Top Ten Favorite Stories of 2004

#10. NHL's Mike Danton “Murder for Hire”
Truly one of the stranger "big name" jock stories of 2004 involved St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton--charged in a bizarre  murder-for-hire scheme. Fortunately, our friends at TheSmokingGun.com got their hands on the actual criminal complaint filed against Danton, detailing the entire "Hit the Hitman" plot. See if you can follow this: Danton calls a female friend and tells her a Canadian hitman is in his way down from the Great White North to settle some kind of debt and asks her if she knows anyone who can hit the hitman. Her friend agrees to do it for $10,000, but here's the catch: Danton wants the Canadian hitman murdered in his apartment and wants this guy to make it look like a tag-team burglary gone bad! Turns out though that the "Canadian hitman" is actually a live-in acquaintance of Danton's who quarreled with him earlier in the week over his "drinking and promiscuity." When the murder plot ultimately fizzled, the acquaintance/roommate called Denton (while being taped by police) and asked why he wanted him killed. According to the complaint, Danton broke down and cried, and said felt he was backed into the corner and didn't want the acquaintance to "leave him." You can read it all for yourself here.

#9.  Biggest Jerk in the Stands: Rangers Fan Takes Foul Ball From Toddler
Remember the guy at the Texas Rangers baseball game this summer who jumped over a row of seats to steal a foul ball from a 4-year-old boy and his mother? Matt Starr, a 28-year-old landscaper and former youth minister came to symbolize everything that was wrong with fans at professional sporting events. I'm a reasonable person, so I went back and watched the video again and, well, sorry he's still the biggest jerk in the ballpark as far as I am concerned. Yes, people do crazy stuff going for foul balls all the time, and he wouldn't be the first one to fall down a row or two to get one. But as soon as he saw where he landed, and who he rolled on to get that ball, he should have at least offered it to the kid or his mom. He then had several innings to come to his senses and he didn't. Bottom line: he doesn't deserve to be tarred and feathered, but he's also not going to get any sympathy from BadJocks. For the full story of this event. click here. Meanwhile, the "Foul Ball Kid", aka Nicholas O’Brien, had a field day with the media.

#8.  Hockey Mom Flashes Breasts at Opposing Fans During Son's Game
Female Hockey Fan Lifts Shirt, Flashes Opposing Fans . . . at Her 11-Year-Old Son's Game! Thanks Mom! The life of a pre-teen boy is so carefree most of them probably wish that something crazy like this would happen, right? This incident allegedly happened at a game in the Greater Toronto Hockey League (Oh Canada!) York Toros and Mississauga Terriers in late November. According to a complaint letter received by the league, toward the end of the game a female fan lifted her top and, while she was still technically covered with a bra, the woman did shake her breasts side to side in an odd attempt to taunt opposing fans. The shocked letter-writer took her two young boy and quickly left the area but immediately ran into the woman (nicknamed "Mrs. Jugs" by this reporter) again. The woman then claims that Mrs. Jugs, upon seeing her disapproving look, yelled at her saying, "What the hell are you looking at? Have you never seen t--s?" To which her one of boys gleefully replied, "Not as droopy as those old saddlebags!" (Okay, we made that last part up, but it would have been funny as hell if one of the little guys did, don't you think?) The league is considering banning Mrs.Jugs from the rink. On a positive note, her now thoroughly embarrassed son's team, the Toros won the game 4-0.

#7.  Weed Falls Out of HS Softball Player's Glove During Game
A 17-year-old softball player from Conneaut High School in Ohio was cited for possession after the bag of pot allegedly fell from her ball glove as she took the field. Her genius boyfriend, Jose Tirado, 19, reportedly told the police the marijuana was his, which didn't get his girlfriend off the hook, but it did get him cited for drug possession. Bonus: Many of you may remember a similar incident just over a year ago when a bag of weed dropped from the shorts of a Michigan HS basketball player during a tournament game. Kids, listen to Uncle Bob on this one: leave your weed in the locker room until after the game. Or locked in the glove compartment of your car. Or maybe in that strongbox you keep under your bed.

#6.  Soccer Fans Throw Garden Gnomes
UK Soccer Hooligans Jailed for Brawl With Rival Fans That Saw Them Throwing . . . Garden Gnomes? BadJocks has always said that UK soccer fans are some of the nastiest sports fans in the world . . . and sometimes the most creative. In North Wales, more than a dozen men, including a youth soccer coach jailed after violence flared between Wrexham and Port Vale supporters. According to police, as the rival fans battled outside the stadium amongst the homes and gardens in the local neighborhood, many of them started hurling bricks and garden gnomes at each other. All were banned from football matches for six years.

