This week, we look at a man who has done nothing, but fight. In the MMA octagon, or on the street, in his home... it doesn't matter. He's in prison, before he ever even starts his very mediocre fighting career. In this first part, he fights non fighters, his girlfriend has disappeared, he is wanted for a double murder, and he's hiding in a garbage can! Wall to wall crazy!! Be sentenced to prison before your 18th birthday, strike fear in the hearts of the women in your life, and make all...

This week, we look at a boxer, with a familiar nickname, who came from a long line of boxers. His hard nosed style brought him all the way to championships, but seemingly overnight, everything changed. His drinking got out of control, and he seemed to punch everyone he met. This includes everyone from cops, to grocery store employees, to several people at a brothel, and many, many more. This makes him an international criminal, and ends any hopes of having a legendary career! Come from a...

This week, we check out a guy who had one crazy life. He was a college basketball star, who got kicked out of the NBA, and became a lawyer. Then, after a prison term for running a gambling syndicate, with several well known mobsters, he does what every basketball player/lawyer/ex con does... he produces porn. In the end, the whole thing is a murder mystery, with the mafia looking like the culprits! Be a top NBA draft pick, get thrown out of the league for gambling, then be crime's version...

This week, we look at a man, who accomplished it all in the world of the NFL. He's a Super Bowl champ, defensive player of the year, and hall of famer. He also talked his way to being hated by a large percentage of fans, while taking some cheap shots, on the field. He also seems to be a little rough with the ladies, and apparently likes to renegotiate with escorts, which makes sense, since he somehow blew through $58 million in career earnings!! Dominate 3 sports in high school, have...

This week, we look at a man, who appeared to have it all together. An Olympic medalist, who went on to somehow make some money in professional swimming. Once his career was over, he moved on to teaching kids, enjoying his family, and being a minister. The problem is, he was also doing a VERY terrible thing, right in his own neighborhood. What would cause his family to flee to New Zealand, to not be mentioned with him? Something awful. Be a national hero, before your senior year of high...

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...

This week, we look at an original member of the ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) crew, who never quite broke through to the level that he wanted. He continued to wrestle on the independent circuit, until committing one of the worst acts anybody could commit. Apparent brain damage, mixed with a short temper, and penchant for manipulation all seemed to come together to make this guy a human nightmare! Start on the ground floor of a soon to be popular enterprise, hold your wife hostage,...

This week, we check out the exploits of a man, who grew up around a few other players, who also had interesting stories. His childhood was filled with tragedy, and it just kept coming, with his adult life. Laziness, delusions of greatness, strange behavior, and probable brain damage cause this potential star to circle the drain!! Have everyone around you drop dead, watch your pal be drafted number 1 overall, and spiral out of control, while carrying around your high school basketball...

This week, we look at a man who broke records for speed, and innovated ways to go faster, by helping invent engine components. He is one of the most respected drag racers in history. He also apparently liked the company of young boys. A little too much. He was repeatedly arrested for awful things, and let go with slaps on the wrist. The things he has been accused of as bad as they could be, but he's somehow welcome back into his sport. Have a seriously wild background, have no fear of...

This week, we fight our way through the story of a man, who came from at least 4 generations of boxers, who all seem to to have problems, outside of the ring. Between him, and his brothers, it's an avalanche of crime, and legal proceedings. But our guy has them all beat by committing one of the most hideous crimes, ever. He may seriously be the worst person we've ever covered! Start boxing at age 3, be a walking police blotter, along with your brothers, and deny your unspeakable crime,...

This week, we go back in time to look into a man who was born in 1878! He played for the St Louis Cardinals, before they were called that. Famous for his strut, cockiness, and crazy things he did while drinking. Things like punching showgirls, and pulling guns on train conductors. He transitioned from baseball, into a film career that had him in some pretty wild circumstances. A wild guy, living an old timey wild life!! Hate your nickname, have your team refuse to play in the 2nd World...

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...

