This week, we check out a baseball player, who won a World Series, with Willie Mays... after he shot a man to death in a bar. He was also a WWII veteran, and Negro League superstar. But his love of booze & casual hook ups sent his life spiraling out of control, eventually selling his World Series ring for liquor money, and committing a string of crimes, that he's lucky he wasn't executed for. Does he ever turn it around???

Be an alcoholic by the time you should be a junior in high school, get hit in the head with so many baseballs, that you think it might have lead you to a life of crime, and try to turn it around by cleaning pools in the sun with Hank Thompson!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

This week, we finish up this terrible tale, with Tom fighting to get out of prison, all while even more unspeakable charges are leveled against him. His legal team call it a "giant conspiracy", that may even involve the Atlanta Hawks! He is eventually released from prison, tries to become a boxer & does some bit acting parts. Then, he does it, again. And this time, he's caught in the act, by 2 police officers. Will he ever be "good, now"?? It's Tom Payne - Part 2!!

Be sued by a cellmate for an unprovoked attack, cal the whole legal & basketball system "a giant conspiracy" against you, and be caught, in the act of doing the exact thing you've always denied with Tom Payne!!

This week, we look at a man who broke barriers, both in good ways, and VERY bad ways. He was the first black player in the history of Kentucky basketball. He was one of the first players to come out of college, early, to join the NBA. His future seemed bright, until multiple accusations pop up, concerning the tallest rapist in history. He even has a certain signature to let police know what he did. Will he turn it all around, for part 2??

Become a pioneer of race relations, claim "hardship" to get into the NBA, so you can take care of your family, and be arrested for many rapes, in multiple states with Tom Payne - Part 1!!

This week, we look at a British Olympic diver, who took the country by storm, as a teenager. He married an Olympic gymnast, and set out to have the perfect life. They did traveling acrobatic shows, then settled on making a business out of making kids into Olympians, with their gym. This was going great, until many, many women accuse him of taking them into a basement called "Happyland", back when he "coached" them.

Be a national hero by the time you're barely a teenager, marry a medal winning gymnast, and destroy both your legacy & the lives of a lot of people, all at the same time!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

This week, we check out a rough, brawling enforcer, on the ice, who had a hard time keeping it together, off the ice. He was drafted, and signed to different teams because of one main skill; fighting. He was involved in a few of the NHL's all time best brawls, but as soon as he was done with hockey, the effects of all those blows to the head became apparent. After he sets his house on fire, he ends up living on the streets, struggling to control the headaches. It's wild, but sad tale!

fight 20 year old hockey players, when you're 19, have hockey denying that brain damage exists, then have a sad demise, complete with street crime & forgetting where you are, half the time, with Stephen Peat!!

This week, we look at a man, who was born to an actual Nazi, during WWII. He starts his adult life out with a most horrific crime, that can't be explained. He teams with his father to form a wrestling tag team, and was also a pretty decent pro boxer. His real fame came from movies like "Die Hard", and as Vigo The Carpathian in "Ghostbusters 2"! He's such a bad guy, that he's unable to capitalize on the fame!

Come from Nazi roots, make sure not to know if your sister is really your sister... or, your daughter, and be drug addicted pimp, who goes on to take sarcastic barbs from Bill Murray with Wilhelm Von Homburg!!

This week, we check out an old timey baseball player, who completely lost his mind, during his playing days. One of the best catchers of his time, renowned for his baseball ability, but feared for his unstable, and insane behavior. He fought teammates, chased small children, who were fans of the other team, and generally crazied himself out of baseball, until his final, unbelievably violent series of acts, that has him compared to Lizzie Borden!

Grow up wanting to play that "new" sport, baseball, believe that your teammates are actually plotting to kill you, and end it all with one final slaughter, that will leave you as infamous, for the next hundred years with Martin Bergen!!
