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 crimeinsports.threadless.com  Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things CIS & STM!!   Contact us on... twitter.com/crimeinsports  crimeinsports@gmail.com  facebook.com/Crimeinsports  instagram.com/smalltownmurder See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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!

This week, we skate back into the brain damage sports, with a Hall of Fame hockey player, who has definitely been done some terrible things, and has been accused of worse. The main problem appeared to be a desire, on his part, to not have his pants on, during times when his pants should most certainly be on. This leads to some angry neighbors, police surveillance, and an accusation of one of the worst things you could think of... in a limo... with 3 other players, and a 17 year old girl. Quite the wild life, and lack of personal responsibility!! Snap your leg in half, before you even get to the NHL, wear very strange outfits that absolutely don't cover what needs to covered, and have no accountability whatsoever with Dino Ciccarelli!!

This week, we dive back into the "brain damage sports" with a man who played both pro football, and had a decent career as a wrestler. He's a giant Minnesota guy, who grew up with many of the famous wrestlers of the 80s & 90s, but never quite broke through to the main event level. Where he is a main event talent, is in getting arrested. He has been arrested over 15 times for basically the same thing! Keep this man away from all car keys! He's certainly a menace, but a very entertaining menace, who has done enough crazy stuff for 3 normal lifetimes!! Be a giant man in Minnesota, follow in the mold of Bruiser Brody, and never drive, if you're sober enough to see the road with John "The Berzerker" Nord!! Check us out, every Tuesday!

This week, we go back in time to look at the life of a major league baseball player. His career ended in the 1920s, so he switched his profession to drinking, and trying to get a younger woman to like him, regardless of the fact that he's married. Not surprisingly, this ends badly, when he tracks his young lady friend to a hotel, where a ukulele playing suitor serenades the object of Sam's affection. Gunshots, ukulele beatings, and a gauntlet of good samaritans make this wild scene even more interesting! A very wild ride!! Play baseball before The Dodgers were even The Dodgers, drink yourself into looking 30 years older than you are, and always answer any perceived slight with gunfire with "Lucky" Sam Crane!!

This week, we check out the happenings of one of the most vilified athletes of the 21st century. He went from an incredible level of college glory, to doing just about nothing right, in the NFL. He drank, he did drugs, he didn't study films... and of course he got arrested. Quite a bit. The type of arrests that result in shirtless, smirking mugshots, that could drive anyone insane! In the end, he was done with football by his late 20s, and had solidified his reputation as one of the worst decisions that a pro franchise ever made, and a general menace to society!! Come from oil money, that allows you to grow up at a country club, set all sorts of amazing college football records, then throw it away by making every mistake that is humanly possible with Johnny Manziel!!

This week, we look into the life of a man who won an Olympic medal, before sneaking into the US, from Cuba, on a cargo ship. Within a few years, he committed one of the strangest crimes, in the history of Florida, which is saying something. He ends up having a half decent MMA career, at an older age, but then gets himself involved in one of the most callous, and brutal murders that is possible to commit. What starts out as a nice story, quickly turns to a very scary one!! Float to the US amongst some cargo, on a ship, start your MMA career, after you seem to already have brain damage, and set up of a kidnapping/torture/murder, while training for your next fight with Alexis "The Exorcist" Vila!!

This week, we check out the life of a man who had plenty of good things happen to him, due strictly to the fact that he is 7 feet tall. He squandered his opportunities, while smiling his way out of a job, and eventually, his freedom. He was called "the worst driver of any Detroit athlete" by a newspaper, and that was only the start. He ends up being very familiar with prison, due to his constant drug use, and apparent intent to distribute cocaine! Did he ever turn it around, or is he still wandering through life, just hitting his head on things?? Be the worst driver in Detroit, threaten to fight a cop, while you have a car full of weed, and be careful not to get "back stabbed" with William Bedford!!

This week, we delve into something completely different, by discussing a Dutch beach volleyball player, who is accomplishing a very infamous feat, by getting an episode of this show, before his 30th birthday. Based on that, you know he did something horrible, and you're right. He absolutely did. He has everything a person could want, but that's not enough for him, as he also has to insist on being one of the worst people that you can be! Does this take his career away? Not at all. Partners will still play with him, and tournaments will allow him to compete. Like it never happened! Be from a place that's famous for eating the livers of a couple of prominent citizens, be 6'6" and able to spike a volleyball, and make everybody sick, not only with your actions, but your reactions to your actions with Steven Van de Velde!!

This week, we look at a man who was can best described as equal parts violence, and desire. He fought his way to the NFL, and all the way to being a Super Bowl trivia answer & a member of the "Legion of Boom", but along the way, everything seemed to fall apart. It started with a drug charge, but ends up with an increasingly dangerous & violent streak, directed mainly toward his ex girlfriend, and her family. He takes it to a serious extreme, causing himself to face a possibility of life in prison! A wild ride of a story, and a crazy "where are they, now?"!! Fight your way from Canada to the NFL, be one of only 7 people on earth to do a particular thing, and break into your ex's house, through a window, and cause mass havoc!!
