We have a treat for you today, dear listeners. Our first athlete, Charles "Sonny" Liston. Now you might be saying, "An athlete? They aren't that violent." And to that I say Ray Lewis, Ray Rice, Rae Carruth, OJ Simpson, and Kareem Hunt. But also this guy was a boxer and mob affiliated leg breaker. So he was plenty violent enough for our needs. Also he was a part of a huge historical moment, and died under mysterious circumstances. Plenty to ponder when it comes to the life of this dude. Enjoy!
