Crime In Sports

This week, we cover a man who seemingly no one likes. He's the type of guy who you only like, if he plays for your team, but not necessarily if you play on his team. He attacked teammates, ended careers, took cheap shots, all while playing at a high level, and earning 4 rings, and causing a state & federal drug probe. Turns out, he may have had some chemical help with his accomplishments, but that might also help explain his wild behavior!Play the game at 1000%, take some things to help you play the game at 1000%, and have no respect for anyone else on the field with Bill Romanowski!!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.c

This week, we continue this story of insanity with more cocaine, more arrests, and a few surprise twists that no one could see coming. He continued to fight, long after it was probably healthy to do so. He also had suicide attempts, other brushes with death, rehabs, relapses, and plenty of drama. Including his wife marrying his brother, and Johnny finally finding his long thought dead father... Or, did he???Keep fighting, long after it's healthy to do so, ignore everything you've learned in rehab, and be completely fooled by a fabricated DNA test with Johnny Tapia - Part 2!!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/crimeinspor

This week, we dip back into the brain damage sports to bring the tale of a man, who had a life straight out of a movie that would be considered unrealistic, because of the pure craziness involved. We have a murder, while he's still in the womb, more death & murder, before the age of 8. He also joined a gang, had a major concussion, and fought drunken adults for money, at the behest of his grandfather. All before the age of 12. Then he starts boxing, and gets VERY into cocaine! Pure crazy!Watch a pregnant woman be launched from a bus window when you're 7, fight adult men at age 10, so your grandfather can win a few bets, and love cocaine more than ship captains love ships with Johnny Tapia!!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.c

This week, we look at a a man who played a sport that we didn't know existed. He ended up being the guy to take the sport of snooker from a stuffy, not televised bore, into a televised, slightly less boring event! He was a colorful, charismatic player who was the Happy Gilmore of snooker. He also smoked 4 packs a day, punched refs, threw plates at spectators, beat his girlfriend with a hairdryer, and committed "the slowest suicide in sports history"!!Start hanging out in dive bars at age 10, bring some life to a stuffy sport, and destroy your relationships, career, future, financial well being & health with Alex "The Hurricane" Higgins!!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

This week, we catch up with a guy who most people last saw, in a video, being beaten in the street, rather than being in the NBA Finals, next to Lebron James, and possibly Lebron's mom, as well! There is no way not to feel for a guy who clearly has some mental issues to deal with, but he has to help himself before it's too late. In the meantime, he continues to get arrested, and say absolutely outlandish things, like yelling at police officers that he "is the real President"!Be a most unlikely NBA star, maybe have sex with Lebron's mother, and carry your shotgun in a guitar case with Delonte West!!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 check out the life of a man who had a horrible start to his life. He ended up, understandably, full of anger at the world, that he channeled into overcoming gigantic odds, and fighting his way into a big time college football program. This leads to NFL success, and a seemingly great life, but he always had something, just under the surface, that wouldn't let him reach his full potential. This all results in a crazy, and sad ending!!Have one of the worst childhoods possible, be just like Rudy, but with world class speed, and somehow rub everybody you ever work with, the wrong way with Terry Glenn!!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!!  Con

This week, we look at a legendary baseball player, who had skill, style, a really nasty fastball, and an appetite for cocaine, and driving drunk. He was plagued by playing for one of the cheapest owners in history, even qualifying for public housing, while having an MVP & Cy Young Award winning season, while this owner tried to get him to change his name to something more marketable. Life looked bright, but he couldn't get out of his own way. Did he ever turn it around? A crazy tale of 1970s living, even when it's the not the 1970s!!Get paid in Cadillacs, be in the middle of a federal drug investigation, and have a very strange middle name with Vida Blue!!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 look at someone who was thought to be the toughest man alive, by just about everyone who ever met him. A college football player/wrestler, who made his mark in pro wrestling, all over the world. He was as beloved as he was feared. We'll hear all about too many bar/street fights to count, not mention how a person gets caught at customs, with a lot of drugs... THREE times! Be an amazing athlete at every sport you try, insist that copious amounts of drugs can be taken to other continents, and be beloved by everyone in your industry with "Dr. Death" Steve Williams!!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/crimeinspo

This week, we tell the rest of the tale of a man who achieved great success, at the same time as he seemingly began to lose his mind, with strange interactions, violent encounters, and horrible accusations. One woman allegedly jumped off a yacht to escape his wrath, while we also found out that no NBA mascot is safe with this guy around. He's wealthy, arrogant, and possibly completely insane!!Start your own whiskey, invite an Italian DJ to a party, then punch him in the face, then be accused of awful things by multiple women, in multiple countries with Conor McGregor!!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&nbs

This week, we check out the happenings of a guy who gained worldwide fame, seemingly overnight. He quickly became the UFC's biggest draw, with both his aggressive fighting style, and brash persona. But did he start believing his own press? He fought a silly spectacle against Floyd Mayweather, then it all starts to go downhill. This week, we take you through his start, fame, and the beginning of the coming disaster!!Come from blue collar beginnings, rise to worldwide fame, and have Dana White try to shake the change from your pockets, at every opportunity with Conor McGregor!!

This week, we look at a man who had very large aspirations, but didn't quite have the talent to make them a reality. He was raised to be strong, and politically active, but he may have taken the "strength" part a little too seriously. He's had numerous accusations of violence, usually against women, who are usually pregnant. Finally, he is "allegedly" tangled in the murder plot of a woman, who was pregnant with his baby, that hangs over his head, to this very day! Have your father want you to be aborted, grow tall enough that he takes an interest in you, then go through decades with murder accusations directly following any mention of your name with Jerrod Mustaf!!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 shutupandgivemem

This week, we look at a guy who is responsible for some of the weirdest 911 calls that have been made, and a man who will probably snap on you, if he hears even a single note of a Nelly song. He showed all the football talent that you can have, and promptly made himself a pariah in the NFL. He moved on to MMA, where he shows considerably less talent. And eventually, to Walmart, where he claims he's just learning how to be a tycoon! Become an NFL star, after a huge season, immediately make everyone hate you by being accused of some heinous things, then continue to produce a string of embarrassing life decisions with Greg Hardy!!

This week, we seem to climb inside an episode of "The Wire" to check out a West Baltimore boxer, who came from a terrible start, but found the neighborhood boxing gym, eventually freeing him from the cycle of poverty & drugs. Sounds like a nice story, right? Not so fast. He's also been accused of beating women, fighting in the streets, driving poorly, and leaving an injured pregnant woman inside of a car that he just crashed into!! Beat the odds by getting out of your terrible neighborhood, have no one be able to beat you in the boxing ring, and never stop for the injured... even if you just smashed your borrowed Lamborghini into them with Gervonta "Tank" Davis!!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 shutupandgivem

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
