Must See TV: the Michael Irvin Arrest Video - Have you seen it yet? Texas police have released video from the dashboard camera of the police car that stopped former NFL star Michael Irvin last week. Okay, so it's not as compelling as an episode of "Friends" but it's no "Joey." The plot is predictable (former pro athlete runs afoul of the law) but the dialogue is well written, especially the banter between Irvin and the cop which starts with the officer saying, "I thought you looked familiar," but it goes quickly downhill from there as the officer announces that, "I've got some bad news for you," then ads "You have some warrants out for your arrest." The search of the car follows that, and well, you know the rest. (NBC5i - Link includes photo stills and video clip.)

Soccer Coach Suspended for Head Butting Rival Player During Game - Head butts are not unusual in soccer, except maybe between players and coaches. This week, the coach for the German Duisburg soccer team was suspended indefinitely for head-butting an opposing player dring a heated a 1-1 draw with Cologne on Tuesday. Coach Norbert Meier argued with and Cologne's Albert Streit and then suddenly both men fell to the ground. Slow motion replay showed the Meier actually head-butted the player and as a result, the coach was suspended indefinitely. At left, what it looks like when two grown men put their heads together.

How to Dress Slutty for a Televised College Football Game, Part 2 - Last week we linked to a Texas A&M fan website that reviewed the complexity of dressing for college football games to get the attention of middle-aged TV cameramen. Now our friends at DeadSpin.com have found a whole boatload of pictures of our cover girl for the spread, a young lady named Jenn who is apparently a star around the FSU campus, has posted a bunch of pictures of herself barely clothed at the website FaceBook.com. (May not be safe for work.) If you can't learn everything you need to know about dressing trashy in public from these pictures, you're not looking closely enough.

Boozing UK Soccer Coach Punches Photog After Attending Fundraiser for Rehab Clinic - Okay, it probably didn't help that British soccer star Paul Gascoigne had also just been fired as coach for the Kettering Town team. Cops in Police in Liverpool, England, arrested Gascoigne, 38, after an incident in which he reportedly punched a photographer following a fund-raiser for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Why is this on BadJocks? Earlier in the day Gascoigne was fired for what team owners said were 37 separate, alcohol related incidents in Gascoigne's 39 days as soccer team manager! Why do you think he was sober those two days? (New Kerala)

New Zealand Cricket Fans Put on a Show During Loss to Australia - So much for the Kiwis being gentle, quiet people: During Australia's 147-run win over New Zealand in the first day-night cricket match at Eden Park last weekend, the security staff was working overtime. Play was stopped at least four times so security staff could remove a streaker, four other fans who ran out onto the field and for a brief period of time Australian fielders were pelted with fruit and plastic beer bottles. New Zealand officials think it might be time to review its security plan. (TV NZ)

NFL Cheerleader Lesbian Sex Bar Fight Update: The Lawsuits are Starting! We just love repeating that headline! As you'll recall from a few weeks back, two former cheerleaders for the NFL's Carolina Panthers were arrested in a bar in Tampa, Florida for allegedly getting into a fight with another female patron after the pair took an incredibly long time in the bathroom. The patrons claim the two were having sex (both TopCats deny that) and that when they finally got out, one of them, Victoria Renee Thomas (mug shot left, to the right is "friend" Angela E. Keathley) allegedly punched a complaining female patron. Well, that patron, 26-year-old Melissa Holden, has now sued Thomas claiming the blonde maliciously assaulted her and she wants more than $15,000 for her injuries. (Tampa Bay's 10)

Ric Flair in More Trouble: Wife Makes Nasty Accusations in Divorce Filing, IRS Wants to Know Where Their Money Is - It has not been a good couple of weeks for the pro wrestler: last week the Nature Boy surrendered to North Carolina cops because of an alleged Thanksgiving Weekend road rage incident. Turns out, that could be the highlight of his holidays! In the past year the IRS has started to garnish his wages from the WWE (he's supposed to make $500,000 this year) for more than $1 million they claim he owes dating back to 1997. His wife of 22 years, Elizabeth, flied for divorce accusing Flair of "cruel behavior" claiming he slapped, kicked, choked, threw, bit and spit on her and pulled her hair. On top of that, her complaint, filed in May, also accused Flair of abusing alcohol and steroids, which caused him to become "enraged, paranoid, emotionally unbalanced and violent," and on at least one occasion she says he exposed himself to her friends and committed adultery. Despite the garnishment of his wages, a judge has ordered Flair to pay pay Elizabeth $20,000 a month until the case is settled, based on their previous living expenses.(Charlotte Observer)

#170! Dance Team Coach/Crossing Guard Uses “Incredibly Bad Judgment” Holding Sexually Themed Party for Underage Girls - Mark this one as a "Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time" story: a part time dance team coach (and crossing guard) at Mitchell High School in Colorado Springs thought it would be a good idea to invite about 10 girls (including her own daughter), ages 14 to 16, to a slumber party at her home earlier this year with the theme "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" (based on the lame Kate Hudson movie.) Sound innocent? It must have to Marsha Ann Williams, 45, including that part in the film where Hudson's love interest, Matthew McConaughey, names his penis. So, to celebrate that, Williams purchased decorations and party favors shaped like penises and also had a cake in the shape of male genitalia. How festive! The whole thing would have remained a joke for the squad except that one parent contacted the school after seeing photos of some of the girls performing simulated sex acts on the party favors. And, while the cops thought the pictures were child pornography, local prosecutors disagreed, adding that the girls at the party all said Williams didn’t take any of the photos, wasn’t in the room when they were taken, and all the girls were fully clothed. And ultimately, while the phallic shaped party favors may not be everyone's taste, they are apprently legal for underage girls to buy. Still, despite the fact that the DA refused to press charges saying only that Williams exercised “incredibly bad judgment” but did not break the law, she has since lost both her coaching and crossing guard positions.

