Summary

This week, take a peek at a man who had everything a person could want, and couldn't help but throw it away as aggressively as humanly possible. He went from being a first round NFL draft pick, and playing in a super bowl, to being a target of a major FBI drug probe, wandering the streets, setting fires, stealing from his own mother to buy crack, robbing stores that wouldn't even hire him to work the cash register, and generally being an untrustworthy menace to society. It's a winding ride through the downfall of a person with all the unfulfilled potential in the world, and ending in one of the saddest outcomes we've covered. And it couldn't be funnier.Turn down a scholarship to Harvard, free base some cocaine, and head out on a robbing spree with Larry Bethea!! Check us out, every Tuesday. We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!

Hello and welcome back to Crime & Sports. Yay! Yay, Jimmy, I'm telling you. There's so much

0:33.5

you to go around this week. I can't even tell you. It's a glory, glory, hallelujah, kind of

0:39.5

yay, I'm telling you, man, except not religious at all. My name is James Petrigallo, I'm here with my

co-host. I am Jimmy Lissmann. We could not be more excited. Have you

0:48.5

joined in us? Thank you so much. New listeners, welcome aboard. Welcome. It's a

0:52.5

wild one, buckle up. All listeners, you know what we're bringing you. It's going to be a

0:56.5

good time this week. We have so much fun going on. Before we get to this story of

1:01.5

it, complete this guy is like, he's, it's amazing because he's a smart guy. But he's

1:09.5

great. It's take Marvin Barnes as we know Marvin Barnes, the guy who's not getting a

1:13.5

time machine, take Marvin Barnes from episode, I believe, 20-something, take him and

1:18.5

make him really intelligent. Scary, right? Let's see what happens with that. Let's

1:24.5

mix that cocktail and see how we end up with it. It's frightening. He does one of

1:29.5

the one of the shittiest things a person's ever done. Really? Outside of your

1:33.5

Eddie Johnson's and your, you know, raping, raping and molestations.

1:38.5

Ruling and molesting children. Things of that nature. This is sh- as shitty as you can

1:43.5

be pretty much this guy. But it's sad because it didn't have to be that way.

1:47.5

Before we get into it. It's too bad, really. It's a sad tale. And you know that's

1:51.5

every week. It didn't have to be this way. It did not. That's not damn it. That's

1:55.5

what we do. We come from the point of why did this- why did you do this? What? No

purpose. You had it all. Right. And you promptly flushed it directly down the

toilet. And ran as hard the wrong direction as you possibly could. Said all of
