Allan Langer in Australia, affectionately known as Alfie, he’s a huge character, big divining problem.

2025-11-16 21:26:48 +0000 UTCBad take on this one guys! Yikes! He saw him coming from at least half court. Would it be ridiculous if Rudy died? 😬

2025-10-09 20:40:35 +0000 UTCJames, what about covering up the late 80s Phoenix Suns drug busts for the Patreon

2025-10-01 16:33:30 +0000 UTCGreat episode, when I lived in Portland in the 90s ex laker Michael Thompson and Kermit Washington had a sports talk show together that was actually really good and he would talk about the incident occasionally...

2025-10-01 02:41:22 +0000 UTCHey guys, you should do an episode on Cecil “the diesel” Collins. Used to play for the Miami dolphins and was quite the scumbag with a long arrest record!
Carlo Ferrarone
2025-09-30 17:10:42 +0000 UTCDisagree with the guys’ defense of Washington here. But, another fantastic episode.
Ryan Fenton
2025-09-30 13:35:54 +0000 UTCFinally Raja got arrested

2025-09-30 04:46:00 +0000 UTCAnother great episode guys 👍
Stephen Tot
2025-09-30 04:44:35 +0000 UTCAwesome! I'm sure I'm not the reason for this episode, but I sent them an email a few years ago suggesting Kermit, complete with the fraud. Great job guys!
Lola and the Raydawggg
2025-09-29 21:58:03 +0000 UTCLove the pictures here!! I have not noticed pictures posted on Patreon before have I been missing them?

2025-09-29 14:36:23 +0000 UTCKent Benson is from my hometown. He is a genuinely good person. Also—lots of us think Abdul-Jabbar saw him as a threat. Benson never played as confidently after that punch.
Ginger Thomas
2025-09-29 05:44:46 +0000 UTCI think you should do a bonus episode on Hope Solo (just her) I think she's had a couple more run ins since the Jerramy Stevens episode

2025-09-29 03:41:44 +0000 UTCIn Fairbanks Alaska there is a baseball game played on the summer solstice. it is collegiate summer baseball team, the Gold Panners. Something interesting to look into.

2025-09-28 21:12:28 +0000 UTCNot being American, I had to look that fight up… oh damn :x
YeCrustModifier
2025-09-28 19:06:10 +0000 UTCWow! What a punch!
Elizabeth Freeman
2025-09-28 18:56:51 +0000 UTCHas any one watched the Owen Hanson documentary? I think they should do an episode in him. I bet James can find lots more on him.

2025-09-28 18:43:16 +0000 UTCI always find it weird the things that Americans put Irish in front of that we don't do I swear we hate Irish Americans as much as you all do stop associating them and their behaviour with us 🤣🤣🤣
Stephen Watts
2025-09-28 17:46:43 +0000 UTCJimmie has done 1 Small Town Murder episode bonus, it would be great to hear him do a Crime in Sports episode
D Minus
2025-09-28 17:45:24 +0000 UTCWonder what the PSI was on that punch? Less damage has been done with a car.

2025-09-28 17:20:32 +0000 UTCWow. So many Kentucky connections... lol. John Y. Brown, Jr. (no relation to me) was Governor of Kentucky when I was a kid. (Funny side note if you're a sports fan, and if we're close in age: His wife, Phyllis George, was a former Miss America, and was on "The NFL Today", with Bret Musburger, etc.), and Pee Wee Reese is from Louisville.
Jon Brown (yes, real name)
2025-09-28 17:15:34 +0000 UTCMaybe it’s been covered too much, but I feel like there’s a funky way to talk about Silvio Berlusconi, owned AC Milan and then was the prime minister a bunch of times in Italy
Christian Chambless
2025-09-28 15:59:56 +0000 UTCGreat episode! here are some wrestlers that would be cool to hear you guys cover! Joey Ryan Velveteen Dream Darsean Kelley Matt Riddle Brock Lesnar Alberto Del Rio Michael Elgin Stone Cold Marty Scrull And especially the Raja Jackson v Psycho Stu incident!
Logan Austin
2025-09-28 15:56:32 +0000 UTCWow! What a crazy story. I'm putting spinal fluid on my list of things I never want to taste.
Tammy Hedrick
2025-09-28 15:21:32 +0000 UTCYou have to cover Brandon Martin. A first round pick for the Rays who ended up committing triple homicide with a baseball bat. Another that I'm surprised hasn't been covered is Tate George, a former NBA player who might be better known for his mass investment fraud scheme. And a suggestion for a bonus episode is Anna Benson, the ex-wife of Kris Benson who may or may not have murdered two people.

2025-09-28 15:07:59 +0000 UTCBahaha, James.... "Oh, I don't give a fuck which ones" 🤣

2025-09-28 14:06:22 +0000 UTCHe also crossed my mind while listening to this.
Kath Finn
2025-09-28 13:59:48 +0000 UTCThere is the Scottish footballer Duncan Ferguson who got a prison sentence for on-field assault, and once got burgled and imprisoned and beat the shit out of the burglers
Jim Shaughnessy
2025-09-28 13:54:04 +0000 UTCTitus Young would be a good Patreon episode. Got arrested thrice in a week once.
phil biebesheimer
2025-09-28 03:24:56 +0000 UTCThat punch was BRUTAL. But my question is why would anyone try to fuck with Kareem? He was trained by Bruce Lee for fucks sake!!
