Stupid HS Streaker Arrested Before He Can Collect $20 Bet - Boys and girls, let your old Uncle Bob share a little hard-earned wisdom with you: if you're going to streak a high school sporting event to win a bet, be sure to collect the money BEFORE you run naked across the field . . . even if you have to keep it in your mouth. Otherwise, you might end of like Graham Weiner (yep, that's his real name), a junior at Fairfield Warde High School, who was offered $20 to run naked during a recent baseball game against Ludlow High School. According to police Weiner ran from the third-base dugout to the first-base dugout naked and was promptly arrested . . . before he could collect his winnings. Weiner was charged with breach of peace and released after posting a $500 bond. (Connecticut Post)

Brawl Follows 5th Grade Girls Baseball Game - Once again, we have to ask if the post-game tradition of shaking hands has outlived its usefulness, especially when so often it seems to result in post-game brawls. Like this one in Ohio between two fifth grade girl's baseball teams, Cincinnati Warriors and Lady Champions. The story doesn't say what may have prompted the dispute, but it's likely the result of some bad blood over the use of overage players, something the Sports Plus league accuses BOTH teams of doing. Either way, the post-game handshake ended in a brawl that appears to have not only involved the young female players but also several adults as well. Said one young girl who plans on filing charges, "I got hit by a man in the face, two women in the back of the head. I was calling for someone to call the cops." (Channel Cincinnati)

British Politician Defends Country's Honor During Charity Soccer Game by Tackling Opposing Player From Germany in Groin . . . With His Head? - You've got to see this video! Soccer players do all sorts of bad things to each other, but we haven't seen this particular technique before. Boris Johnson, a 42-year-old member of Britain's Parliament was playing in a charity soccer game against Germany and seems to have gotten just a little carried away. As the German player in white starts running with the ball, Johnson quickly closes in and dives head-first into the guy, nailing him right in the groin. Johnson--apparently unharmed after using a unneeded part of his body--gets up after the collision as his counterpart writhes on the ground. When asked about his unique form afterwards,  Johnson said, "I'm a rugby player, really, and I knew I was going to get to him, and when he was about two yards away I just put my head down. There was no malice. I was going for the ball with my head, which I understand is a legitimate move in soccer." (Scotsman.com) Watch the video below and decide for yourself. Either way, are you going to oppose him on an important vote in the future?

T-Ball Lawsuit: Man Comes Out of Stands to Attack Coach - It's that time of year again when the flowers--and youth baseball lawsuits--are in bloom. Take for instance a T-ball game in Dibble, Oklahoma. According to a lawsuit filed by Coach Chance Lee Kendall while he was arguing a call with an opposing coach during a game, that man's father came out of the stands and attacked Kendall by pushing him from the back. Because the alleged attack took place in front of his wife and young son, Kendall seeks $10,000 in damages for his mental and physical pain and suffering. (Norman Transcript)

School Board Hands HS Baseball Coach Two Year Suspension for Hazing Incident, But Parents Still Back Him - Baseball coach Steve Pritchard of Nitro High School in West Virginia was not present in the locker room at a team sleepover on March 3 when an alleged hazing incident took place, but it's now cost him his job. According to reports, four upperclassmen allegedly tied up two freshmen teammates and "flicked" them in the groin . . . although how hard they were struck seems to be a matter of opinion. Then, for good measure the players also allegedly tied another freshman to a chair and pushed him under a running shower. Pritchard was in his office at the time, but school officials must have felt he should have been watching the boys more closely and have suspended him for two years. Despite what happened many parents of baseball players still feel Pritchard was the best thing to happen to their sons. (Daily Mail)

" . . . And This One Time, At Band Camp . . . We Got Caught Hazing Some Freshman And It Cost the School District $50,000!" It's hard to put a price tag on teenaged fun, but apparently luring freshman out of their rooms during marching band camp, duct-taping their wrists and ankles and doing “sexual dances” in front of their faces will only set you back 50 large. Actually, according to the Scottsdale Unified School District (which oversees Coronado High School where the band geeks were from) the charge to settle the lawsuit related to the incident was much higher but $50,000 was the amount of their deductible, so that's all they were on the hook directly for.

#69! Teacher/Coach/Pro Wrestler Tries to Put HS Girl "To Sleep" - This story is making national headlines . . . and for good reason. While we frequently report on HS coaches having sex with underage students, we can't recall another incident where attempted murder was also involved. The story starts last Thursday when Ashley Reeves, 17, was reported missing following a job interview. Police found the Jeep she was driving eight hours later in Citizens Park in the St. Louis suburb of Belleville, Ill, but no sigh of Ashley. A frantic search of the area using dogs and helicopters (hopefully humans were at the controls) turned up nothing and a second nightfall didn't help their efforts. Police eventually started talking to an "acquaintance" of Ashley's 26-year-old assistant baseball coach, teacher and wannabe pro-wrestler named--we're not making this up!--Samson Shelton. We're not sure how they found him or what they said to convince him to confess, but more than 30 hours after she disappeared, Shelton lead police to a desolate spot of Citizens Park where they found what they thought was Ashley's body . . . until she started to breath. According to police, Shelton is accused of using a wrestling move to try and break the young girl's neck and seemed to indicate that the two had "a relationship." He's jailed on $1 million bond and charged with kidnapping and attempted murder. According to one report, for his wrestling league promotional photograph, Samson R. "Sam" Shelton wore a graduation gown and held an apple. His ring name? "The Teacher." (Washington Post)

NBA Video of the Week: Testicle Pulling Results in $10,000 Fine - In case you were wondering what it would cost to pull on the balls of an NBA player, the answer is $10,000. The League announced yesterday that Denver Nugget forward Reggie Evans will be fined $10,000 and retroactively assessed a flagrant foul following an incident with Clipper center Chris Kaman in Game 4. Kaman insists he told referees that Evans grabbed his testicles and "pulled hard," and then repeated his account in an interview with the NBA. For his part, Evans disputes Kaman's version of the events insisting he never touched the 7-foot center's testicles. However, TV replays seemed to show Evans reaching under Kaman's shorts while the two battled for a rebound. (LA Times) Watch it for yourself below.

Holy Crap! Golfer John Daly Says He Burned Through $60 Million Gambling - Golfer John Daly was never known for his restraint. Do you really wonder about the will power of an athlete who can't put a cigarette down while he competes? In his new autobiography, "John Daly: My Life In and Out of the Rough," the chain smoking, hard drinking pro golfer who never met a buffet he didn't like, describes his least obvious vice: gambling. And we're not talking about Michael Jordan or Pete Rose gambling. This is BIG time money. Daly claims he's lost between $50 million and $60 million over the past 12 years and that it has become a problem that could "flat-out ruin me" if he doesn't find a way to get it under control. Could ruin you John? We think that ship already sailed. In one example, Daly claims he earned $750,000 after losing in a playoff to Tiger Woods last fall and promptly drove to Las Vegas where the portly linkster lost $1.65 million in five hours, playing mostly $5,000 slots.

Earlier: Still No Action Over Alleged CMS Softball Hazing Pics - On Monday we published pictures that appear to show members of the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's softball team hazing freshman members of the squad with an impressive variety of alcoholic beverages, including upside down margaritas, shown at right. As of this morning, we still haven't heard if the school is taking any action. The team played their regularly scheduled game on Weds and no official statement has been released by the school on the subject . . . at least not that we've seen. Any alums or parents who wish to contact the school and get an explanation, please let us know what you hear. Click here to see all the pics and judge for yourself.
