Marcus Vick Crime Spree Continues: 17-Year-Old Girl Files Lawsuit, Claims Michael's Younger Brother Told Her He Loved Her, Wanted Her to Be His Baby's Mommy - Remember when Marcus got arrested for that thing? No, the other thing. No, not that one, the one with the underage girls and the booze and the stripping in a dorm room at Virginia Tech back in 2004? At first that one looked like a career-ender, didn't it? But then a few months later the whole thing got cleared up when he plead guilty to three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor? Well, turns out that one of the "minors" involved in that incident (who screwed things up for the prosecution back then by pleading the Fifth and refusing to testify) now is suing Marcus--who plays for the Miami Dolphins--for a reported $6.3 million accusing him of sexual battery upon a minor, fraud and other charges. She's 17 now and was only--yikes!--15 at the time of their relationship which she says started in January 2004 and didn't end until he left V-Tech in December of last year. The girl--who, despite the apparent stupidity of her acts, claims to be a high school honor student--says that Marcus told he loved her, wanted her to have his child and kindly explained that having a sexual relationship with someone her age was "acceptable." You'd think an honors student would be able to look that law up on the Internet these days? Anyway, she claims emotional distress and wants a load of cash. Stay tuned. (USA Today) 

Headline of the Week: HS Basketball Coach Quits After 5th DUI Arrest - But he will stay on at the school as their gym teacher and soccer coach. Huh? (The Boston Channel)

Tank Johnson of the Bengals . . . Oops, We Mean Bears . . . Arrested for Having Excessive Firepower at Home - (Sorry, it seems anytime someone from the NFL gets arrested these days he's usually from Cincinnati.) Apparently the State of Illinois requires that anyone who owns a firearm has to have a permit for it. And, apparently, the Chicago Bears starting defensive tackle Terry "Tank" Johnson has six guns in his home . . . or at least he did until local police raided the place yesterday because he didn't have the proper permits. Not having the permit is a misdemeanor charge that carries a potential penalty of up to a year in jail. Johnson turned himself into police yesterday, posted bond and was released and neither the team nor the NFL has issued a statement about whether this will affect his ability to play Sunday.

Gym Teacher Sued for Teaching Students to Play Soccer - A lot of American sports fans are probably not surprised to hear this story, but for the wrong reason. No, he wasn't sued because soccer's boring to watch. You see, a gym teacher in Niteroi, Brazil decided to teach his students to play football (soccer in the US). No big deal, right? Well, according to local police, they're not very good. In fact, the balls they kick often end up in a nearby parking lot . . . and damage cars . . . belonging to the police. So, what else are the cops supposed to do but sue the gym teacher? A spokesman for the school defended their coach, saying, "This is ridiculous - they are a bunch of old, frustrated policemen who can't stand the vitality of our students!" Take that! The police disagree claiming that: "It is obvious these kids can't play football; they are hopeless! They are constantly jumping our wall to catch the balls. If they were good they wouldn't need to do that - they would be scoring goals!" Sounds like the making of a great movie in the tradition of "the Mighty Ducks" where a team of losers takes on the big, bad cops and somehow manage to win the big game. Or not. (All Headline News)

Duke Lacrosse Oops! Update: DNA Tests Show Accuser Did Have Sex, But Not With Players - At first, the stripper who accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape reportedly told cops she hadn't had sexual relations with anyone for several days before the alleged incident. She also claimed her assailants didn't wear condoms. Now comes word from the player's defense attorneys that while there was male DNA taken from the victim, none of it belongs to any of the accused.  So far, no response from the prosecutor, but this case is unraveling faster than a Allen Iverson trade deal.

