    #417 - Turkey Bob & The Beggars - Ted Turner - Part 1
    Jul 16 2024

    This week, we tell an old timey story about one of the craziest families, that has ever existed, who happened to have produced a son, who had a very brief baseball career. His parents passed their criminology down to all 11 siblings, causing them to turn into a gang of sneak thieves, muggers, saloon brawlers, prostitutes & murderers. In part one, Ted is already in jail, before he's anywhere near an adult, but already involved in some serious crime!


    Be born into crime, have your father be the most prolific poultry thief in the state of Kentucky, and be in & out of jail, before you even play in the major leagues with Ted Turner - Part 1!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!


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

  • #416 - I'm No Pervert - "Fast" Eddie Johnson - Part 3

    #416 - I'm No Pervert - "Fast" Eddie Johnson - Part 3
    Jul 9 2024

    This week, we finish up this tale with Eddie already out of the NBA, but hopefully, on a better path. He wasn't. He was immediately arrested for burglary, and cocaine, then gets busted for selling crack to police. In the end, he commits one of the most terrible, awful crimes that even exists, ruining several lives, in the process, including a guy with the same name, who played for the same NBA team. He claims innocence, but is anyone buying it?


    Snort your way out of the NBA, use up all the good will of your family & friends, and die in in prison, after committing an absolutely unspeakable crime with "Fast" Eddie Johnson!!

    #415 - No One Saw Me Do It - "Fast" Eddie Johnson - Part 2
    Jul 2 2024

    This week, we continue this saga as Eddie tries to show everyone that his troubles are behind him. His legal, drug, and mental problems. But, the next thing you know, he's being hauled off the Atlanta Hawks practice court by police, and dragged off to a mental institution. He insists his drug problems are a thing of the past, but his own mother seems to disagree. Will he snort his way out of the NBA???


    Have your best season, be dragged out of work by police, and be as important to Ted Turner as a transponder on one of his satellites with "Fast" Eddie Johnson!!

You’ll never be sorry you listened

Without a doubt the greatest podcast in the history of podcasts and if you disagree then, you sir may fuck off. Get to know about the crimes your favourite athletes have committed and even better the crazy stories of people you’ve never heard of, all with a funny twist. James and Jimmie have got podcasting down to a fine art and nothing is better than the original!!

Entertaining even for non-sports-lovers

Excellent research, funny hosts, insane sportspeople who don't seem to think the law applies to them. Highly entertaining.

The best way to learn nothing about sport!

Thought I’d listen to this to learn about US sports, haven’t learnt a thing but I’ve listened to every episode!

Favourite and go to podcast.

This is my favourite podcast, although I enjoy both Small town murder and Crime in sports, I enjoy the sports stories very much especially the wrestling ones.

Exactly What it Says

Hilariously funny, brilliantly researched, incredibly informative, and just fantastic. Sit back, listen to these comedians skip merrily through the daffodils of a sports personality's life, and try not to laugh too hard as said personality self-destructs in spectacular fashion right at the peak of their success.
Interest in sports absolutely not required, in fact it's just as funny if you are completely uninterested in sports. Almost as though it's about watching someone climb the heights of success only to throw themselves off, and not about the sports at all.
