Painful Sports Video of the Week: Ballboy Takes One to the Head

Not sure where this happened or when, but it’s obviously a professional tennis match and the guy with his back to you returns a serve that catches the ballboy at the net right in the face! I think this somehow involved a player named Juan Martin Del Potro , but that’s about it. Anyone else find details on this, drop us an email at BadJocks@Yahoo.com .

Cardinals Fans Arrested for Vandalizing McNabb’s Arizona Home, Leave Address Behind for Cops

There are dedicated fans . . . and then there are idiots. sometimes they are hard to tell apart. Rex Michael Perkins, 37, and Ryan Hanlon, 28, cannot be considered true football fans after what they did to the yard of the Arizona home of Philadelphia Eagle’s quarterback Donavon McNabb, although there seem to be no arguments about their stupidity.

According to Chandler, AZ cops the duo pulled three “pranks” at the home, the last one burning the words “Go Cards,” “Go Kurt” and “I (heart symbol) AZ” on McNabb’s lawn using diesel fuel shortly after midnight on January 17. It didn’t take police long to figure out who the culprits were . . . and it didn’t take a CSI: Phoenix team to crack the case. Here’s more from the National Post:
Sergeant Joe Favazzo of the Chandler Police Department confirmed to PA SportsTicker that the pair used diesel fuel to burn the words “Go Cards,” “Go Kurt” and “I (heart symbol) AZ” on McNabb’s lawn shortly after midnight on January 17.“They thought it was funny,” Favazzo said.
What was humorous, Favazzo noted, was how the pair led police directly to them. The use of diesel fuel was the third “prank” pulled by the pair in three days, said Favazzo, who noted that McNabb laughed off the first two incidents. In the second incident, a cardboard box and cardboard sign were left in McNabb’s yard with the words “Go Cards” and “Beat Philly” on them. When police arrived after McNabb discovered the messages burned into the lawn, the officer “did about a five-second investigation,” Favazzo said. On the cardboard was a sticker with Perkins’ named and addressed affixed to it. When the officer went to his home, Perkins confessed and added that he had an accomplice — Hanlon.The led to the arrests for both men, who had their mug shots taken, were finger-printed and had to sign a citation to appear in court. The damage was estimated at $2,000.

Russian Skater Ekaterina Rubleva Suffers Real "Wardrobe Malfunction"

The show must go on . . . even as the top comes down! You have to give credit to Russian pairs skater Ekaterina Rubleva, for continuing on with her routine at the 2009 Euros Ice Dancing competition. During her compulsory dance with partner Ivan Shefer, Rubleva suffered a real “wardrobe malfunction” similar to the one that befell Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl a few years ago. Although this one was not a cheap gag to get ratings. The very nice looking Rubleva is just skating along when the top strap over her right shoulder pops loose . . . and there’s not much else there to hold things in place. At one point her right breast pops completely out when partner Shefer hold up her arm as if to say “Tada!”. The pair did finish their routine . . . although as you can see in this “slightly not safe for work” video on YouTube, Rubleva desperately tries to keep things covered.

After that unique performance, Ruleva-Shefer at in 12th place in the competition, but #1 in the hearts of schoolboys everywhere who knew this would happen someday. Anyone thing the ratings for the next Winter Olympics might be up? (Metro – WARNING CONTAINS UNCENSORED VERSION OF PICTURE!)
