BadJocks Stories From the Week of September 7, 2003 Naughty
Cheerleaders! Not one, but two cheerleader incidents to report today: Something You'd Like to Tell Us, Mr. Bonds? Drug agents and IRS investigators busted down door and searched the home of Barry Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, Friday night, just two days after raiding a "nutritional supplement center" linked to the trainer. Everyone is tightlipped about was they were looking for, but officials removed several items, including computer discs, from the home. So far, no one has said anything about steroids, and we at BadJocks won't either. (Thanks to Thomas E. Mattimoe for the tip on the story!) Luck of the Irish Runs Out? Great grand-nephew of former Miami University and Notre Dame football coaching legend Ara Parseghian arrested for stealing a statue from Ohio campus where he's a kicker on the team. MASCOT
MADNESS #133! Assistant HS football coach accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl at a party in June.
From the "Strange, But True" Files - Southern High School in Stronghurst, IL may be taking its Rebel mascot a little too seriously. Their many traditions, including fans waving Confederate flags during the game, a student leading the team on the field waving the stars and bars banner and a team mascot dressed as a colonel in the Confederate army cost the school a Homecoming game. Their opponent, a Chicago school with no white students has decided to forfeit the game, rather than play against a team that seems to have been pulled straight from the pages of "Gone With the Wind." Yacht Race Ends With Trophy Tossed in Ocean - On the Island of Malta last week grown men with big boats behaved like children after their annual yacht race. A slight "ramming" incident during the last race caused one team to lose and some of their sailors decided the winners would enjoy their championship trophy more if it was at the bottom of the Mediterranean. Both were arrested for their thoughtfulness. Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire - A small college in California hired a man as their new assistant football coach after he claimed to be former professional football player Lawrence McGrew. He apparently is not, but still claims to be McGrew's nephew, which still doesn't explain why he supplied the school with a Social Security number that belongs to an elderly woman. No Michael, No Money - The State of Connecticut has filed a lawsuit against a sports management company that promoted a charity golf tournament last year and claimed Michael Jordan was going to play, even though no one in the former NBA star's camp had every heard of the event. The company is also in trouble for not donating nearly as much to the charity as it had promised.. Bloody
Broom Stick Hazing Update Three varsity football players have been
suspended from Mepham HS in Long Island, New York as police investigate reports
that as many as three junior varsity players were locked alone in a room with
upperclassmen, held down, and sodomized with a broom handle. The incident
apparently came to light because (hold on to your stomachs) one of the boys was still
bleeding several days after the incident. The school's superintendent was
quick to denounce the attacks saying, "We don't allow hazing, period." Hate
to disagree with you there, sir, but you practically ENCOURAGE hazing when you
take a group of teen-aged boys to a week long football camp, away from home,
without any adult supervision (the coaches stay in a separate cabin.) More High School Hijinks - A girl's HS volleyball team is being forced to forfeit three games because it used an illegal player. Why was she illegal? Did a teacher fix a grade for her? Did she take money from an agent or borrow a car from LeBron James? No, according to reports, the girl actually lived outside the school district but allegedly a school board member told the player's family to use her address as their "residence." BadJocks First - Australia's new women's netball coach caused an uproar in the sport when she referred to the world champion New Zealand "a bunch of scrubbers". Scrubber, apparently is a slang word down under for and ugly girl, which the coach claims she didn't know at the time she made the statement, which she is sorry for now. Netball requires coaching?
"Giant Tampon" Update:
Michigan State School Newspaper Does Follow-up Story - Coach sez hazing
incident was ". . . just a part of the college sports experience. We'll use
it as a teachable moment." Isn't that nice. Full
story in the State News. BadJocks
Drunken Babe of the Week - Danielle Stanage,
22, was arrested for drunk driving
after she stole a golf cart from a local course that still had TWO SETS OF
CLUBS IN THE BACK and drove erratically along several country roads before pulling
into a driveway and passing out. She blew a .20% which may qualify her for
honorary membership in the BadJocks BAC rankings! #132! A HS wrestling coach in West Virginia has been suspended after being charged with sexual abuse for allegedly attacking with one of the team's "mat maids." According to reports, the coach picked the girl up before a match and made a stop at his office in the high school were he allegedly sexually assaulted her. What's odd is that from there the two calmly proceeded on to the match. (Thanks to Rick Hively for the link!) Hands
Down, These Guys Are Still the Nastiest Bastards in Sports! Rugby players,
that's who! This one actually admitted to gouging the eyes and biting
an opponent during a recent game! Holy crap, take a look at that guy's
shoulder! I've see half-eaten steaks with fewer teeth marks on them! #131! HS gym teacher accused of having sex with two different teenaged girls on two different occasions. Must not have had the million dollars needed to get them to "double up on a dude like him." Smile! Hidden camera shows man hiding in HS girls locker room before volleyball practice. Officials were not able to actually catch the guy but the did find several ceiling tiles removed. Wait a minute, if the camera is hidden and can see into the girls locker room, does that mean they also have tape of . . . Well, That's Not Going to Make Them Any Happier - Argentine's pro soccer championship was canceled after 70 people were hurt during playoff game that had to be halted at halftime because of the fan violence. That'll Learn Ya! Former assistant HS basketball coach sues school after his dismissal on grounds his First Amendment Rights were violated. How's that, you ask? He claims that after he went to the school's AD to complain about the head coach's "win at all cost" bullying tactics on players and parents that he was fired from his job for speaking out. You Heard it Here First Folks! Almost a month ago when the Maurice Clarett thing was just breaking, BadJocks asked if we would ever see him in an Ohio State uniform again. Well, he may not play football for the Buckeyes again, but it sounds like he might be wearing an Ohio state PRISON uniform in the near future, after the former running back was slapped with a misdemeanor falsification charge. The charge relates to the "mistake" he made in reporting that thousands of dollars worth of his stuff was taken when a car he "borrowed" was stolen. According to Coach Tressel, Clarett could also be out of a scholarship very soon. New Addition to the BAC
Rankings! A drunken 18-year-old high school football fan is accused of
running onto the field during last Friday's game and smacking
a coach and several players with a stick before the coach ran him down and
tackled him from behind. Realizing how drunk he was, officials immediately
called 911 and tests later showed he had a blood alcohol content level of 0.24%!
