Our Editor's Take
Behind the headlines, the world of sport is full of mysteries. The Sneak pulls back the curtain on true crime stories that involve sports and athletes. The history of sports is full of tales of the triumphs of international icons. But for every glowing success story, there are countless broken dreams. Hopes turn to nightmares that lead athletes down some questionable paths. Hosted by Nate Scott (from For The Win), The Sneak is perfect for podcast binges.
The Sneak dives deep into the tragic tale of college football hero Anthony Curcio. The athlete made international headlines when authorities accused him of bank robbery. The attention only increased when Curcio told his story. Of course, there was more to it than met the eye. The incredible truth could not remain hidden forever. The tale of one of history's most planned bank heists was even more shocking than first assumed.
Another shocking tale that the show examines is the story of world-champion surfer Jack Roland Murphy. Murphy pulled off one of the biggest jewel heists in U.S. history. But his luck ran out when he got caught up in a murder investigation. And then there's the disappearance of Mario Rossi. This case blew the lid off a NASCAR drug-smuggling ring. What became of the Rossi family? Listeners' jaws will hit the floor when they hear the unbelievable story.
Sports is a world of heroes. But not everyone can reach the top of the game. And no one can stay there forever. When talent fades, desperation sometimes sneaks in. Many sports figures have found second careers in crime. The Sneak details these falls from grace in exhaustive detail. The Sneak podcast is an absolute must for sports and true crime fans worldwide. Sport and true crime are closer than they first might seem.
