Making A Murderer - "Irish" Tommy Eaglin - Part 1

Author: James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman August 11, 2026 Duration: 2:11:47

This week, we look at a boxer, who may have had the worst childhood in Crime In Sports history. He suffered unmatched abuse by his father, who had also abused his teen mother. He was sent to live with all kinds of different people, while always having his father come back, to abuse him. He finally broke away from this terrible start, to a blossoming boxing career, but that's cut short by getting arrested. For murder. He was accused, and the state decided to go for the death penalty! What will become of his saga, in the next couple of weeks???

 

Be born to a teen mother, who was abused by your father, be hung up by your ankles, while your father punches your face, then unsurprisingly be accused of a strip club parking lot murder with Tommy Eaglin - Part 1!!

 

Check us out, every Tuesday!

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

Ever wonder what happens when the final whistle blows and the real trouble begins? Crime in Sports digs into the bizarre, shocking, and often downright stupid criminal misadventures of professional athletes. Hosts James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman, both working comedians, serve as your guides through this strange intersection of stadiums and courtrooms. They do the heavy lifting, sifting through court documents and bizarre headlines so you don't have to. Each episode focuses on a different sports figure who fumbled their legacy not on the field, but in the eyes of the law. The tone is less somber true crime and more like a conversation at a bar, where disbelief and laughter are the main reactions to the tales of heists, fights, frauds, and inexplicable decisions that landed these stars in handcuffs. You'll hear the full story, from their rise to fame to their spectacular fall from grace, all delivered with a sharp comedic edge that finds the absurdity without glorifying the crime. This podcast operates on a simple, compelling premise: talent is no shield against terrible life choices. New episodes arrive weekly, offering a fresh dose of schadenfreude and solid research, proving that sometimes the most entertaining games are the ones played out in a courtroom.
