Is that blood or mom's spaghetti? It's spooky season and we are embracing the scary on Basic Sports. In honor of Halloween this week, we are bringing you true crime, sports edition, joined by returning special guest Regan for her second guest appearance! We dive into three different cases related to sports and athletes this week, looking at true crime from a sports angle.

*Warning: This episode does discuss murder, abuse and gambling. Please skip this week if you need to, we will be back to regularly scheduled programming next week.

As listeners of true crime, we gained a newfound respect for true crime podcasters, we learned how hard it is to tell these stories cleanly, succinctly and with the right information. Join us as we cover Operation Flagrant Foul along with the murders of Lorenzen Wright and Steve McNair. We summarize these cases in this episode but below are links to the documentaries and articles we referenced to tell their stories, check them out for more information and to see the full, professional versions:
