Taser Fails to Bring Down Former "Purple People Eater" Carl Eller During DUI Arrest: Beaten Cops Claim He Had "Superhuman Strength" - Anyone who saw the Minnesota's Vikings of the 60s play will remember how tough a bunch their defense, known as the "Purple People Eaters" were. But more than 30 years later, one of the standouts on that time, defensive lineman Carl Eller, now aged 66, can still dish it out . . . and two Minneapolis cops found out the hard way. According to police, Eller's vehicle nearly hit the cops after running a stop sign so, naturally they gave chase. That chase ended at Eller's home where he refused to get out of his car and instead opened the garage door remotely and drove in. Once in the garage he tried to walk into the house, despite attempts by the two officers to get him to surrender. At that point Eller, reportedly attacked the officers with "superhuman" strength, and even a taser hit did not slow him down. EVEN A TASER DID NOT SLOW HIM DOWN. The two cops involved, Gil Antaya and Seth Porras, say they felt like there were "fighting for their lives during the four to five minute altercation' and that the former NFL star threatened to kill them. Officers were only able to subdue Eller after backup arrived and those officers tasered the big guy several mores times. Damn! Eventually he was booked and charged with suspicion of driving while intoxicated, fleeing police and assaulting a police officer. Below, a picture of one of the bruised officers, with what looks like a pretty good knot next to his nose. Eller's mug shot is at right. (KARE - link includes video clips)

Nebraska Football Recruit Arrested Before Even Stepping Foot on Campus - Josh Williams was a prized football recruit out of Denton, Texas and was offered a scholarship to the University of Nebraska. That could all be gone now (although knowing Nebraska, they might just elevate him to first string) after Williams was arrested after allegedly stealing $900 from a man in his home town. But Williams didn't just take the money while the guy was asleep or something. No, according to cops, the 220 lb defensive lineman saw the man sitting in his truck, counting his paycheck money, and walked over and punched him the the face and took the cash. (Husker Extra)

HS Coach Sex Scandal Bonanza, Spring Break Edition: Bolt the Doors & Hide the Small Children and Animals! - For a while in 2008, we were averaging one high school coach sex scandal a day. That pace has dropped off recently, but what we found over the weekend really jumps our total 10 spots to 94. And not just quantity, but also the quality of some of these stories is up significantly over what has been reported the last month or so. Is the 2008 HS Coach Sex Scandal of the Year among this group?
#94! Shocker! HS Coach Continued Teaching FOR A YEAR After Getting Caught in Sting Operation E-mailing Pictures of His Junk to Someone He Thought Was 14-Year-Old Girl - How does this happen? According to prosecutors, when they arrested Andy Weaver, 28 in March 2007 they did not know he worked with kids, and for some reason Weaver never thought to tell his employers at Brighton High School (Colorado) so he continued to teach and coach at the school for an entire year. Part of the problem is the cops didn't have the resources to go arrest Weaver in the town he lived in, so they didn't pick him up until he was pulled over for a traffic stop and officers noticed the outstanding warrant for his arrest.

#85! You're Doing It Wrong, Dude! Gym Teacher Accused of Putting Teen Girl in Headlock, Fondling Her Breasts - Not sure what kind of coaching clinics teach this motivational technique, but Rohan Lewis, a volunteer coach at James Island Christian School in South Carolina is now in trouble for it. According to the 15-year-old victim, Lewis attacked her in the gym after practice, grabbing her shirt and putting her in a headlock. Once securely there, he allegedly began to fondle her breasts, and groped one of them so hard, that he left a mark on it! Apparently that maneuver went so well that, according to cops, Lewis allegedly thought nothing of calling the girl's cell phone several times and sent her several text messages. How did parents at the school respond to this alleged sexual assault by a staff member. Meh. Said one woman, "We all make mistakes. we do need correction, but we also don't have to humiliate people."