English Soccer Fans Banned for Three Years for "Trojan Horse" Stunt - European soccer fans have always had a warm place in our hearts because of their passion for the game. Take for example, two Bolton Wanderers fans were involved in unfurling a club banner during a game against the Blackburn Rovers during a recent game. What's the big deal you say? Well, apparently the Bolton guys waiting until late in the match and put on a Rovers hat they had purchased to make their way in front of the cheering Blackburn crowd, where they promptly unfolded their pro-Wanderers banner, causing a near-riot among the hometown fans. For provoking that reaction, they were arrested for "using threatening behavior" and received a suspended 18 month jail sentence, but have been banned from attending any soccer games for three years.

N.C. State Fires Head Diving Coach for . . . Not Paying Taxes? - Over the years we've heard a lot of different reasons for firing a coach. But not paying your taxes? As it turns out, in the case of N.C. State diving coach Michael Finneran, this was apparently more than making an math error on his 1040 or claiming he sent $100 to public television that he really didn't. According to the IRS, the charges against him stem from tax returns Finneran filed from 2002 to 2005, when his primary income came from working as a loan officer. During that time, the coach claims he had zero income, when he was actually making as much as $181,900 a year. I'm not an accountant, but it seems that there might be some taxes on that kind of cheese and, in fact, the IRS claims he failed to pay an estimated $35,800 over that period. (News Observer)

Sneaky Cops Track Down Thousands of Stolen Golf Clubs by Bidding for Them on Ebay - Ever wonder where those people who claim to make a living from Ebay find all those things to sell? Well, for at least one Scottsdale, Arizona couple the answer was allegedly easy: everything was stolen. Police there claim they cracked a huge golf club stealing ring by bidding for them on Ebay, then contacting the sellers who bragged that they had thousands of clubs for sale cheap. So, undercover cops got a search warrant and raided the home which did, in fact, have thousands of reportedly stolen clubs in the garage. (KOLD)

HS Wrestler Charged With 21 Counts of Rape After Teammates Say He Was, Uh, . . . "Too Friendly" With Finger - The community was stunned when star wrestler Jerome Hunt of Parker High School (South Dakota) was arrested on 21 counts of rape and attempted rape. Since the accused and his 6 alleged victims were all minors, their names and details of the case were sealed, leaving townsfolk to assume that this case involved unwanted sex with young ladies. It apparently does not. A new report by KELO TV shows that the victims--so far--were all young men and teammates of Hunt's and the alleged rapes could be nothing more than a common wrestling move which, in the past, we've heard called "the Shocker." (Yes, we know there's another Shocker, but let's not go into that right now boys and girls.) According to the complaint, at least 21 times Hunt placed fellow wrestlers in a hold that then allowed him to put his finger in their rectum. On purpose. In fact, one of Hunt's former assistant coaches reportedly told investigators, "It's not something illegal or not taught. It's being taught all over." All but two of those incidents happened in the Parker High School wrestling room before practice during last year's wrestling season. The other two? On the team bus returning from a match. Apparently someone thought that something like that could happen accidentally 20 times, but when that 21st one comes around, you have to question if the guy might be doing it on purpose. On December 22 a judge will decide if Hunt will be charged in adult court where, if convicted, he could face 25 years in prison for EACH COUNT. (KELO) Thanks to Tony Lyons for the link!

Oh So Close! HS Coach Arrested for Third DUI in Five Years, Just Misses Qualifying for BAC Rankings - Keith Alan Nunley, 27, an Indiana HS baseball coach and gym teacher was arrested for driving while intoxicated back on November 25, marking the third time in the past five years he's been charged with DWI. His breathalyzer this last time was an impressive .22%, almost three times the legal limit, but just short of what's required to make the Top Twenty of BadJocks World Famous BAC Rankings.

