This week, we check out a guy, who was already signing autographs, while in the 6th grade. A prodigy, and phenom, on the level of Lebron James, but he could never quite live up to the hype. Instead, he screwed up. A lot. He seems to have particular liking of guns, specifically carrying them, in places that he shouldn't, such as planes, or New York City. He beefed with rappers, hung out with celebrities, and always ended up in trouble. He even took part in a huge financial scheme with 18 other NBA players! He's got it all!!
Be the best basketball prospect, in the country, when you're 11, be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, while you're still in high school, and wind up in prison, by the time you're 35 with Sebastian Telfair!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

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!!

#329 - Drugs, Death Penalties & Shipping Fees - The Innovativeness of Reginald Spiers
Crime in Sports
11/15/22 • 155 min
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!!

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!!

This week, we check out a guy who always had all the potential, but the only potential that he fulfilled was his prolific arrest record. A sought after, two sports star, he was the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but it all went away. Next thing you knew, he was in an off brand football league, and choking women, while punching them. His problems seem to be with alcohol, drugs, and even fear of success. Either way, he made a real mess of it all, and the only question is, will he EVER get it together??
Have to choose between pro baseball, and pro football, become the starting quarterback for an iconic franchise, then get arrested, at an alarming rate with Quincy Carter!!

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!!

This week, we scope out the swinging 70s, through a key member of the "Doomsday Defense" of the Dallas Cowboys. Living the high life of fame, and fortune, all while business ventures fall apart, and he does enough cocaine to cover a South American mountain top. Even though he denies it for years, he eventually tells his secrets, after his life truly spins out of control!!
Have your sister beat up your bullies, find your inner "Waterboy" & unleash your rage, do enough cocaine with "Hollywood" Henderson to kill a herd of elephants with "Beautiful" Harvey Martin!!

This week, we check out a man who turned his back on basketball, and made it all the way to Major League Baseball. He seemed to have a charmed existence, until he suddenly stopped being able to hit a baseball, and seemingly couldn't get behind the wheel of a car without ending up in handcuffs. He also got one of the craziest deferred contracts of all time!! Plus, an Adam "Pacman" Jones arrest update!!
Choose your passion over a college scholarship, seem to be on the road to being an all time great, then deny your problems, while continuously having problems with Bernard Gilkey!!

#369 - Everybody's Rival - Bill Romanowski
Crime in Sports
08/22/23 • 164 min
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!!

This week, we tell one of the most incredible stories, in history. Not just sports. He grew up with 18 brothers & sisters, in a good family, but he took to the streets, being convicted of murder, before any thought of a sports career took place. His rise from teenaged murderer, to fighting Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title is remarkable. But not as remarkable as the fact that he wasn't done getting arrested. Fights with his wives, resulting in gunplay, and falls from second story windows, and even another murder charge! It' shard to believe, but it's all real!
Be convicted of murder, before your 21st birthday, somehow rise to the top of your sport, then try your hardest to end up right back in prison with Ron Lyle!!
