He fought through coming from nowhere, and being drafted into the Army, after his rookie season, only to make a rocket like rise to superstardom, then comes crashing down, faster than a shooting star. He continues to make mistake after mistake, leaving ex-teammates, family & spouses wondering why he can't get it together. He's a mess, but there is some serious crazy to this tale!

Be drafted into the Army, after your rookie season, drink so much that Raiders football players even think you have a problem, and never learn your lesson with Warren Wells!!

0:35.0

I am Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you folks so much for joining us again once and again once and again. I am so tired. It's been again and again and again and again and again. Thank you so much. We have a wild wild episode. We're talking some 60s 70s NFL action. So concussions a bound. We have a there's a cult tie into this one. Cult that we've never talked about before and honestly I've never heard of. This is like a right about it. I'm like where did this kind of I never heard?

1:05.0

This is crazy but the place it was happening and the time it was happening it was overshadowed by Jones Town. Basically late 70s Northern California. Yeah, that was Jones Town time. You can commit any crime you want in 2001. It was going to go away pretty quick. Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. Yeah, second those towers felt mob guys went we might have a break for a couple months. I'm just saying. That's Gary Condon. I mean, you know, so anyway, that said. Thank you folks for joining us again. Thank you especially for your reviews this week. Apple Podcasts.

1:35.0

Those purple icon reviews. They go a long way. You don't know why we don't make the system. We just try to try to work it. So give us five stars. It helps a lot on that.

I'm not sure which one is crime and sports. So check out. Shut up and give me murder dot com. It's a good way to find out right there. It'll be a lot of fun. Check that out. Come see us. We're going to have a blast. It's we can't wait to get back on the road. It's been too long. It's been way too long. It's costing me too much money. It's been not fair. It's been absolutely not fair. So that's that also.

2:35.0

Patreon Patreon dot com slash crime and sports. How great is Patreon. Oh my I'm telling you we so much fun. We always have fun with Patreon and this week is no different. If you just missed it. We have just posted new Patreon episodes. Yeah. Because this week we have posted first of all crime and sports as is backstage wrestler fights. Yeah. Which is probably the most fun subject we could have for real. It's right it up dudes on all sorts of other drugs. Massive head injuries and they're angry at each other.

3:05.0

That's good stuff right there. All sorts of kind of crazy ribs that ended in violence. Crazy tricks. They played on each other and then for our small town murders which you will also have access to because you have access to everything. All the crime and sports here. Patreon Patreon dot com slash crime and sports. We have all time. He murders which is again one of our favorites. It's a recurring bonus where we go back into the archives of newspapers and the way they describe murders in the actual manner of murders and like the 1890s is off the charts. Bunkers.

3:35.0

It's crazy stuff so we're going to do that so much fun Patreon dot com slash crime and sports and you'll be a producer so you will get a shout out at the end of the show and have your name mispronounced brutally.

3:45.0

Sure. Brutally while while we're trying our best Jimmy tries to be different in the world but it still won't help. So there's that or if you just want to be a producer and get your shout out and have great karma and our undying affection you can do that over at PayPal using our email address crime in sports at gmail dot com.

4:03.0

And thank you and thank you so much for everybody that does that that said let's give you some show here. We got a lot of show and it's just a weird S this is a very strange guy he he's got a lot of parallels to oil can OK there's a lot of parallels and kind of the the manner of his growing up and some other things but then he doesn't quite have it together as much as oil can because of the time when it happened.

4:32.8

We understood even less about all this stuff and instead of getting someone proper help they just make them literally a judge sentence to him to go to a cult for 90 days like they didn't know what to do.

4:44.8

So it's it's an interesting tale let's talk about Warren Wells you know he is never never heard of him he's late 60s raider and you know kind of the beginning of that real raider thing and

4:57.8

the stereotype yeah he was a big part of it he was a great receiver just a fantastic receiver that one of those guys where people go what the hell happened to that guy he was great and then he was gone he didn't like fizzle he was in the pro ball and then he never saw him again wow the weirdest thing in the world and it's because his life completely spun out of control in just a a myriad of arrests and disaster and social media in the internet didn't exist so you didn't know you nobody knew yeah just kind of you're reading the paper.

5:27.4

So Warren Wells born November 14th 1942 so an older gentleman here obviously born Jesus mid world war two here I can the war effort was cranking up for us at this point he's born in Franklin Louisiana.

5:41.4

Yeah.

5:42.4

He I guess he lived there for a minute but he was born in Fremont Louisiana yeah and he said he recognized the if they moved to Beaumont when he was very little Beaumont Texas his family does.

5:54.4

Yeah yeah but they when they moved they thought Beaumont would be better for them as a black family than Louisiana and it didn't work out that way he said that he he he found what he called

6:10.4

the other justice down there that was a little bit different he says quote I know all about them Jim Crow laws I know the separate but equal stuff I know about separate water fountains riding the back of the bus and entering the real

6:24.4

rear of the store I've seen those colored only in white only signs hanging over the restrooms I was confused as a kid as to why they were there but through it all I really can't say that I'm angry which is just not mad it's so strange he says that

6:38.4

in he said I'm not the only person ever go through it so I'm not going to be angry about it and it's a very it's a very older school it's a fascinating way of looking at things it's old school it's it's not not that that's a good way I'm just saying like that was like that's kind of the way a lot of people thought back then it was everybody's going through it doesn't make it right that's the thing yeah but it's very strange he says quote I can see why Caucasians acted the way they did and still do.

7:07.4
