Crime in Sports

This week, we start a series on a man who grew up in Northern Ireland, amidst "The Trouble" of the time. In part 1, we look at his origins, including boxing, from the age of 5, and watching his father be beaten by British soldiers, to eventually joining the youth wing of the IRA. He also fights anyone, and everyone. Doesn't take any guff from teachers, and comes up with a new, and horrifying way to get out of going to school!!

This week, we look at a man who was born in The Bahamas, went to college in the US, and played basketball, all over the world, before finally settling into Australia, as his home. The problem is, sexual assaults, and attacks on women follow him, wherever he goes. He is repeatedly caught, for the same exact things, for decades, and always ends up back out on the street. Even when he's a little older, he's still at it.

This week, we finish up our epic Evel Knievel series with the IRS breathing down Evel's neck. He decides that he's an artist, painting pictures, but that's not exactly the truth. He tries to rule his son's career "with an iron fist". He also owes someone $100 million dollars, and he needs a new liver. He also has a new, VERY young wife, and a string of arrests, for everything from domestic battery, to gun violations.

This week, Evel is in hot water, after beating a Fox executive with a baseball bat. He is sentenced to jail, but like Evel always does, he figures out a way to make it a spectacle, and a show. How does he do that? By renting limos for all the prisoners, and causing a major traffic jam, while angering everyone in the jail system. He also claims he's going to jump out of a plane, with no parachute, and that he's near broke, and "down to his last yacht"!!Check yourself into jail, get out out of jail on work furlough & spend your days, drinking, in Beverly Hills, and tell everyone that you're going to jump from 40,000 feet with no parachute with Evel Knievel - Part 9!!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/smalltownmurderSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Evel is again considering retirement, but not before he does a huge, primetime tv jump, that he hopes will allow him to make even more money. He needs that money, because he also gets really into yachts, and yacht decor. He stars in a movie about himself. He is also sued by just about everyone, and is arrested for a brutal baseball bat attack on movie executive, that dared mention the existence of Evel's mother, in a tell all book!!Start to tone down your jumps, because getting injured hurts your golf game, star in a movie, even though you can't act, and attempt to murder a man, in front of dozens of witnesses with Evel Knievel - Part 8!!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/smalltownmurderSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Evel finally makes his long awaited flight across The Snake River Canyon... with mixed results. From his parachute opening too early, to the thousands of people who nearly plummeted to their deaths, just to get a good view.

This week, Evel keeps getting crazier, with both his jumps, and his lifestyle. The movie about his life premiers, shooting him into superstar fame. His toy becomes the smash hit of Christmas.

This week, we keep this crazy tale going, as Evel acquires a bit of fame, but is too injured from his numerous crashes to take advantage.

This week, we look at the life of a World Series MVP, who seemed to have a roller coaster of a career, from being a marginal player, to being one of the best catchers in the league, and back again.

This week, we continue the tale with Joanie, starting a life after wrestling. It's a bit bumpy, to say the least.

This week, we look into the most violent, heartless & criminally active person we've ever talked about. He had an ultra short boxing career, because he was busy, setting up a drug empire, and committing cold blooded murders. Anyone who testifies against him also isn't safe, because he will firebomb whole families, just to get back at you. Wiretaps capture him saying some of the worst things imaginable.
