Video Shows Teen Going All "Dukes of Hazard" at Middle School Baseball Game - And no, he didn't hook slide across the hood of his Dodge Charger painted with a rebel flag. For some unknown reason, George Cowen, 17, allegedly decided he needed to get a closer look at the baseball game that was going on at Carver High School (Boston) . . . with his car, and it was all caught on tape. According to witnesses, Cowen's car came toward the playing field at a high rate of speed, became airborne after hitting a small hill, then came toward the area where the kids were playing, sending everyone running. The car then did a couple of "doughnuts" on the field and left. Cops initially gave chase, but gave up when the speeds got to high and just wrote down this punk's license plate number and waited for him at his house. Cowen now faces a whopping 11 charges, including assault by means of a deadly weapon, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, malicious destruction of property more than $250 and--this will get you a long time in the slammer--disturbing a school assembly. (Local 10 - link includes great video clip with several parents talking about how fast the cah was going.)

Today's Phrase That Pays (in Jail Time): "Do You Know Who I Am?" - It's usually associated with a second-tier athlete who thinks everyone should know who they are, but we usually don't. An altercation with a fan or the cops ensues and arrest follows that. The latest victim is New Jersey Nets forward Richard Jefferson. Not sure I could pick him out of a line-up (not that I have been asked to . . . yet), but that apparently didn't keep him from trying to crash a man's birthday party at the Graves 601 Hotel in downtown Minneapolis last January. According to the birthday boy, Lyle Fox, Jefferson crossed over into a roped off area at the Infinity Room , reserved for the private party and was asked to leave. Jefferson didn't like that and allegedly became angry and grabbed Fox, pushing him onto a bench while choking him with both hands and asking the all important question, "Do you know who I am.” Fox contents he wasn't able to respond because he "became unconscious for a short time" and allegedly still has trouble speaking and swallowing. Jefferson is charged with fifth degree assault. (My Fox Twin Cities)  

Wilson HS Baseball Team Bus Hazing Update: Police Source Says Coaches Charged Because Exact Same Assault Also Occurred in 2007 - When two baseball coaches were arrested after a hazing incident a few weeks back, people couldn't understand why. Sure, the sexual assault on the back of the team bus was nasty, but not that much different from other incidents we report on a regular basis on this site, so why were they facing charges? Now the answer comes out: a source on the police department says that the reason that varsity baseball coach Thomas J. Baia, 40, JV coach William M. Atlas, 35, were criminally charged with endangering the welfare of a child was because a similar hazing incident had happened on the bus during the 2007 season. As a result, one coach sat at the back and one at the front of the bus during road trips. Unfortunately, that practice ended this season and the result was a new round of hazing. Both the school's principal and athletic director insist they were never told about the past hazing incidents. (Buffalo News) Thanks to reader K for the update!

Another Father/Son Bonding Moment: The Old "Plastic Bag Over the Head" Game! - We got a tip on this story from reader Curt B. who emailed us the link and sheepishly added, "I enjoy your site.  I'm feel guilty admitting it, but it's true." Well, if it makes you feel any better Curt, we feel guilty about publishing it every day, but it's stories like this one that keep us going. Just when we think we have heard or seen it all, someone comes out and tops the other bad jocks!  First, the good news: no children were harmed in the making of this blog post. The bad news? Former Vikings defensive lineman Darrion Scott was charged yesterday with assaulting his own 2-year-old son. How? Well, Scott's ex-wife claims that the 6-3 and 290 pounder held a dry cleaning bag over his son's head back on April 26 during his weekend visitation. The boy's mother claims her son was on his back on the floor, with "his legs kicking and that Scott was holding the bag tightly around the boy's neck." So it doesn't sound like someone "accidentally" got tangled up in the bag while looking for something in the closet. Scott's explanation? He claims the two were just playing with the bag, and that he "wanted to see if the boy could get the bag off his head by himself." Like you, the cops also didn't believe that pile of BS, so Scott has been charged with felony assault in the third degree, felony domestic assault by strangulation and misdemeanor endangerment of a child. He also didn't help his case by having a loaded .50-caliber handgun in an unlocked bedroom nightstand where the toddler could easily get to it. Anyone have fond memories of playing this game with their dad? (Star Tribune) And can somebody help grandma get that bag off her head?

