a man that we covered in our first year of the show. Problem is, he's lived more than an episode of his insane existence since that time, so we've had to circle back, and pick up the pieces. What more has he done? Wrote a crazy book, been arrested a LOT, accused Charlie Sheen of murder, and ruined an otherwise quaint New Jersey neighborhood, to name just a few. He's a menace, and we are all the beneficiaries, because we get to explore this wild tale!! Be a World Series hero, become a financial genius, then claim bankruptcy & scam everyone you can, and expose yourself to potential employees with Lenny Dykstra!! 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 thin

This week, we delve into the history of a man who came from humble beginnings to become an icon, that almost transcended race, while compiling a Hall of Fame football career, starring in countless tv shows & movies, and appearing in commercials for every product imaginable. Under the smiling facade, was a very flawed person, who also enjoyed cocaine, many, many women, and rocky circumstances with his long term relationships. His world crumbles amid early domestic violence, strong arm violence, robbery, and a long prison term. I think that's everything... Oh! And he also had that whole incident where two innocent people were brutally murdered, and he was found not guilty. We will spend very little time on that, because he was even more of a bad person than you probably thought, giving us plenty of other things to talk about! Be a national icon, become a bridge between the races... and be Nordberg with O.J. Simpson!!! Check us out, every Tuesday! We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports hi
