"Wonderful Family Guy" Accused of Spanking Basketball Players Who
Missed Shots in Practice - Drew Sanders,
49, a coach at Tottenville High School in Staten Island, was seen by many in the
community as an upstanding family man and outstanding role model. That is, until
police arrested him over the weekend after an incident at a summer basketball
camp where he allegedly pulled down the pants of a 15-year-old basketball player
and slapped him on the behind with a wooden paddle. Why? Because he missed a
shot at practice. And this apparently isn't the first time Coach Sanders has
used negative reinforcement: according to another player who also claims to have
been paddled, the 6'6" 250 lb father of three also threw him over his knees
and pulled his pants down while slapping him -- between June and September of
last year, and again between April and July of this year. In all, three boys
have come forward with similar allegations, leaving Staten Island in shock,
according to one spokesperson who added, "He's a wonderful family guy. We
love him. We're hoping that the allegations will prove not to be founded."
Sanders was charged with second-degree attempted assault, fourth-degree criminal
possession of a weapon, 23 counts of forcible touching, 23 counts of
third-degree sexual abuse and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child
and could face four years in prison if convicted. (NY

BadJocks Update: Donna HS Football Hazing
Incident - Grab ass-ing’ a Common Practice - When we first reported the
story of a hazing incident at Donna High School in Texas, it seemed little more
than a simple case of upperclassman "slapping
or striking the genitalia of the freshmen." Now, after the dismissal of
the AD was changed, additional details have come out from the school that paint
an even LESS flattering picture. According to a report by the Texas Education
Agency, under the direction of former athletic director and head football coach
David Evans, female coaches were intimidated, certain athletes were given
preferential treatment, and numerous occasions of "sexual exhibitionist
behavior" and "assault behavior" were never reported to school
authorities or law enforcement. Oh, and the hazing practice that everyone denied
when it was first reported? According to the TEZ, "The practice of
hazing/sexual assault went on for several years." (The

Young Man Robs Little League Concession Stand - This guy was smooth: he
backed up a beaten old car to the Little League concessions stand in Bennington,
Vermont and started stacking the back with candy and chips. When asked what he
was doing, he told several people to stay away from the stand because it had
been sprayed with pesticide and/or was wet from being painted. Witnesses
described the young man as about 18, with shaggy blonde hair with tattoos on
both arms and shoulder area. (Bennington

Strap Camera on Dog's Head to Get Little League Shooter Out of His House - Man in backwoods Michigan town fires several shots near a Little League ballpark

destroys it. So, what do the cops do next? They send in--I'm not making this

Football Player Arrested for Whipping it Out At Fast Food Restaurant
- And we're not talking about his college scholarship offer! 17-year-old Alan
Vonshay Jones, a star wide receiver for the Texas powerhouse football program at
Celina High School, was allegedly with some friends at a local fast food place
when he spotted a car with two teen-aged girls inside. The boys started
harassing the gals and then one of them--reportedly Jones--"approached
the car and . . . proceeded to pull his pants down and rub his penis all over
the car and get off on the car,” according to one of the victims mother.
The girls called police and Jones was booked into the Collin County Jail on
indecent exposure and two felony counts of indecency with a child - exposure.
His status on the Celina football team this fall has not been decided but could
be in jeopardy as a result of his actions. (KTEN)

Photo of the Year? Rugby Streaker Tackled While Talking on His Cell Phone
- At BadJocks, we appreciate the efforts that streakers put into their role in
sports. To provide that brief bit of unexpected excitement during an otherwise
boring game--especially soccer--is truly an art form. Our latest story comes to
us from New Zealand where a young man streaked during a rugby match between the
British and Irish Lions and Manawatu. The unique twist this bloke gave to his
dash-in-the-nude was that he was talking on his cell phone at the time.
Better yet, an alert photographer caught him talking just as he was tackled by a
member of the security staff, creating this memorable image. (And kudos to the
security guard for maintaining good form in an otherwise unpleasant duty.) For
you rugby nuts, British and Irish Lions ended up walloping Manawatu 109-6 in the
eighth match of their rugby tour of New Zealand on Tuesday. (AP)

Zamboni Driver Arrested for DUI - This is a first for
BadJocks. Of course, we've seen a variety of drunk driving arrests, including
one last week for a guy on a golf cart. But we've never heard of someone
arrested for DUI on a zamboni! According to our friends at TheSmokingGun.com,
John Peragallo, 63 was nailed Sunday for the alleged boozed-up operation of the
ice cleaning machine at the Mennen Sports Arena. Apparently, another employee
called police after watching Peragallo's reckless operation of the Zamboni,
which careened around the ice and nearly smashed into the rink's boards.
Peragallo was charged with a misdemeanor drunk driving charge after twice
blowing a .12 on a breath test. Not bad, but certainly not good enough to make
the BadJocks BAC Rankings. (He'd need to double his efforts.) Read
the complete police report here. (Thanks to Dan Luka for the link!)

