Crime In Sports

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

This week, we take a look at a man who came on to the boxing scene, literally out of nowhere. He seemingly had no past, but he certainly had a future in fighting. He made it all the way to the national stage before questions arose. Questions like "who is this guy?" cause his secret to be exposed, and his world to crumble. Just when you maybe start to feel bad for him, you find out something even more sinister!! Start boxing at an older age than usual, have all your secrets exposed, then disappoint your past supporters by committing the worst crime possible with Roberto Medina!! 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.comf

This week, we once again look at the question of just how young is too young to force your child to be a bread winning, family supporting professional athlete. I think we can now safely say that 13 might be the answer. She burst on to the international tennis scene as a 7th grader, and quickly took the world by storm. She also began to hate her forced profession, and all that surrounded it, leading to years of problems & resentment. After a major career comeback, an injury forces her into a weird, dark place called "retirement", and a whole new round of problems!! Come out of the womb holding a tennis racquet, be a world famous hero by age 13, then go mainly downhill from there with Jennifer Capriati!! 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 crawl into the life of a man who had plenty of promise. He was a state wrestling champion, and even earned a college scholarship. But it all fell apart. He tried his hand in some MMA competition, but ultimately washed out of the sport, much like college, and the Marines. What's left for a guy like that? Enforcer for a drug kingpin, of course. But when he thinks he's not being compensated like he should for his work, a plan is hatched... This plan results in some of the most graphic violence possible. This is wild one!! Be deemed too lazy for college, be deemed too crazy for the Marines, and settle your scores with a horrifically violent assault that leaves multiple people dead with David Tyner!! 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 look at a man who was revered in his home country, and was one of his sport's more popular players. He played for decades, before retiring to a quiet life as a paprika farmer, in the countryside. This all sounds wonderful, except for the fact that he also crushes the back roads, looking for women to pay for all sorts of non sports related activities! The trial, the appeals.. it's a mess! Does he end up getting away with his reprehensible crime?? Find out! Also, we have no luck with the nuances of cricket, so we must make up a game of our own, based loosely on our idea of what cricket may be! Make your home province proud with your sporting exploits, make your whole province shameful with your non-sporting exploits, and figure out what paprika is with Lorrie Wilmot!! 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: crimeinspor

This week, we concentrate on the question "what could have been?" with one of the biggest wastes of talent that professional sports has ever produced. He had the potential to be in the Hall of Fame, but he had other priorities. Mainly, using copious amounts of cocaine, and ruining every chance that he was repeatedly given. He disappointed everyone, including himself, but finally seemed to find a better way in life... until he decided to screw that up, and commit some federal crime. He's a mess!! Make Michael Jordan mad with your amazing NBA Finals performance, tomahawk dunk over two, 7-foot tall Polish men, and commit an extremely embarrassing crime on camera with Richard Dumas!! 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 shutupandgivememurd

This week, we answer the question of whether you can breed, and build the perfect athlete. The answer is a resounding "no". Trained from birth to be the perfect football player, he followed this path of success, until he was overwhelmed by it all. What follows is a sad tale of drugs, arrests, more drugs, and being found naked in a place he doesn't belong, even if he had clothes on. It's a crazy adventure, the entire way. What a weird one!! Suck on a kidney in your crib, be trained by experts in every field, and still end up as a skateboarding heroin addict with Todd Marinovich!! 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.com

This week, we journey down a path that has surprises at every turn. As a young man, sports was all he was consumed by, never even understanding why people would ever want to do drugs. A major league baseball career later, cocaine was all he was consumed by. He lived on the streets, panhandled, ignored his family, and most of all, smoked a whole lot of crack. Prison, deaths, embarrassment, nothing seemed to stop his desire to destroy his life. Good thing for us, it's as hilarious as it is sad!! Fight your way from nowhere to the World Series, smoke more crack than you thought to be humanly possible, and panhandle by lying to people & telling them that your daughter died with Sammy "The Throwin' Swannanoan" Stewart!! 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.

This week, we take a look at a guy who got in trouble from a young age, and hasn't slowed down since. He was seemingly sheltered from consequences due to his soccer ability. To the point where teams sign him, the same week he's been arrested! And what has he been arrested for? Well... Armed robbery, assault, mischief, money laundering, drunk driving, sexual assault... That's some of them. There is simply too much to list. Let's just say that this one is way more crime than sports!! Be scouted by pro teams before you enter middle school, blow every chance, more than once, and fill out your arrest Bingo card with Nile Ranger!! 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 encounter a legend. Both in his own mind, and in the annuls of various police departments. He was a gang leader, who turned his aggression into a boxing career, only to be sidetracked by stupidity, Mike Tyson, and PCP. His list of indiscretions range from a 4am street fight with Mike Tyson, to drugs, terrible driving, assault, and a crime that we've never had on the show, or even heard of before. This is a wild ride, from start to finish!! Fight your way out of the projects, obsess over one person for 20 years, and always take your shirt off with Mitch "Blood" Green!! 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.

This week, we travel down a rocky road of crazy adventures, and a spiral that leads to gas station drug busts, being removed from planes by Federal Marshalls & public meltdowns. He was a star during the boom period of wrestling, in the 1980's, and lived a fast paced, wild life. In the end, his downfall happened gradually, as the money dried up, but the addictions grew stronger, causing some embarrassing scenes for all concerned. It's a fun, but sad tale, but we promise one thing, it's never boring! Be too insane for even the Raiders, try to extort your college coach, and smoke crack all night with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart!! 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..

This week, we explore the world of a guy, who just wanted to be a fighter. He would do anything to get to that dream, including hiding a past that includes some of the most reprehensible crimes you can commit. He hid in plain sight, until his whole facade came crashing down... one of his fights. With his past revealed, do you think he straightened up, flew right, and redoubled his efforts? Or, do you think he acted even worse, and went to prison, as a result? Find out!
