    The Child Whooping Paradox - Adrian Peterson - Part 2

    This week, we check back in with Adrian, as he recovers from losing a son. He also quickly gets in trouble for a "whooping" that he put on his 4 year old son. He tries to say that beatings are what made him the man he became, but this beating seems to go beyond the norms, even for Texas, even though plenty of people say that he did nothing wrong. Pictures of the injuries horrify both a judge, and the NFL commissioner, and there are consequences in both of those arenas. But will the punishment fit the crime?

    Tell everyone that Jesus got you through the loss of your young son, as soon as you're done grieving one son, get in trouble for abusing another son, and make sure to never have a bit of remorse with Adrian Peterson - Part 2!!

    Check us out, every Tuesday!

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

    Dead Player Battleship - Adrian Peterson - Part 1

    This week, we celebrate episode 500!! We look at one of the greatest players to ever play his position, in NFL history. He has countless accolades, to attest to his football prowess. Only problem is, he also had quite the prowess for ending up in handcuffs. We start with his difficult, and sometimes tragic childhood, only to see him overcome these things. He also seems to believe that he's possibly above the law, which will make for crazy times!!

    Choose a location, so you can play "Dead Player Battleship", featuring horrible quarterbacks, realize that seeing your brother be killed, in front of you, would mess anyone up, and decide to NEVER hit a child, especially if it isn't even yours with Adrian Peterson - Part 1!!

    Cocaine In My Shoes, Needles In My Veins - Steve "Mental Case" Durbano - Part 2

    This week, we finish up this wild story with Steve, getting back into the NHL, only to barely play, and end up unemployed. He fills in this employment gap by going down to Bolivia, and trying to smuggle cocaine into Canada, with a wild & fun excuse. He does his prison time, only to get back into drugs, and end up in more trouble, including running an "escort service" that definitely wasn't legal. All of this, and his sad, pitiful ending!

    Keep telling NHL teams that you're ready to stop getting in trouble, tell a judge that you didn't know there was a lot of cocaine, in your shoes, and destroy your body with drugs with Steve "Mental Case" Durbano - Part 2!!

    Bald &amp; Belligerent - Steve "Mental Case" Durbano - Part 1

    This week, we look at a hockey player, who was a little too violent & short tempered, even for hockey. He never had a goal, other than playing hockey, and he achieved that by being drafted in the 1st round. But the only potential he ever lived up to was his potential for violence. He attacked opposing players, fans, coaches, trianers, timekeepers, and even the police! This temper leads to obvious arrests, and a big future of crime, ahead of him!!

    Be terrified of your overinvolved father... until you beat him up, use your hockey stick as just an extension of your hand & hit people with it, and tell everyone that you're on your best behavior, then try to start a riot with Steve "Mental Case" Durbano - Part 1!!

    On Top Of Creep Mountain - Charles Barrett

    This week, we look at an absolutely horrible human being, who competed in a sport that we've never talked about! Rock climbing! He was an idol of other climbers, as he made his own routes up mountains, and published several books about climbing. But under the surface, there was a violent sexual predator. He beat women, then threatened them if they dared report it. He sexually attacked women, and stalked them into hiding. He may have even assaulted dozens more, while climbing. Did he get what he deserved??

    Compete in a sport, where getting stoned before participating in it seems standard, turn into a different, violent person, with just a pause, and be the menace of an entire region's women with Charles Barrett!!

    Not Consensual - Jim Krakouer

    This week, we look at an Autralian football player, who came from hard times, and only made things worse for himself. He was an aggressive player, at a time when it was perfectly acceptable to hurl racial slurs upon a field of play. But none of that holds an answer to why he did the things he did. From a youthful conviction, for a reprehensible crime, to having an ongoing sexual "relationship" with a 14 year old girl, to having enough meth to keep all of Australia hyper, he couldn't have gone more wrong!

    Be on a football team with your brother, claim your sexual relationship with a 14 year old was "consensual", and never take a bit of responsibility for anything with Jim Krakouer!!

    Don't Care About No Drugs - Daniel Straus

    This week, we look at an MMA fighter, who had it rough & practically raised himself. He was a champion wrestler in high school, but didn't start his MMA career, until after a stint in prison. He also had a stint at Steak & Shake, making getting punched in the face sound like a good option. His career was decent, but he could never get out from under his legal problems. From robbery, to drug charges, to terrible driving, and a horrific alleged attack on his ex-girlfriend, he's a bit of a mess!!

    Fight your way out of Steak & Shake, be thrown from a moving motorcycle & almost killed, and make sure to blame anybody but yourself for your problems with Danny Straus!!

    The Staircase Romantic - Wayne "Big Money" Simmons - Part 2

    This week, we finish off this story with Wayne, starting his NFL career, but it doesn't work out quite like he wanted. He's shuffled around the league, even picking up a Super Bowl ring, but always seems to do something to get him on the wrong side of his team, and the law. Most of his legal problems happen at 3 AM. This includes bad driving, a lot of punching, and a horrible accusation, from a young lady, on her graduation night. It all ends with a giant bang, as Wayne's 3 AM problems eventually get the best of him!!

    Entertain your teammates, while annoying your coaches, earn a Super Bowl ring, and be accused of a horrible crime, while claiming the whole thing was consenual with Wayne Simmons - Part 2!

    His Own Worst Enemy - Wayne Simmons - Part 1

    This week, we we start a two parter on a man who came from absolutely nothing, watching his mother cry, because she couldn't provide. This gives him the motivation to work hard enough to be drafted in the NFL, by the Green Bay Packers, but also the motivation to apparently be a huge, violent jerk. He attacks exchange student pizza delivery men, bouncers, people trying to stop him from fighting, and a college girl! And thats's only the beginning. Will he get it together, ort go further downhill?

    Have a want to make your mother stop crying, have no idea who any of your teammates are, and beat up peop,e who are much smaller than you with Wayne Simmons - Part 1!

    Always The Victim - Matt Barnes

    This week, we talk about a journeyman NBA player, who managed to stay in the league for over a decade, but never made the impact he wanted. While bouncing around the league, he got in beefs with several players, coaches, another player's mother, and even a high school journalist. But he also had iussues with his own reality star wife, and got publicly dissed by Rhianna. Currently, he has actually turned this all into a very successful podcast venture!!

    Think that you're much better than you actually are, fight an opposing team's coach for being with your ex-wife, and always post every thought that you have on social media with Matt Barnes!!

    The Adventures Of Thunderbutt - Nathan Baggaley

    This week, we find out about an Australian olympian, in a sport that we've never covered, canoeing! He had all the promise in the world, but he also had a need to seemingly try to build a giant drug empire. He is busted many times, including one attempted shipment of cocaine, that had the Australian Navy, giving chase, while bricks of cocaine were hurled overboard. This resulted in massive amounts of cocaine, washing up all up and down the Aussie coastline!!

    Get out of the family oyster farming business, buy yourself a boat, under the guise of whale watching, and fling bricks of coke into the Pacific with Nathan Baggaley!!
