  • #440 - Savage Justice - Kaboni Savage - Part 1
    Dec 24 2024

    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. He's a true menace to society!!


    Put your boxing career on the shelf, in favor of a more lucrative drug empire, threaten all of your associates with murder, for the slightest disloyalty, and talk on wiretaps about pouring barbecue sauce onto burned children with Kaboni Savage - Part 1!!


    Check us out, every Tuesday!


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

  • #439 - Liquor & Gold Diggers - Hank Thompson
    Dec 17 2024

    This week, we check out a baseball player, who won a World Series, with Willie Mays... after he shot a man to death in a bar. He was also a WWII veteran, and Negro League superstar. But his love of booze & casual hook ups sent his life spiraling out of control, eventually selling his World Series ring for liquor money, and committing a string of crimes, that he's lucky he wasn't executed for. Does he ever turn it around???


    Be an alcoholic by the time you should be a junior in high school, get hit in the head with so many baseballs, that you think it might have lead you to a life of crime, and try to turn it around by cleaning pools in the sun with Hank Thompson!!

  • #438 - Some Kind Of Monster - Tom Payne - Part 2
    Dec 10 2024

    This week, we finish up this terrible tale, with Tom fighting to get out of prison, all while even more unspeakable charges are leveled against him. His legal team call it a "giant conspiracy", that may even involve the Atlanta Hawks! He is eventually released from prison, tries to become a boxer & does some bit acting parts. Then, he does it, again. And this time, he's caught in the act, by 2 police officers. Will he ever be "good, now"?? It's Tom Payne - Part 2!!


    Be sued by a cellmate for an unprovoked attack, cal the whole legal & basketball system "a giant conspiracy" against you, and be caught, in the act of doing the exact thing you've always denied with Tom Payne!!

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.

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!!

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.
