#310 - Storm Clouds Gathering - The Abominableness of Chris "The Canadian Crippler" Benoit

This week, we take a gander at a champion, movie star, hero to millions in his country... And violent lunatic. He went from utter poverty, to reaching god-like status, with his violence going unchecked. No one was safe from his wrath, including photographers at Christmas parties, people who want nothing more than to eat pizza, fellow bus passengers, construction workers who try to negotiate the price of a car, and most of all his wives. His constant abuse eventually got him shot, and one of his wives dead. He's a real peach of guy, and we have a blast taking apart his twisted, tragic mess of a life. This man epitomizes what Crime In Sports is all about. Jump into your trunks, smoke 5 packs of cigarettes, and punch the nearest human being with Carlos Monzon!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we look at possibly the biggest lunatic that we've ever had the pleasure of researching. Don't let his past as a mediocre professional wrestler fool you, his real career was drug trafficking, extortion, violence, murder, the bombing of a police station, and possibly being the greatest used Jeep salesman in the history of North America. This episode is chock full of murderous, revenge seeking bikers, weak prison sentences, and absolute lunacy. Take off your shirt, visit the ol' bomb fridge, and conspire to kill dozens with Ion "Johnny K-9" Croitoru!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we have wall to wall crime, as we discuss a most horrid individual. A man who went from the highs of being a Super Bowl champion, to the lows of working the overnight shift in a small town gas station, repeated arrests for the most terrible of crimes, selling his championship ring on eBay, and finally earning a prison sentence that won't have him free for decades. This episode is so jam packed with crimes, you will be amazed that a person could be free long enough to commit all of them. It's as crazy an episode as we've had, on one of the worst people. Return a punt for a touchdown, have a ridiculous amount of children, with a ridiculous amount of people, and force yourself on anyone within reach with Dave Meggett!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we peek into the world of a man who had more than his fair share of what he called "personal problems". These problems overtook a once promising NBA career, and sent him to much less glamorous places, such as Binghamton, NY, and prison. Find out why he would flee from a hospital with a gaping stab wound in his neck, or why he just couldn't seem to ever be anywhere that he was supposed to be, when he was supposed to be there. Or, most importantly, why couldn't he stop committing horribly repugnant, and violent crimes!! Skip out on practice, call a press conference, and do horrid things to those who are closest to you with Sylvester "Sly" Williams!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we look at an Olympic gold medalist, and world class human garbage pile. He went from being one of his country's biggest heroes, to being known for his heinous crimes, including the international smuggling of women, and putting together plots to kidnap billionaire's daughters for ransom. Just when you think he can't be any worse of a person, he becomes friends with some even worse people, while serving time for his awful acts, forming maybe the most horrible little gang in history. He's crazy. He's evil. And he is a complete idiot. Slip on your bedazzled leotard, leap into the air, and hope to be judged kindly with Wolfgang Scwarz!! Check us out, every Tuesday.

This week, we tackle a story that is more twisted than a pretzel. What happens when you mix a former NFL player, with the fiance of wealthy, older businessman? We'll give you a hint... It's not good for the wealthy, older businessman. Join us for a tale of manipulation, tawdry affairs, and cold blooded murder. These are bad people, and we are going to give them what's coming to them. Or, we'll just tell the tale, and mock them for their stupidity, and incredible selfishness. Either way, this story is as fun as they come! Unless you're a wealthy businessman, with a fiance that is half your age. Lace up your cleats, find a murderous younger partner, and kill a millionaire with Eric Naposki!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

This week, we take deep look at a violent, arrogant, aggressive, spoiled man that represents all that we loathe about criminal athletes. His prowess as a serial assaulter, and complete moron far overshadow his impressive gifts on the soccer field. He boasts a string of arrests, starting from the age of 17 that announce his presence as a true danger to not only teammates, and any women he may lay eyes on, but to the entire civilized world. He is as lethal with a birthday ice cream cone, as he is with his fists, and head, as well as being a master at throwing it all away. No one is safe from this lunatic. Choke a teammate, punch a stranger, and run as far as away as you can from Marlon King!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

This week, we take a long, hard look at one of the most irredeemable, horrid, quasi-human beings that we've ever covered. He was a prodigy in the boxing ring, as well in the legal system. From his struggles with substances, to his much bigger struggles with not entering women's homes, in the middle of the night, he proved himself to be unfit for any society on earth. No matter how many horrors he perpetrated, there was always a line of people dying to clean up his mess. Jab a needle into your arm, sneak in through the kitchen window, and climb into the ring, with Tony Ayala Jr!! Check us out, every Tuesday.