New Addition to the World Famous BadJocks BAC Rankings: Junior College Basketball Player Blows .33% BAC . . . in Women's Underwear! - We used to joke that our Blood Alcohol Content (or BAC) Rankings were "world famous." But not anymore: after Time Magazine voted us one of the Top 25 Blogs, they took time extra effort to point out the "wicked" rankings of some of sports biggest drunks . . . and for good reason. There are usually some great stories attached to that much drinking, and the most recent addition is not exception. This started out as just a long story about how a local apartment complex in Jackson, Michigan (not far from the BadJocks Bunker) bent their rules a few years back and started allowing students from the local community college start renting there. Kind of a as a favor to the coaches on the various athletic teams. Well, it appears that the complex, Alpine Lake Apartments, now regrets that decision and has started evicting mis-behaving jocks from the premises. In large part that's due to a wild party held by members of the JCC baseball team back on March 27 that was promoted on Facebook inviting people to an ``erotic'' party, and described its theme as "involving pajamas and a sex act." When cops finally arrived to bust up the party, they arrested a number of people, including a male JCC basketball player whose BAC was 0.33% and was found, passed out, dressed in nothing more than a pink nightie and thong underwear before being sent to a local hospital to detoxify. Now THAT'S a party! (MLive) Thanks to Brad W. for the great link!

. . . And Another Jock Tasered by Cops! This Time for Getting in Bar Brawl and Spitting Blood on Patrons - We had what, eight of these in all of 2007? Now we're up to 6 already in 2008 and it's not even May yet? Looks like it will be a banner year for this category on the BadJocks Scoreboard. The latest athlete to be "Tasered by Cops" is Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Al Reyes who allegedly got into a fight with another man inside the Hyde Park Café in Tampa. Bouncers tried to step in to break up the fight when the apparently intoxicated Reyes began to spit blood on the people around him and swing his arms about. The bouncers were unable to control the 6'1", 240 pound pitcher and called the cops who say Reyes continued spitting blood at those around him even after they showed up.  At that point the cops says he had no choice but to taser Reyes--not once, but twice!--because the MLB star got up after being knocked to the ground after the first jolt! Reyes was arrested and charged with battery, but is still expected to pitch against the Baltimore Orioles Friday night at 7:10 p.m. at Tropicana Field. Stay tuned. (My Fox Tampa Bay)

#84! Texas HS Spanish Teacher/Cross Country Coach, 27, Arrested for Trying to Marry Girl, 17 - For once, one of these creeps tries to do the right thing and he gets arrested for it. Actually, it's not the marrying part that got him in trouble (it is, however how Ranulfo "Randy" Arias got caught) it was the fact that he and the female student at Akins High School had been dating for more than a month and reportedly had sexual relations BEFORE he decided to marry her and went to apply for a marriage license. Busted! As a employee of the state Arias is not allowed to have that kind of relationship with a student and could get 20 years in prison for the "inappropriate relationship. (News 8 Austin)

More Problems for Penn State Jocks . . . and It's Bigger Than Serial Masturbation This Time - We thought things were bad last week when a PSU basketball player (see below) was arrested at the school's library for allegedly masturbating on a woman who he had earlier tried--and failed--to pick up. As part of that incident, a spokesman for the school had to proclaim that the player "was NOT part of any incidents of serial masturbation." That's good to know and also creeps us out a little bit. Now comes word that a football player at the school is also in trouble for pulling a knife on a teammate over . . . a cell phone cover? Seems that defensive lineman Devon Still accused wide receiver Chris Bell of taking the case for his new cell phone. Bell denied the charge, but then allegedly pulled a knife on Still in the cafeteria yelling, "Come get the case, and I am going to stab you. I have more knives and a gun up here!" Two coaches had to calm Bell down and relieve him of his weapon. You know, even at proud football school like Penn State, that'll get you kicked off the team. Joe Pa cannot be happy about all of this, as the total amount of off-field damage mounts this spring for the Nittany Lions: two fights; underage-drinking citations; a DUI; and a rape accusation..