Marlins Coach Fired Over Scantily-Clad Cheerleaders? Former Florida Marlins manager Joe Girardi was voted the National League's Manager of the Year after being fired by the club. So why let go such a great coach? The team's not talking, but according to a column by Barry Jackson in the Miami Herald, it might have been over the Marlin's cheerleaders. According to Jackson, Girardi spoke out at a recent Dolphins Touchdown Club luncheon, saying he was uncomfortable with the Marlins' scantily-clad Mermaids who perform at games adding, ''We have a 7-year-old daughter going to the ballpark. I don't want to teach my daughter to dress like that or shake her body like that.'' (Miami Herald)

BadJocks Special Update: The Boys Posed Topless, Why Can't We?
Late last week (see story below) we reported on the girls hockey team at Hjalmar Lundbohmsskolan in Sweden that wanted to be just like the boys team. So when they guys posed for a team photo for the yearbook wearing only protective leg pads, ice skates and nothing else, the girls thought they should do the same. The administration at their school thought otherwise and pulled the picture without telling them, angering the team and prompting claims of discrimination. Well, a BadJocks reader found an online Swedish newspaper that posted the reasonably safe for work picture of the team, along with the story. Which, if you can read Swedish, you might find out more about what's going on. Still, some of the girls look uncomfortable posing and most of them look pretty cold. (Aften Bladet)

BadJocks First? Brazilian Women's Handball League Playoff Game Ends in Brawl - We can't remember ever reporting on violence during a handball game before. Heck, we can't even remember thinking that handball was an actual sport before. Either way, the lesson here is clear: don't mess with female handball players from Brazil . . . as if you already needed to be told that. A recent national championship semifinal had to be abandoned when the ladies used their hands on each other instead of the ball. According to league officials, the first brawl started with about five minutes left in the game when two players began arguing about a foul. Several other plays joined in and when it was all over six of them were sent to the penalty box. (They have a penalty box in professional handball?) That wasn't enough to cool these South American wildcats though, as a second more serious fight broke out moments that started a massive brawl involving most of the players on both teams and officials who all traded punches and kicks. (I didn't think you were allowed to use your feet in handball?) Things got so out of hand officials stopped the game at that point and refused to continue. (MSNBC)

#185! Ohio HS teacher/coach called in sick last Thursday and then drove about 80 miles to have sex with a 14-year-old girl he met on the Internet . . . except that the person he had been chatting with online almost every day for a month was really a police detective. (Toledo Blade)

Not Again! Florida HS Football Star Arrested Before Championship Game, Allowed to Play Anyway - Miami Northwestern's Antwain Easterling, was arrested on Thursday on charges he--and two other young men--had consensual sex with a 14-year-old girl. On Friday he was out on bail with his mother pleading with school officials to let him play in the Florida 6A state championship game on Saturday. Not surprisingly, Easterling ended up playing in the game that Northwestern won handily over Altamonte Springs Lake Brantley 34-14 behind the senior runningback's 157 yards rushing. If this all sounds familiar, we had a story just last week out of Florida of another football star who told a reporter he was being given all sorts of free goodies in violation of high school rules. Later his lawyer claimed he was joking and that young man was also allowed to play. (Miami Herald)

Eighth Bengal Arrested This Season! Talk about going for the record: Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Deltha O’Neal was arrested for driving while intoxicated over the weekend after being stopped police. For once, a pro athlete agreed to a breath test, but O'Neal was no where making our BAC Rankings, blowing a .10%, which is still above Ohio’s legal limit of 0.08. (MSNBC)

Denied! Swedish Girls Hockey Team Not Allowed to Pose Topless in Yearbook Team Photo - The girls hockey team at Hjalmar Lundbohmsskolan in Sweden wanted to be just like the boys team. So when they guys posed for a team photo for the yearbook wearing only protective leg pads, ice skates and nothing else, the girls thought they should do the same. The only difference? They crossed their arms to cover their breasts to provide for at least a modicum of modesty to what they thought would be something a bit fun for the yearbook. Surprisingly, school administrators didn't see it that way and pulled the picture at the last minute without telling anyone. So the girls on the team where upset when they got their books and couldn't find the picture. In fact, they're protesting, claiming that their right to pose topless was violated and since the boys were allowed to do it, they're being discriminated against. At this point, they are asking for an apology from the faculty . . . for not allowing them to be topless in the yearbook. (The Local) Thanks to Fark.com for the link!
