Hello everybody and welcome back to Crime and Sports. My name is James Petrogallo. I'm here.

Jimmy Wiseman. As always with Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you so much for joining us guys. Hope you've enjoyed recent episodes. Sally McNeil last week.

She was a blast. Oh, wasn't she just a dream girl? She's what they would 50 songs are made of. You know what I mean? Like a 1950s love song. That's what they're thinking about.

Nice girl like Sally. Take her home to mom. You know what I mean? She's the one. So before we get started on this week's.

I just want to please one more time. Please please rate review on iTunes. Do that five stars if you could if you if you feel that way.

The excellent. Say something nice. It helps out a lot with the ratings and all that sort of thing. So please do that.

Otherwise, let's get out with the show. Let's do this. We have tonight back into the big three if you will. Yeah.

This is Paul football basketball to the NBA tonight for a gentleman named fast Eddie Johnson. Now I have to right away right away.

I have to make sure that we put the fast. It is so key because not only is it act and perfect for him, but also it differentiates himself.

And the one that keeps themselves clean and live a good life. Like the super intended of the Chicago Police department, Eddie Johnson, the former major league soccer player, Eddie Johnson, a Cleveland Browns linebacker from 1981 to 1990, Eddie Johnson, Eddie Johnson, M.D.

The back specialist in Shreveport, Louisiana, the Democratic congressman, Eddie Johnson, the second term delegate for the North Carolina Port Council board.

There's a court council. What would you say? It's a port council. Like pigs like pigs. There's a fucking port council. I have to mention that, but there's a head of it and it's very delicate. And Eddie Johnson don't and also, of course, the most confused of all the other NBA.

I mean, Edward and Johnson are two popular names, but these two they get their careers over that. We'll get into that later because that will come up big time.

This poor son of a bitch, but okay, let's get into this Eddie Johnson. Fast Eddie Johnson as he is known throughout the land. Let's see, fast Eddie Johnson. He was born Edward Lee Johnson Jr.

A nice junior. You want to this guy you want to carry your name on here carry on that legacy. He's born. I it February 24th, 1955 in O'Cala, Florida. All right.

Family moves to a very, very small town called Wearsdale, Florida. Oh boy. Population 250. Oh boy. All orange groves and watermelon fields. So I mean, this is like, this is what this is during the 60s. This is when blacks were Mexicans.

And so this is then that's this time. I've never heard that in my life and that might be the funniest thing I've ever heard. They lived and so yeah, they live by the fields.

They live in like a little like Cinder Blockhouse. All right. Eddie makes a makes a makeshift hoop outside. This is first hoop that he shoots on. His father was a laborer that worked picking oranges and watermelon fields carry on that legacy.

Yeah, yeah, worked six days a week at the father and he said his father would one day a week as he put it. There's a quote later on, but his father would say I wouldn't call it a drinking problem is what he said.

He worked hard in the field for six days. Then one day a week he'd celebrate under the circumstances. I can't blame him for the way I would say he's just trying to kill the fucking pain. Yeah, I'm toiling in a field.

His body probably hurts like a son of a bitch after six days of picking shit bad. Yeah, it's tough to be Mexican. So he he's the oldest of five children. Uh-huh. His brother Frank. You might know Frank Johnson also an NBA player was the coach of the Phoenix Suns.