Word of Warning: When your BAC exceeds your age, you've got problems,
pal! (Thanks to Scott Faldon for the link!) Sharpie Sodomy Update - Remember the Methodist College football player who was hazed by his teammates and they tried to shove a marker up his rectum, or so he claims? A judge has just ruled that there will be no gag order in the upcoming case where the player is suing the University. Shades of Woody Hayes? The Air Force Academy claims to have game film from last Saturday showing a Northwester coach slammed a forearm into one of it's players on the sidelines, right before that player was ejected for a flagrant foul. More College Hazing! What unspeakable
acts have the men's AND women's lacrosse teams at the University of Maryland
committed? The Terps athletic department is investigating hazing allegations
after receiving an e-mail claiming violations had occurred. Unfortunately,
the school's not giving up and gory details at the moment, but if you have inside
information, BadJocks could change all that. Email
in strictest confidence at badjocks2 at yahoo.com. (Thanks to Bill and Thrill
at Live 105.7 FM in Baltimore for the link!) BadJocks First! Hurling Ref Beaten - No, not a drunken referee who vomited, an official working the game of hurling, which is kind of like field hockey for guys. Apparently, he tossed a couple of players out of game, and they waited for him afterwards and pounded on him as he left the field. As league officials moved in to help, fans joined in the beating, which made for a great family event all around. #130! Okay, so this guy isn't exactly a high school coach, but he is working with teen-agers. And besides, how often do you hear about a youth boxing coach is accused of fondling a 16-year-old female fighter? He's 62, she's 16. Double Standard? Earlier this year we reported on a school district in Pennsylvania that made it a policy for any of their girl's athletic teams to forfeit a game where the opposing team suited up any male players. (The rule seemed to be aimed specifically at field hockey.) Well, the girls field hockey Big Spring High School will face a team with boys on it this Friday and has already announced it will forfeit the game. Ironically, the district has no policy about girls playing on boys teams, and in fact, the Big Spring High School boys soccer team was allowed to compete last week against a school that allowed girls on its team. Is that fair? Let your voice be heard on the BadJocks Message Board. BadJocks Update - Seven HS football players who accidentally severed several tendons in a freshman football player's hand in an attempt to loosen his grip on a gym locker so they could duct tape him to a bench face charges, six as juvies, and one as an adult. "Giant Tampon" Update: Michigan State U student newspaper writes editorial condemning college sports hazing after incident reported by BadJocks last week. (See links under column at left.) Gym Teacher/Pop Warner Youth Football Coach Arrested in Front of Team at Practice - Parents of players on the North Port Colts were upset with police who chose to arrest the coach in from of his team of 7 to 9-year-olds on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and manufacturing marijuana. A grandmother of one of the players sez, "It's not that I condone what they were doing, but this was ridiculous. They could have handled it differently." Site contains sheepish mug shots of the coach and his wife who was also charged. Hidden Camera Catches HS Football Coach Smacking Player on Team Bus - After a 28-0 loss last weekend, a surveillance camera on a Louisiana HS bus allegedly coach a coach yelling at one of his players and smacking another one so hard the player's helmet flew off. The coach was later booked on two counts of simple battery. More Golfer-on-Golfer Violence! Two men, apparently upset with the slow play of the foursome in front of them, took their anger out on those golfers, beating them with their clubs. One of the victims had his ear sliced in half in the attack, while the other had internal bleeding in his head. Both of the attackers were arrested. (Thanks to Fark.com for the link!) Last week, a former U of Arkansas All-American was accused of striking another golfer with his club over slow play. From the "Strange But True" Files - An assistant soccer parent/coach has been charged with misdemeanor assault after he allegedly tackled, then pulled the shorts and underwear off an 11-year-boy at a soccer practice. Witnesses say that after the attack that the boy crawled over to retrieve his shorts and ran off into the woods using his clothes to cover himself. The coach, in his defense, claims that there's "lots more" to story, but he can't talk about it until the trial in December. (Thanks to Our Good Friend for the link!) More South Carolina HS Foot-Brawl Violence - What is it about South Carolina and HS football? Last week there was a brawl that involved more than 250 people and resulted in the arrests of 6 people. The police had to pull there guns to get the crowd under control! Now, this past weekend at the Hanahan-Timberland game, a 16-year-old student got into a fight with several cops after he refused to move from an area where spectators were not supposed to stand. During the melee, someone tried to grab one officer's gun so he used pepper spray to subdue the teen, but unfortunately as happens often in these cases, innocent cheerleaders where also hit. One with asthma had to be transported to the hospital. Any bets on where we have a brawl free weekend this Friday? Any recommendations for games we should be watching for potential unrest or arrests? BadJocks Update: Mom drops lawsuit against school district after daughter, who was demoted from cheerleading squad by the coach for missing practices, was suddenly reinstated to the squad in time for Friday's big game. The girl's mother had originally claimed she would be "irreparably harmed" by the demotion. Scottish Soccer Coach Suspended
for Four Months - This guy has refused to pay a fine he received for talking
trash about a referee earlier this year. Because he had not paid it on time
earlier, the league had already doubled the original fine, which he wasn't going
to pay anyone. I guess everyone has learned their lesson now, haven't they. |
