    #435 - Criminal, Or Crazy Person? - Everson Griffen
    Nov 19 2024

    This week, we check out a Pro Bowl NFL player, who had so many physical tools, that he was nicknamed "The Freak", but things tended to fall apart in the brain area. He was always a bit wild, but they truly spiral out of control, by the time he's shirtless, and hiding in the bushes, after trying to break into a teammate's house because "God told him to"! Mental illness? Drugs? Too many blows to the head? All of the above???


    Be life of a Nantucket blow out party that old people hate, try to break into a teammate's house because "God told you to", and drive like you're legally blind with Everson Griffen!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!


    We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

    This week, we find out all there is to know about a Portuguese soccer player, who hardly has any time for sports, because he spends most of his time getting arrested, and hanging out in jail. He beat the odds, coming from tough neighborhood, but he seems to take some of the neighborhood with him as he threatens, beats, robs, kidnaps, tortures, and allegedly rapes his to way to what may be a short career!!


    Make soccer your way to rise out of your circumstances, react extremely disproportionately to even the smallest slight, and be banned from an entire country with Ruben Semedo!!

    #433 - Boobs Out, Guns Down - Keith Appling
    Nov 5 2024

    This week, we look into a man who barely played in the NBA, but spent plenty of time upping his crime stats. From a very nasty allegation, from the first day of college, to a slew of charges, that become more fast & frequent. For one thing, he can't seem to go anywhere without a loaded weapon. He also feels that heroin is the way to go, for his post sports career & he tops the whole thing off with a cold blooded murder!!


    Be the best at your sport, in your entire state, dodge a rape allegation, that seems extremely true, and murder your uncle on the fron t lawn with Keith Appling!!

Back from the Brink

This podcast deserves all the love it can get. Take a journey as James and Jimmie follow the rise and fall of criminal athletes. Consider The Atomic Bull who was heavyweight champion of the world. He got robbed of a million dollar check from Don King while wandering the streets of St. Louis at 3 am looking for crack. (He was hiding the check in his sock for safe keeping). Later he will attack a Christmas tree in a hotel lobby and break down crying in the middle of a boxing match. The show has it all. Crazy stories, thrills of victories, agongies of defeats, exploitation by silver haired middle aged white men, and cocaine; oh so much cocaine.

James and Jimmie have an exceptional chemistry and find fun in the turns of these stories. If you're not listening yet, I don't know what's wrong with you.

I Fucking love these guys!

These two are so funny. I laugh the whole time. I've learned so much useless information about athletes.

Even If You Don't Love Sports...

Totally worth the listen and interesting take on sports beyond just "they get paid too much" or "why can't they stop being so stupid." Lot more to athletes than I realized.

The real story of your childhood heroes

You may have loved the on field heroics, but wait till you learn of the off-field horrors. Great stories about athletes you thought you knew.
