This week, we explore the life of a woman, who had a whole persona, built on lies. She won the Boston Marathon... but did she really? Is she a sick person, who can't help but lie, or a persecuted person, who never had her true accomplishments recognized? Either way, a life of crime is the result, including some fraud, and participation in an "all woman cocaine ring". After disappearing from the public eye, does she ever resurface?Come out of nowhere to win a marathon, be a part of an "all woman cocaine ring", and lie about just about everything with Rosie Ruiz!! 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

#263 - Busted, Prison, Rinse, Repeat - The Unremittingness of Charles Zwolsman Sr

This week, we try to scratch beneath the surface of a man who has had untold success. Not in sports, but in the entertainment industry, after a brief stint in the NFL.

#261 - Nobody Likes A Cody - The Insipidness of Cody Ledbetter

This week, we look at a man who could have been one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Number 1 overall draft pick & every accolade that exists. He was even Michael Jordan's idol. So, how did this sure thing turn so wrong? Cocaine. Cocaine. Oh, and cocaine. His career was even ended at Studio 54, of all places. A tragic story, that everyone should know about.

#260 - Michael Jordan's Idol - The Unrealizedness of David "Skywalker" Thompson

This week, we c heck out a man with possibly double the brain damage, as he was both a football player & a pro wrestler. His attitude made his football career less of an option, but he was perfect for wrestling. The only problem is that he can't seem to stay out of police custody.

#259 - Steroids, G-Strings & Federal Crime - The Swaggeringness of Jeff Gaylord

This week, we tell a tale of potential, talent & repeated stupidity. He fought through coming from nowhere, and being drafted into the Army, after his rookie season, only to make a rocket like rise to superstardom, then comes crashing down, faster than a shooting star. He continues to make mistake after mistake, leaving ex-teammates, family & spouses wondering why he can't get it together.

#258 - Stabbed & Left For Drunk - The Disquietingness of Warren Wells

#257 - Smokin' & Cursin' & Drinkin' & Murderin' - The Unforgivableness of Willie "The Cannon" Shannon

This week, we tell a story that more people really should know about. He came from segregated Mississippi, all the way to the World Series, but the high of success could never match his love for a different high... Crack! He smoked crack at home. In the car.

#256 - Fill My Hat With Crack - The Jauntiness of Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd

This week, we explore a story that was seemingly very predictable. This is the first episode ever, where we cover the sibling of a CIS alum. He was aggressive, and very violent, which made him a pretty decent MMA fighter, but a terrible fit for any other situation. His constant bouts of violence, fueled by anger, and cocaine left people in fear, right up until the end of the story, which is possibly the craziest ending of any of our stories! Be a three time state wrestling champion, follow in your older brother's footsteps in both crime & career, and end your story like a western movie with Tyler "The Beast" East!! 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/crimeinsportscrimeinsports@gmail.comfacebook.com/Crimeinsportsinstagram.com/smalltownmurder

This week, we check out someone who had the world in the palm of his hands, only to spike it to the ground, and stomp on it, with both feet.

Friends, family, and old teammates try to help him, but their efforts fall of deaf ears, as his thirst for getting arrested just can't be quenched! Be the MVP of New York state, win a national championship, and fight your coach in the locker room with Bernard "Looney" Toone!! 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/crimeinsportscrimeinsports@gmail.comfacebook.com/Crimeinsportsinstagram.com/smalltownmurder