#5.  Topless Tuesday Girls HS Swimming Practice
HS Girls Swimming Coach Suspended for "Topless Tuesday" Practice - It started out innocently enough (it always does) when the girls swimming team at Rocori High School in Minnesota held "Two-Piece Tuesday" a once-a-year day when the girls wear two-piece suits to practice. Sure, throw off those ugly one-piece suits and put on something a little fun, great idea, right? Well, it had been every year until this year when some of the girls decided to play a "prank" on the coach and turn "Two-Piece Tuesday" into "Topless Tuesday" and swam part of the practice without only half of their suits. Now here's the interesting part: the coach says it was all over in about 15 minutes and the girls put the rest of their clothes on for the remainder of practice . . . but it sounds like the school decided to suspend Coach Laura Molinari because she didn't report the incident--and turn in the offending gals--to the principal. (Thanks to long time BadJocks reader Artie Bigley for the story!)

#4. Joe Namath's Drunken TV Appearance
Say It Ain't So, Joe! Former NFL star QB Joe Namath, who was caught on national TV drunkenly telling ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber that he "wanted to kiss her" in the middle of an interview, eventually decided to go into rehab for alcohol abuse . . . although he didn't sound 100% sure about what he was actually doing. Boasted Broadway Joe, "Well, I've enrolled, or I've gone into a center and I'm getting personal help there. These people are experts and we need to talk." You might need to do more than talk to get past this one, Joe. Our friend Brooks at SportsByBrooks.com still have the actual video clip of the incident.  Or listen to the audio of the interview by clicking here.

#3.  HS Coach Sex Scandal of the Year: The Nutsack Nutjob
It was hard picking a favorite among the nearly 230 high school coach sex scandals we reported on in 2004: there was the Wisconsin girls soccer who put his "girlfriend" on a bus to Mexico for a "surprise vacation;" another coach who had sex so frequently with two underage girls in the school where he worked that his lawyer demanded the cops look for "DNA evidence" that still might be hanging around there; and several coaches who got caught soliciting people they thought were teens in Internet chat rooms, only to find out they were cops. No, all of those are wonderful stories, but our favorite involves a gymnastics coach at Mt. Spokane High School has resigned after it was revealed that he approached an espresso stand three times in June of 2002. Nothing wrong with that, you say? Try picturing the middle-aged coach, John Stump, doing that in nothing but a G-string. Unfortunately for Stump, his little underwear parade may have gone un-reported except for the fact that the girl who worked at the stand was a HS student who recognized him from his coaching activities. For his part, Stump says he was "going through a hard time in his life."

#2.  Middle-Aged Transvestite Cheerleader Suspected of Trying to Kidnap Real Cheerleader
We also had a lot of good cheerleader stories this year, but this one had to be one of our all-time favorites, and here's our original headline: Middle-Aged Transvestite Paperboy Faces Additional Chargers After "Cheerleader" Incident - Robert Domasky, aka Kelly Dawn Hullenbaugh, now faces stalking, forgery and false identification charges in addition to the charges related to his attempt to get into a girls HS locker room. Cops say he fantasized about being a cheerleader and also claimed to be a lesbian who was attracted to the young girls in uniform. Link includes video clip. Pictures can be found here.)
Earlier: Middle-Aged Transvestite Paperboy Tries to Get Into Girl's Locker Room at HS, Claims He Wants to Be Cheerleader - This certainly is one of the stranger stories we've ever reported on at BadJocks! A 48-year-old Pittsburgh area man, who goes by the name Kelly Dawn Hullenbaugh, tried to make his way into the girl's locker room before last Friday's home football game at Greensburg Salem High School. When a custodian stopped him, the shemale claimed to be looking for the cheerleading coach to provide him with "some lessons." That didn't wash, so he was chased from the building and later located at his apartment by police who found a foot-long knife in Hullenbaugh's Jeep next to a Greensburg Salem gym bag embroidered with the name "Nicole," which contained a cheerleading uniform and pom-poms. They immediately thought she, I mean, he, had abducted a girl from the squad, but after breaking down the door to Hullenbaugh's apartment, found him alone. After searching his apartment, police removed a box of items that included high school yearbooks, photos of Hullenbaugh dressed in cheerleading uniforms, and pictures of girls wearing Hempfield Area cheerleading uniforms, apparently taken in a locker room and in the high school gym . . . although none of the photos of the girls was of a sexual nature. Police also found evidence that he had stolen the identities of three women to obtain credit cards. Not exactly the petite cheerleader-type Hullenbaugh, who also goes by the name Robert Domasky, is 5 feet,10 inches tall and weighs over 200 pounds . . . and also looks a lot like Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie."

#1.  Our "Bad Jock of the Year" for 2004 
The "Caddyshack" Groundskeeper
How can you NOT love a guy who bring's Bill Murray's famous character from the movie "Caddyshack," Carl Spackler, to life? Christopher Lehan, 36, an employee of the private Sedgewood Golf Club in Kent, N.Y. was cited in September while sitting in a golf cart--at night--with a flashlight and a loaded shotgun after police received a complaint of shots being fired by neighbors near the course. When they arrived officers found Lehan had already killed three of the varmints and was totally unaware he had violated several hunting laws and was cited for carrying a loaded weapon in a moving vehicle.