This week, we continue this story of insanity with more cocaine, more arrests, and a few surprise twists that no one could see coming. He continued to fight, long after it was probably healthy to do so. He also had suicide attempts, other brushes with death, rehabs, relapses, and plenty of drama. Including his wife marrying his brother, and Johnny finally finding his long thought dead father... Or, did he??? Keep fighting, long after it's healthy to do so, ignore everything you've learned...

This week, we dip back into the brain damage sports to bring the tale of a man, who had a life straight out of a movie that would be considered unrealistic, because of the pure craziness involved. We have a murder, while he's still in the womb, more death & murder, before the age of 8. He also joined a gang, had a major concussion, and fought drunken adults for money, at the behest of his grandfather. All before the age of 12. Then he starts boxing, and gets VERY into cocaine! Pure...

This week, we look at a a man who played a sport that we didn't know existed. He ended up being the guy to take the sport of snooker from a stuffy, not televised bore, into a televised, slightly less boring event! He was a colorful, charismatic player who was the Happy Gilmore of snooker. He also smoked 4 packs a day, punched refs, threw plates at spectators, beat his girlfriend with a hairdryer, and committed "the slowest suicide in sports history"!! Start hanging out in dive bars at age...

This week, we catch up with a guy who most people last saw, in a video, being beaten in the street, rather than being in the NBA Finals, next to Lebron James, and possibly Lebron's mom, as well! There is no way not to feel for a guy who clearly has some mental issues to deal with, but he has to help himself before it's too late. In the meantime, he continues to get arrested, and say absolutely outlandish things, like yelling at police officers that he "is the real President"! Be a most...

This week, we check out the life of a man who had a horrible start to his life. He ended up, understandably, full of anger at the world, that he channeled into overcoming gigantic odds, and fighting his way into a big time college football program. This leads to NFL success, and a seemingly great life, but he always had something, just under the surface, that wouldn't let him reach his full potential. This all results in a crazy, and sad ending!! Have one of the worst childhoods possible,...

This week, we look at a legendary baseball player, who had skill, style, a really nasty fastball, and an appetite for cocaine, and driving drunk. He was plagued by playing for one of the cheapest owners in history, even qualifying for public housing, while having an MVP & Cy Young Award winning season, while this owner tried to get him to change his name to something more marketable. Life looked bright, but he couldn't get out of his own way. Did he ever turn it around? A crazy tale of...

This week, we look at someone who was thought to be the toughest man alive, by just about everyone who ever met him. A college football player/wrestler, who made his mark in pro wrestling, all over the world. He was as beloved as he was feared. We'll hear all about too many bar/street fights to count, not mention how a person gets caught at customs, with a lot of drugs... THREE times! Be an amazing athlete at every sport you try, insist that copious amounts of drugs can be taken to other...

This week, we tell the rest of the tale of a man who achieved great success, at the same time as he seemingly began to lose his mind, with strange interactions, violent encounters, and horrible accusations. One woman allegedly jumped off a yacht to escape his wrath, while we also found out that no NBA mascot is safe with this guy around. He's wealthy, arrogant, and possibly completely insane!! Start your own whiskey, invite an Italian DJ to a party, then punch him in the face, then be...

This week, we check out the happenings of a guy who gained worldwide fame, seemingly overnight. He quickly became the UFC's biggest draw, with both his aggressive fighting style, and brash persona. But did he start believing his own press? He fought a silly spectacle against Floyd Mayweather, then it all starts to go downhill. This week, we take you through his start, fame, and the beginning of the coming disaster!! Come from blue collar beginnings, rise to worldwide fame, and have Dana...

This week, we look at a man who had very large aspirations, but didn't quite have the talent to make them a reality. He was raised to be strong, and politically active, but he may have taken the "strength" part a little too seriously. He's had numerous accusations of violence, usually against women, who are usually pregnant. Finally, he is "allegedly" tangled in the murder plot of a woman, who was pregnant with his baby, that hangs over his head, to this very day! Have your father want...
