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"!

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!!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.

#434 - Violence Aficionado - 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!!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.

#433 - Boobs Out, Guns Down - 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.

#432 - Fists Of Iron, Brains Of Pudding - 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!!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.

#431 - Vigo The Carpathian - Wilhelm Von Homburg (Norbert Grupe)

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!!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.

#430 - The Lizzie Borden Of Baseball - Martin Bergen

This week, we look at the story of a man, who should still be in the NFL, but screwed up way too much to stick around. His legal problems started in college, and quickly progressed, during his very brief NFL career. He doesn't seem to be a very good driver, but that just leads to chases & tasings. He also seems to have no problem punching a pregnant woman, or his cousin. His epic Pizza Hut arrest video is one of the craziest things of all time!!Be a little kid, when your father is stabbed to death by your stepmother, pull the taser prongs out of your own back, so you can keep running from the cops, and confuse Pizza Hut with Papa John's, while taking it all out on your cousin with Mark Walton!!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.

#429 - Respecting Your Family - Mark Walton

This week, we finish up this epic tale of a fall from grace with Jayson repeatedly getting his reckless manslaughter trial delayed. While we wait, his wife files for divorce, making some pretty strong accusations, and Jayson is arrested a couple more time. One of these arrests has him telling police a hilariously ridiculous lie, to try to keep from getting arrested. Does he actually end up in prison? Will he turn it around & be "good, now"?

#428 - Prince Of Peace - Jayson Williams - Part 4

This week, we follow as Jayson stands trial for the killing of his limo driver. Before the trial a very damaging story comes out about a dog, that doesn't look good for Jayson, but lawyers insist that he will clear everything up with his testimony, only to not send him to the stand. Jayson uses his massive resources to clog up the trial with many experts, who have some questionable theories about how shotguns work, and who question the motives of witnesses!! Will he get away with it??Spend millions of dollars on your trial, go on 20/20 to get your story out, while really angering a judge, and get a whole series of soon to be discredited experts to say that you did nothing wrong with Jayson Williams - Part 3!!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.

#427 - The King Of New Jersey - Jayson Williams - Part 3

This week, we start off with a man, being killed with a shotgun, in Jayson's bedroom. The claim is that it was a suicide. Until we find out that Jayson & his friends did a lot to alter the evidence, including wiping Jayson's fingerprints off the gun, and trying to put the victim's prints on it. He denies any wrongdoing, and uses his money to delay the trial as long as possible, and get his own publicity out there!

#425 - For The Love Of Oprah - Jayson Williams - Part 1

This week, we delve into the story of a woman who started out as a successful bodybuilder, and transferred that into notoriety by her many, many appearances on The Howard Stern show.