Former Georgia Tech Quarterback, Heisman Trophy Runner-Up, Arrested for DUI - Close, but no cigar. Just like his run for the Heisman Trophy a few years ago, former Georgia Tech QB Joe Hamilton fell just short of making the big time: after being arrested for DUI earlier this weekend, he blew an impressive 0.199% blood alcohol concentration . . . just shy of what it takes to make the Top 20 of the World Famous BadJocks BAC Rankings. (That takes at least a .23% or about another beer for Hamilton.) Cops had pulled Hammy over after an alleged hit-and-run accident in which his vehicle and license plate matched the description given by the other driver. On the plus side, Hamilton recently joined the Tech football staff as the assistant director of player personnel. (Atlanta Journal Constitution)

HS Baseball Players Expelled After Hazing Incident - Four members of the Roosevelt High School (PA) baseball team have been expelled, and two others suspended, after an alleged hazing incident on a team bus back in March. What did they do that got them booted out of school? According to the school district, all were accused of rubbing their genitals on other players' faces. (Greeley Tribune)

#107! Cheerleading Coach Accused of Sexually Abusing 13-Year-Old Girl

Japanese Golf Pro Arrested for Paying Teenaged Pimp/Girl Money to Have Sex with Another Teenaged Girl - This is all very confusing, but then again it is Japan and yesterday they gave us the "strip badminton" video (see link below), so who are we to complain? In this case we have a local golf pro (not like a PGA player) who runs a driving range. So, essentially, if his job is like those in America, he's handing out buckets of balls and then driving the little cart that picks up the balls on the range while drunk college kids try to hit him. NOW you can understand why this guy, as opposed to say the Japanese version of Tiger Woods, might have to pay for sex. Where this story really gets weird is that it appears both this guy and an female teen pimp were both arrested for arranging for him to get it on with a junior high school prostitute at a hotel.

Golf Cart Video Clip of the Year? Thief Abandons Stolen Car, Steals Golf Cart and Leads Cops on Low Speed Chase Through Course - And it was all caught on camera by a Las Vegas news helicopter. This has to be one of the funniest pursuit videos we have ever seen! Guy steals a police "bait car" then, when it stops running on a freeway, runs over to a nearby golf course and steals a golf cart (which, unfortunately, does NOT end up in the water). All the time the local news reporters are giving a hilarious play-by-play commentary. This one is a classic!

Headline of the Year? Three Sisters Demand Right to Play Swamp Football Topless - Before you get any more excited, you should note that this is European football (aka soccer) and not American football. And "swamp football"--according to the description--sounds like they're just playing soccer in the mud. So, this would be like topless mud wrestling WITHOUT the action. Still that doesn't seem to bother three Tolland sisters from Clydebank, Dunbartonshire, (UK) Pamela, 26, Lisa, 18, and Jo-anne, 16, who claim they are being discriminated against because the men who play get to do so without wearing shirts, something the gals say "dragged us down." So, this year, the trio play to go against the rules and play just like the men do. In response, organizers have hastily agreed to ban the men from playing shirt free this year. Sorry, not pics yet of the ladies to decide if they are "hittable" or not. (Daily Record) Thanks to Artie Bigley for another great link!
Below, a video that demonstrates swamp football. Sorry, no chicks are playing.

Dumbass Soccer Move of the Week: Player Headbutts Opponent, Then Falls Down Himself - You have to see this video for yourself boys and girls: this idiot clearly headbutts the captain of the other team, then falls down as if somehow he was a victim! Of course, even in soccer ALL the referees aren't blind, so they eventually decided he should get a red card and will be suspended for three games as a result. Watch the video for yourself here.

Arizona State Cheerleaders in Trouble for Racy Photos? School Says Yes, Then No - Did some naughty Internet pictures of the ASU cheerleaders in their underwear cause the school to drop the squad? Several TV stations were reporting just that last Friday after photos appeared on the website The Dirty (an edited sample at right). Then someone actually contacted the Athletic Department which said the program had not been cut (and certainly not for clothed pics of the girls from two years ago) but only transferred to the control of the marching band director and the fact that it happened on the same day was just a coincidence. Hard for us to say exactly what went on, but we can honestly say we've seen worse/better naughty cheerleader pictures and to cancel the whole program over these pics would have been a little bit of an overreaction.
