Crime In Sports

This week, we can only hope that brain damage contributed to the this man's crime, because if it didn't, he's just one of the most reprehensible human beings that we can think of. He wasn't exactly a wrestling superstar, spending most of his career as a "jobber", who lost on a nightly basis to make others look good. Outside the ring, he was violent, mean, and was called "the description of a stalker & abuser", and that wasn't even his REALLY bad crime. He's not a good guy, but he sure is a good time to make fun of!  Catch Vince McMahon's eye, only to completely blow it, hold fights, in parking lots, with no insurance, and be an absolute monster of a human being with Steve "Gatorwolf" Ketcher!! 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

This week, we head back to the cocaine hazed 1980s, to talk about a guy who could have been the next Sandy Koufax, but his extra curricular activities ruined it all. He was a quiet kid, with major league dreams, but the loneliness of being on the road led him down a path of booze, cocaine, and invisible snakes. He had a few chances, but just couldn't get it together, in his career, or personal life. Things all come to a head on one crazy evening, just before Halloween, when his own demons & goblins finally got the best of him! Have one of the best curveballs that has ever existed, try your hardest to get a good coke habit going, and fight off the snakes with Rod Scurry!! 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 do things a little bit differently, and discuss a man who actually did most things right. He wasn't arrested, every 5 minutes, or considered an awful person. This episode is about what happened to this athlete. Marriage trouble & money problems are there, but is that what caused his demise? The last he is heard from is on a 911 call, full of audible gunshots. It's a true whodunnit, until an unlikely source breaks the whole thing wide open, and reveals a disturbing & brutal plot!! Be a hometown hero, let your father guide all that you do, and end up brutally murdered with Lorenzen Wright!! 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.co

This week, we found a gem of a story, about a guy who seemed to be on his way to a long life, as a respected NFL player & cultural icon. But it all went terribly wrong. Divorce, business failure, and possible brain damage sends him down a road of constant arrest. He was called "the consulate con man", as he terrorized NFL players by impersonating them, and stealing from their bank accounts. This in in addition to tirelessly trying to find his wife's murderer, and trying to out run the microchips that he believes have been implanted in his head, during a secret surgery in the New Mexico dessert! Guard RFK during his presidential run, marry Miss Philadelphia, and spend your life scamming money to put toward the investigation of a murder with Israel "Izzy" Lang!! Check us out, every Tuesday! !We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!  Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman  Donate at... patreon.com/crimeinsports or with paypal.com using our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com 

This week, we finish off the saga of Mike Tyson, with an action packed episode, covering his "Baddest Man On The Planet" years. The whole thing is full of rage, and terrible impulse control! He grabs women, he kicks men, he punches everyone. But you're lucky to just be punched, because some weren't so lucky, with Evander Holyfield coming away with a little less of his ear, in the process. Lawsuits, accidents, arrests, cocaine... Let's just say that Mike didn't slow down, too much, and we follow him, every step of the way! Punch a woman in the chest & kick a man in the groin, "throw" your Ferrari through a store window, and spit your opponents chewed up body part on to the canvas with "Iron" Mike Tyson!! 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.threadle

This week, we get into the middle years of Mike Tyson's career, when it all starts to fall apart. He suffers his first loss, while fending off a slew of lawsuits, paternity cases, and criminal charges. This all culminates in a trial for the rape of an 18 year old Miss Black America contestant, and his subsequent prison stay, which includes visits from Shaq, Hammer, Whitney Houston, and several other early 90s luminaries. Once out on parole, he tried to restart his career, but is there anything left in the gas tank?? Fondle everyone you're in contact with, drag race your Lambo in a 30 mph downtown area, and admit paternity with a child that turns out to not be yours with "Iron" Mike Tyson!! 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 shut

This week, we talk about the early years, rise to prominence, and beginning of the downfall of a man who was known all throughout the world for his incredible boxing ability, and tabloid life, outside of the ring.

This week, we look at the story of a man, who did everything he could do to drink, and party his way out of the sport of hockey, but his talent kept him always employed. He had so much going on, that it's hard to describe his crazy life, but let's just say that his career finally ended when he carried a bloody, beaten, unconscious & nude woman into a hospital, with quite an unbelievable story to go with it! An old timey story, that will leave you wanted to leave "the good old days" right where they are!