How to Dress Sexy for a College Football Game - You've all seem them on TV every Saturday: the young ladies who attend college football games (especially early in the season when it's warmer) who seem to know just how to dress to get the attention of middle-aged TV cameramen. What's their secret? Well, a website created by several hard working Texas A&M students has done a scholarly study (with helpful pictures like the one at right) that shows step-by-step how it's done, including tanning tips, how to use scissors to customize your wardrobe, and how to show off your most important assets AND the school name at the same time. Wow! And you thought dressing like a slut was easy! At BadJocks, we are glad to bring you this important Public Service Announcement, fulfilling our FCC obligation for the year. Enjoy! (Aggieland Unplugged) Link includes a not quite safe for work picture of a K-State fan who makes maximum use of body paint, if you know what we mean.

Vikings "Love Boat" Sex Scandal Update: Prosecutor Finally Gets Case, No Felony Charges Expected! Nearly two months since dozens of Minnesota Vikings football players and their "friends" set foot on a couple of cruise boats owned by Al and Alma's, the prosecutor for the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District finally gets the case. Steve Tallen says he hopes to decide within two weeks whether misdemeanor charges should be brought against members. After about six weeks of investigation, the Hennepin County sheriff's department determined felony charges were not warranted. So, what ever happened to Federal charges for violating The Mann Act? No announcement has been ever been made and the FBI office in Minneapolis never responded to our inquiry. Apparently, if you're a wealthy pro athlete you can bring women across state lines for a "little fun." Let the parties begin! (CBS Sportsline)

HS Football Playoff Hysteria - In some parts of the country, high school football and the madness that goes along with it in some communities is over for the season. In other places the state championships are just heating up, while in others they are waiting for a judge to tell them when to play. Read on.
HS Playoff Game Held Up by Lawsuit From Suspended QB - In some parts of the country, high school football and the madness that goes along with it in some communities is over for the season. In other places the state championships are just heating up, while in others they are waiting for a judge to tell them when to play. Read on.
HS Playoff Game Held Up by Lawsuit From Suspended QB - Now before you jump to the conclusion that some overzealous parent brought the legal system into prep sports, listen to this whole story: The Oklahoma Class 5A playoffs are on hold until the state's Supreme Court reviews film of a high school playoff game. Why? They have to determine if the quarterback for Shawnee, Tucker Brown, should be suspended for two games kicking an opposing player. Seems simple enough, except that before Brown did the kicking, he was trying to take a knee with 19 seconds left to run out the clock while leading 14-10 against Tulsa Washington when an opposing player grabbed his helmet and threw him to the ground. Would that provoke you to kick someone? Regardless of the provocation, that act violated the state high school association anti-fighting rule and resulted in a two game suspension . . . during the playoffs. So, Brown's mom quickly filed filed an injunction (dad couldn't because he's the coach) that is keeping the Shawnee-East Central Class 5-A state semifinal game from being played until the court rules on her son's suspension. It's likely the game will not get played until December 10. Oklahoma's governor, Brad Henry, a graduate of Shawnee, weighed in on the controversy, saying a court fight could have been avoided by some "reasonable officiating." (KFOR)

HS Coach Only Suspended After Being Caught on Tape Moving Down Marker During Game - Anything to win? You get the sense that it's okay at San Pedro High School in California, just listen to one of the players who just found out his coach cheated: "We're still league champions," said Joey Padilla, a SPHS football player. "It ain't nothing. We would have had that first down, no matter what. Besides what the coach did, or whatever, he just wanted us to win." Actually, Joey, if you watch the video, you'll see that you wouldn't have gotten the first down if assistant coach Paul "Don't Call Me Bear" Bryan hadn't moved the first down marker back on your team's fourth and final attempt to make a first down against Gardena High School during the Oct. 28 game. As a result of the cheating, officials gave SPHS a first down and the team went on to score a touchdown. This brazen act just came to light after another school who videotaped the game as a scouting tool turned the evidence over to SPHS Principal Diana Gelb who promptly . . . suspended Bryan for one year but let him stay at the school as a teaching assistant. Suspended and not fired? And she didn't forfeit the game or the resulting championship? Yeah, that sends a clear message to the kids Ms. Gelb. In his defense, Bryan told a local newspaper, "It happened, I wish it hadn't happened. It was stupid." And if you watch the clip and look at the stills, this clearly wasn't an "oops, I bumped the marker s a few inches" situation. You can clearly see Bryan squatting down next to the marker as the play starts, then as officials rush to mark the ball he stands up and picks the marker up with him, moving it several feet back . . . virtually guaranteeing the first down.