series of 60-second fights--without hockey sticks--until a winner is declared
based on a points system as well as crowd response. (CTV)

Coach Sex Scandal #75 Update: Coach Told 14-Year-Old Girls That He Had Illness
and That--Surprise!--Sex With Them Would Make Him Better - In an update from
a story we first reported in April, 28-year-old Lidio Castrejon Jimenez, auto
mechanic and part time girls soccer coach, will stand trial on 12 counts of
child molestation. According to court reports, Jimenez allegedly pressured two
players into having sex with him with tall tales of an illness. According to one
of the victims (who had sex with her coach like clockwork every Tuesday and
Thursday for months) Jimenez told her his family was cursed, that the spell
killed his brother, and that unless she slept with him, he would die and her
mother could be hurt. More specifically, the "curse" caused Jimenez to
spit up blood, cry bloody tears and have sharp pains in his lower back. Not satisfied
with just the "I'm Dying" sympathy, he also told the 13-to-15-year
olds that he was also "possessed by a guardian angel named 'Antonio,' who
could move objects without touching them and could read their minds." Of
course it was "Antonio" who instructed the girl to have sex with the
coach through hand-written letters left in their homes. Jimenez also allegedly
showed the victim an amulet filled with red liquid, which he claimed was his
life essence and if it dwindled, he would die. The good news was that if she had
sex with him, the vial would slowly refill itself, The second victim only
claimed she had sex three times in Jimenez' car in a parking lot. At right,
Lidio Castrejon Jimenez mug shot. (SignOnSanDiego)
Australian
Cricket Star Strips Naked, Begs College Girl for Sex - Our favorite cricket
star, Shane Warne, is at it again. In the past BadJocks has reported on the
numerous flings and other gambling incidents the married Australian cricket
player has been involved in. This time though, his indiscretion while in the
United Kingdom for a match has cost him his marriage. According to an English
college student Laura Sayers, 25, Warne stripped naked in front of her before
begging for sex. This happened after returning to his hotel room after a night
of drinking. According to Sayers, Warne kept asking her for sex (including a
request to be in a non-golfing foursome) and eventually called to her from the
bedroom. When she walked in he had stripped naked and, according to her, was
begging her for sex. Eventually she gave in but was not impressed with his
performance, adding a stinging, "He's a bit chubby, but he's quite fit.
It was all over very quickly and he wasn't very well-endowed. He just wanted to
get laid. As soon as it was over, he fell asleep snoring and didn't wake
up." Shortly thereafter word of the incident got out and now Warne's
wife is asking for a divorce. (Sunday

Rugby Player Banned For Two Months for Biting
- We've come to expect the unexpected from UK rugby players and British and
Irish Lions player Danny Grewcock was no exception. Grewcock was in a game
against New Zealand only six minutes before he was sent off for biting Keven
Mealamu's hand. After interviewing players and watching game films a tribunal
decided to ban him two months for the incident. My favorite part of their ruling
reads, "The judicial officer accepted that Mealamu's fingers inadvertently
entered Grewcock's mouth at the breakdown but rather than removing the
fingers in a more conventional way, Grewcock bit Mealamu's right ring finger
and accordingly he found that the player was guilty of biting." (Winnipeg

Update: HS Coach Sex Scandal #36 - Wrestling Coach Allegedly Used Bizarre Hazing
Techniques to Sexually Assault Team - What started out earlier this year as
a simple case of a wrestling coach sexually
assaulting a male student three years ago has turned into one of the more
bizarre cases we've ever profiled. According to prosecutors, Everett Bower, 32,
a chemistry teacher and wrestling coach at Savio Preparatory High School in Massachusetts
allegedly used his position to molest the six teenaged boys INSIDE the school
building during the 2003-2004 academic year. Authorities say Bower recruited a
group of boys he referred to as his ''disciples in training" then hit them
students with a chemistry textbook or a wooden paddle and had them engage in sex
acts during what were described by the victims as hazing rituals. And it wasn't
just a single incident: the boys allegedly endured months of humiliation and
sexual acts--including rape--on school grounds and continued paddlings with
chemistry books, all at the hands of their wrestling coach. Why didn't someone
tell on him sooner? According to Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley,
''The six victims in this case for many months felt unable to break free from
Bower's abuse because of what they described as his physical and emotional
dominance over them and his threats implying harm if they told anyone what was
happening." Bower was indicted Thursday on five counts of rape, six counts
of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and six counts of violating the
state's hazing law. At right, a picture of Bower reacting to the charges in
court. (Boston