This week, we speed into disaster, with a man who lived a wild, and crazy life. Racing cars, and punching anyone within reach. He never quite achieved the accolades he wished for, on the track, so he devoted his life to his passions, teaching his son to race, and getting arrested. Fractured skulls, bruised girlfriends, threatened ex-wives, and an absolutely enormous fire ball later... At least his son is successful. This is a crazy story, of just too much speed! Smash the back of a car that has passed you, leave your son at a gas station because you're unsatisfied with his race performance, and beat up your dad with Jos "The Boss" Verstappen!! 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 look at a man who was on television, just about every week, for about a decade, which went right to his head.  The problem is, it was gone, all at once. This caused him to spiral into an absolutely insane life, filled with drugs, arrests, more drugs, epic car crashes, and his very own profile, on a top Gigilo website, where he can be rented various increments of time, and very high prices. Oh, and more drugs, arrests, and even more car crashes! A wild one, from start to finish! Be unsatisfied with the bulk of your calves, have an ego that is bigger than your biceps, and take a bunch of pills & drive your car into the nearest train station bathroom with Marcus "Buff" Bagwell!! 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

This week, we check out a man who has had about the craziest life you can think of. Coming from nothing, all the way to a long & lucrative NFL career, but with some insane stumbles. The list is a long one, including cocaine, alleged game fixing, fights at bars, knife fights with his pregnant wife, hollow point bullets, stab wounds, shotguns, trees that refuse to get out the way of his Mercedes, and white collar crime... with his mom.  And that's not even all of it.

This week, we take a look at a man who was so close to being what he wanted to be, but couldn't quite get there. In & out of the NBA, until no one would sign him anymore. He then embarked on a second career, consisting of being in the wrong place, at the the exact wrong time. He was forced to testify in the Rae Carruth murder trial, he pretended to be Jayson Williams, and just about every self destructive thing he could seemingly think of! Deny shaving points to benefit gamblers, never have a driver's license, and always date the same stripper as a murderer with Charles Shackleford!! 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 crimein

This week, we explore a man with an infamous past, who makes quite the terrible name for himself. A short MMA career gives way to a long crime career. His mix of mental illness, drug addiction, and brain damage all add up to make him a danger to all around him. He beat people with a hammer, and worse. His final crime is indescribably heartless, and one of the worst things we've ever had to talk about on CIS! Be the son of "The Royal Reaper", have a short, mediocre MMA career, then unleash violence upon the world, and attack people with a butcher knife with Andrew Wadsworth!! 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 explore the life of a woman, who had a whole persona, built on lies. She won the Boston Marathon... but did she really? Is she a sick person, who can't help but lie, or a persecuted person, who never had her true accomplishments recognized? Either way, a life of crime is the result, including some fraud, and participation in an "all woman cocaine ring". After disappearing from the public eye, does she ever resurface?Come out of nowhere to win a marathon, be a part of an "all woman cocaine ring", and lie about just about everything with Rosie Ruiz!! 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.com facebook.

This week, we explore the tale of someone who had greatness written all over him. He was a number one overall baseball draft pick, but it all fell apart from there. Arrogance, ignorance, and a complete lack of empathy for others leads him down a terrible path, that leaves people hurt, and an elderly man, nearly dead. He was given chance, after chance, but will he ever get it together, and actually make the major league, or will he end up back in prison, instead?? It's Matt Bush!! Be tapped for greatness form a young age, blow every chance that you're given, and try to make it back to baseball after 4 years in prison with Matt Bush!! 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!!  Cont

This week, we check out one of the strangest stories that we've ever done. It is impossible to describe exactly how unexpected of a turn that it takes. A man who is a 2 time Olympic boxer, and also a pro boxer, with a very respectable record. He was also known as one if the dirtiest fighters to ever lace up the gloves, and this was brought to the forefront when an opponent ended up dead. But that's not the only person who ended up dead, around him! !Save your brother from a magic carpet accident, kill a man while engaged in legitimate sport, and be accused of about the most horrific crime imaginable with Kabary "The Egyptian Magician" Salem!! 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 & S

This week, we try to catch up with a man who built his whole life on speed. Fast cars. Fast money. And repeatedly getting caught for what he did. He financed a racing team on drug profits, after failing in the flower industry. Like most professional athletes, right?

This week, we try to scratch beneath the surface of a man who has had untold success. Not in sports, but in the entertainment industry, after a brief stint in the NFL. Founder of Death Row Records, and perpetrator of more crimes than we can even talk about. And those are just the things he's actually been convicted on, not to mention, drugs, guns, Tupac, Biggie...

This week, we check out an under the radar story, of a not so successful athlete, who turned out to be a terrible person. He achieved great success in college, but pro success eluded him. No problem, he decided to coach, but that's all thrown of the rails by him, committing a most awful crime, getting a break from the law, then making it even worse. All of this, with a hugely shocking ending...

This week, we look at a man who could have been one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Number 1 overall draft pick & every accolade that exists. He was even Michael Jordan's idol. So, how did this sure thing turn so wrong? Cocaine. Cocaine. Oh, and cocaine. His career was even ended at Studio 54, of all places. A tragic story, that everyone should know about.
